Review Shaffer Cormell

An Excellent Attorney

Posted by

I was referred to this attorney by a friend who said he saved his CDL, i do not live in California. I had a speeding ticket in Barstow and was facing serious points and fines. I felt like I was in in good hands from the first phone call. My attorney was professional and answered all my questions. He got my case dismisssed! Unbelievable!

Amazing Traffic Defense

Posted by

Received a ticket for going to fast. Was reluctant to use up my traffic school option. I have to drive a lot for work and have to keep my record clean to survive. Shaffer explained his strategy and approach and did exactly what he said he would. While he couldn't guarantee me a result it worked out exactly as he and I both hoped it would. CASE DISMISSED. I couldn't be happier with the result and will definitely use his services again if I have a similair problem.

Reassurance and expertise throughout the legal process, and afterwards.

Posted by

Mr. Cormell helped me navigate the legal waters back in 2018, after a night of heavy drinking and blacking out at a music festival. Needless to say, the whole ordeal rightfully weighed heavily on me, but Mr. Cormell's council and expertise helped me throughout the process. Mr. Cormell could have left it at that, once the case concluded. However, a few years later, Mr. Cormell and his law offices helped me once again by helping me end my 3 year termination, a little under 2 years later. Thank you, Mr. Cormell, and your law offices.

Was expecting to get a lot done in a long period of time but....

got it done quicker. I needed termination of my probation and my record cleared. Not only did they get it done, but got it done quicker than I thought (I thought it would take 6 months and only took just over 2 months). I am very happy to have hired this law firm. Will recommend to others if they ever need one!

Phenomenal!

Posted by

Mr. Cormell and his staff went above and beyond for me in my situation. Though we are in a pandemic, they have done more than I even expected. The first phone call I made to Law Offices of Shaffer Cormell was early in the morning. The hours of operation are listed as 24/7 and I can vouch for that since I have called outside of regular business hours and been helped immediately. The person who answered was genuine, personable and helpful. I did not feel pressured to secure their services at any point. Upon deciding to ask for their help, the process was easy. They quickly acknowledged receiving my documents via email. They are even generous enough to set up a payment plan that is due prior to court date. They stand up to their reputation as evidenced by their remarkable success rate. Mr. Cormell is knowledgeable, reputable and an truly a valuable asset to anybody who may need legal services.

Courtney Will, Criminal defense Attorney on Aug 27, 2014
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I have known Shaffer for many years and can say that without a doubt, he is one of the most experienced, skilled, and effective criminal defense attorneys in the Inland Empire. I have worked with Shaffer on co-defendant matters, and his expertise definitely helps achieve better outcomes for both of our clients. If I ever need a second opinion on a case or help handling a matter, I know I can always count on Shaffer. That’s one of the unique qualities Shaffer possesses – the combination of a willingness to help and the ability to do so in a highly effective manner…this is exactly what he does for his clients as well. He takes a highly difficult situation and set of facts and somehow manages to achieve excellent results, whether it is through negotiation or trial. I give Shaffer my highest endorsement. If you need a top criminal defense attorney in the Inland Empire, then look no further.

Michael Waddington, Criminal defense Attorney on Jun 3, 2014

I highly endorse Shaffer Cormell! Shaffer is truly one of those lawyers that provides quality representation for his clients.

I'm a former deputy district attorney and deputy public defender. I have handled thousands of criminal cases. Mr. Cormell is an outstanding criminal defense attorney. He also gets great results in traffic court. If you are a driver with a commercial license, I've seen Shaffer get many dismissals.
