The best experience and outcome!

Shaffer Cormell was able to get my ticket completely dismissed and was able to handle everything for me without me ever having to leave AZ. I got a major speeding ticket where my license would have been suspended and I would have had to pay major ticket fees. I highly recommend Cormell to everyone he... is a great man willing to work with you and chat with you anytime to make sure you are fully aware of what is going on.

Extremely Satisfied with Shaffer T. Cormell

My husband and I live in Las Vegas and got a speeding ticket on our drive home from California. We retained the law offices of Shaffer T. Cormell to handle our ticket. J. Brian Campbell was assigned to handle our case. Mr. Campbell advised us well on what our options were and handled the ticket to ...the end with trial by declaration resulting in a decision in our favor. We are very satisfied and would use them again!! Thank you!

Awesome Lawyer!

This is my first time to seek legal advice from a lawyer and I was hesitant because I really don't know if he would be able to help me or not. I had two tickets for speeding one week apart and I was just desperate to have those tickets dismissed since part of my job was mainly driving. Found him on... yelp and called them. The staff, as well as Atty. Cormell, were very accommodating and understanding of my case. They were upfront and honest and worked with me beyond my expectations. They updated me with the progress of my case and it definitely made it less stressful. I got my first citation dismissed and now I'm awaiting for the second one. Hoping to have a positive outcome.

The fact that I've been provided with such excellent service...

...is completely astonishing. It's very rare that I come across a person/business that hasn't tried to screw me over. When I first called and heard the price, I thought it seemed a bit sketchy since a lot of other companies charge much more. Then we got into the discussion of what the outcome would p...robably be.. Mr. Cormell's assistant want completely honest and upfront. She told me that in my situation (SpeedingTicketOver100mph/FailuretoAppear/LicenseUpForSuspension) I more than like wasn't going to come out of it without paying for at least one of them and I was ok with that. So the first thing they did was kept my license from being suspended...And now 3 months later, I received the news that both tickets were dismissed. The most that I had to do in this entire situation was email some paperwork and make my three payments ( because they were nice enough people to sit back realize that a 27 year old college student more than like doesn't just have money like that laying around). Shaffer Cormell's team is amazing! Use them or good luck losing your case and money.........and don't forget your traffic points!

Speeding ticket dismissed!

I received a speeding ticket after I already had 3 points on my license. This ticket would have given me my 4th point and would have resulted in a license suspension. I had no choice but to fight it so I found Shaffer. He picked up my phone call at 7pm and carefully explained to me what my options we...re and his fees. They were reasonable so I agreed. He requested several trial extensions and 6 months later I received an email saying my case was dismissed! No points no fines nothing! He saved my license! This guy is the real deal. Don't think twice about hiring him.

"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."
