Case DISMISSED!!!!

This law office that handled my traffic violation case went above and beyond, ultimately securing a dismissal that was crucial for obtaining my nursing license. Their expertise and dedication were instrumental in navigating the legal intricacies, ensuring a positive outcome. The impact of their effor...ts extended far beyond the courtroom, as it directly influenced my professional aspirations. Their exceptional skills and personalized approach made all the difference, not only resolving the legal matter but also enabling me to pursue my career in nursing. I wholeheartedly recommend this law office to anyone seeking legal assistance, especially in matters that hold significant weight in their professional lives. Their ability to deliver results while understanding the broader implications on one's career speaks volumes about their commitment and proficiency. They've been an invaluable asset in achieving my goals, and I'm immensely grateful for their support.

Posted by Vitaly | December 24, 2023 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Professional, personal, respectful.

I was double-ticketed in CA. My first ticket as a CDL driver in 2+ years. This type of ticket could have a big negative impact for me. Someone I know gave me a contact for the Law Offices of Shaffer Cormell. I was almost sure that not a lot can be done in this case, but Shaffer Cormell and his team d...id a great job! Plus, they have a very respectful and professional communication with their client. I was surprised of the outcome and very relieved. I will definitely suggest to hire their services.

Best attorney in America

Best Attorney in America. Very kind & faithful guys. Helped me out with my speeding & unsafe Passing tickets & dismissed both for me. He’s a trustworthy man.Haven’t even paid in full yet. Very legitimate & low charges. God bless you guys.

Got Everything Dismissed

Christopher Hickey and Miles Booth worked on my case. I was immediately given their direct contact information. I felt like they really listened to me and got what I asked. My ex-husband wanted to fabricate lies and they got everything dismissed. They also put in proper paperwork so it never shows on... my record which I didn’t know you could do. Mr. Hickey appeared on all court dates so I didn’t have to miss work. I only had to appear for charges being dismissed. Mr. Booth work hard on paperwork to get things dismissed. Extremely happy with them and would highly recommend.

"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."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
