The Best Legal Representation
I would highly recommend The Law Offices of Schaffer Cormell to provide representation on any matter they handle. My husband is a criminal attorney and we have been friends with Schaffer Cormell for over 20 years. My case was an unfair traffic ticket where I was truly not guilty. I also never had to make an appearance in court. My case went all the way to trial and ultimately was dismissed. That is the best outcome that a person could hope for. While this may have only been a traffic ticket, based on my knowledge of Schaffer Cormell, I would not hesitate to hire him for any criminal case. His staff were attentive and kept me updated on the progression of my case. I am deeply grateful for Attorney Schaffer Cormell and his team.

Excellent attorney!
Shaffer and his team were nothing but excellent in the way they handled my case. Very compassionate attorney, who understand his clients without judgement on why the person is in the position they are. Answered my calls even when there was not much to say and always lend some advice and help when needed. He and his team really put some hard work and got me great results on a rather complicated extreme situation and hard case. Without doubt if you need a criminal defense attorney go with Shaffer, he and his team have your back.

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.

Excellent & professional
Excellent, professional representation and service for our case. After multiple scheduled hearings and officer no-shows, the best case resolution was the dismissal of charges. I strongly recommend them. Thanks!

Speeding Ticket - Dismissed
Over a year ago I received a 100+ mph speeding ticket and knew obtaining the services of a lawyer would be most helpful. I randomly googled lawyers that worked around where my incident occurred and decided upon Shaffer Cormell after reading so many positive reviews. From emails with his assistants to speaking with Shaffer on the phone, I was immediately put at ease after hearing what the plan of action would be from him. Throughout the year, I received updates on my case from his team and what steps they were doing to push it along. Ultimately, the case was dismissed recently and I could not be more pleased. A reasonable one time fee from the start allowed me to have peace of mind all year until my case settled.

Above and beyond!
Want a lawyer that cares about his clients and will work and TAKE HIS TIME to get you the best possible outcome? LOOK NO FURTHER! Mr Cormell and his team, including Attorney Hickey on the final stretch of things really did some special things for me. the I had duis from 2016 and 2019. I came to him about a year or so ago, not sure how it was going to go, had the warrants for the duis of course and was unsure where my life was headed. I was only sure i wanted to put these problems behind me. Tired of running. Let me tell you, him and his team have gave me, a single father, a new outlook on life. I was put in classes for my 1st dui, which im almost done with and My 2nd dui, got dismissed! From what I understand that rarely happens. But I still had the violation of probation to deal with lastly so I was still a little on edge but hopeful, I thought at best, I'd get probation reinstated, because I'd been on probation for as long as I can remember. Today Mr Hickey told me the case got dismissed, the probation, terminated! Let me tell you i had been going through some personal things prior to today and I am back. Shaffer called me tonight and gave me some kind words, God bless you man, you guys are special, I will recommend everyone to you. Keep bettering lives & thank you again. Beyond appreciative! 10 stars!

Results as expected
With little to no effort on the part of the client Schaeffer gets the results. Completely worth the call and the cost to hire good proper legal counsel for any traffic citation.

Traffic charge- DISMISSED
Unfortunately, I received another speeding ticket this year. Wasn’t sure what to do or how to fight it to have a positive outcome (dismissed). I reached out to Law offices of Shaffer Cormell since they were able to help me with my priors. All I did was submit the info requested. I was informed via email, what was happening with my case throughout the process and in the end, I received ANOTHER dismissed case! This firm is a gem and will ALWAYS be my go-to with any criminal and/or traffic charge. A++

FIRST AND ONLY CHOICE
It was the first time I had been grocery shopping after the first COVID lockdown. The sun was shining. I was in no hurry. And, it was a joy to be out. Unfortunately, Rancho Mirage police were also out with laser radar. Shaffer came to the rescue and gave me BEST representation. Most importantly, I did not have to attend court.

Reassurance and expertise throughout the legal process, and afterwards.
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!
