Speeding ticket removed.

I received a speeding ticket going down baker grade. Having a CDL, it's important to have a clean record. I found this attorney and based on all the great reviews, I hired him to represent me. It was money well spent. I highly recommend him. His office was consistently in communication with me throug...hout the entire process. I have absolutely nothing but positive to say about him and his office staff. Thank you Mr. Cormell and your entire staff!

DUI dismissal!

I was referred to Shaffer from my brother in law, and I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of a good lawyer! Shaffer and his team have been a HUGE help, they got my charges dismissed too! They were incredibly friendly and supportive throughout the whole process as well.

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.

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.

"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."

He is simply an all around great guy, and very knowledgeable about criminal law and traffic matters. If you are facing criminal charges, you want Shaffer by your side. 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.
