Just Won't Quit!!!!!!

I have aquired the service of Peter Schaffer for about three years now. He have worked on my case methicolously and always treated it personally, making you feel that you are part of his family. First thing you will notice about him is his unique setting. his office is at his home of residensy. no...w this is very rare and i thing it show he has nothing to hide and he is not going nowhere to hide from you, and you know where to find him. unlike other lawyers that has big spacy offices. next thing you know they have move or won't even answer your calls. It's truly a pleasure having him as my lawyer and highly recommended. and his law firm comes with the most accomodating people you will encounter. He has my outmost trust and highest respect..and he will alway be there to help you out.

When you are hurt and need help.

I was fired for getting hurt which was not my fault. Peter's doctors and staff was awesome. If you only want a shoulder to cry on well Peter is not your man but if you want someone to have your back then he's your guy. Look out though he's a straight shooter and very honest. All in all I would go bac...k to him and his team anytime.

Highly Recommended

Very efficent and Very Reponsive, He worked very hard for me and I would advise anyone needing an attorney that you give Mr. Schaeffer a chance. The employees were also very supported.

Thank You Peter for being there for Me!

Dear Peter, Had it not been for your patience in me and knowledge of the law, Worker's Compensation of California, and my employer would of broke me. You stood by me during my injury. When I felt I was going crazy because I couldn't believe how I was being treated by incompetent Worker's Compensat...ion doctors, as I watched my Employer collude with Worker's Comp to get me fired, you were there for me to bring back balance to the situation. You and your office was that voice in the dark, my only glimmer of hope that I would overcome those times. You set me up with an excellent doctor, and a settlement that I did not expect, but most of all you gave me peace of mind that there was someone on my side. You not only fought for me, but you explained every step of the process, to it's fruition so that I could clearly understand what was going on. Had it not been for you, I would not of been able to move past that point in my life, I would not of gotten the use of my knee back, and I would of been just one more Work Injury statistic left behind. You treated me as if I were family, and no you did not always give me what I wanted, You gave me what I needed. Thank You for your Strength and your Knowlege and for being there for people like me. Wishing you the Best, Gary W. Jones II

He will also tell you up front what is the best direction to take with your case with no confusing lawyer speak. Than...ks again Peter for your help.
