Best Employment Defense!

We hired Mr. Schaffer when our company was sued by a former employee. He helped negotiate and quickly resolve the matter. His knowledge and expertise in California labor and employment law is extraordinary. He was strategic and aggressive. He helped us save thousands of dollars. He went above and bey...ond. I would highly recommend him to any business owner looking for a reputable attorney with integrity who will get you great results!

Goes above and beyond

John Schaffer was absolutely fantastic! Our lawsuit was a very time consuming frivolous suit brought against our daughter by a delusional aquaintance who was upset with her and happens to be a lawyer himself. John was on top of every deadline and took the time to keep us appraised and encouraged. ... He was able to enlighten the plaintiffs attorney of the ridiculousness of this suit and have it dropped. We would highly recommend him.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
