Jerry is Awsome

Mr. Shaffers Represented my son in a case that was very difficult for me as a parent to handle, but he assured me that he would handle the case and that he would represent us to the best of his ability and that’s exactly what he did , he communicated efficiently when needed and always kept me in the ...loop about my son’s case!! He was a blessing Thank You Jerry !!!

FANTASTIC!

I was very impressed with the way he ran his practice. Very professional and was consistent with making sure I new the details of my case. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.

Saved my bacon

Jerry Schafer's experience as a District Attorney came in handy in my case, as it was quite serious. His counsel and representation were on point and he or his staff ALWAYS returned my calls. Jerry got me out of some serious hot water!

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.
