cost effective representation - great value

hi andrew did an excellent job of minimizing attorney fees and grief to my company and staff, by quickly settling a nuisance case; his fees were miminal as he works so fast and efficiently. really great to find an old fashion attorney, who was more interested in helping his client get out of a ...jam, rather than see the client as a source of revenue.

Thorough and professional

MR Shafer has done work for me spanning several years and multiple plaintiffs. His efforts are thorough and professional. Additionally, his communication is clear and concise.

CEO

Andrew was fantastic to work with! We had a large receivable that our customer was refusing to pay for. Andrew dealt with the situation firmly and with resolve and worked out a deal where we got paid everything we were owed and even kept the customer! I cannot recommend Andrew highly enough!

Excellent Co-Counsel

I worked with Mr. Shafer as co-counsel on a case involving multi-million dollar exposure for our collective clients. I was extremely impressed with his legal arguments, work product, and work ethic. In the end all of our clients were dismissed from the case on motions practice due in no small part ...to the legal skills Mr. Shafer brought to the table.
