Andrew Shafer - a great attorney for all transportation needs

Andrew Shafer has done contractual work for me in addition to handling several cases for litigation on several occasions. Andrew is the top in his field, especially with regard to transportation contracts as far as I am concerned. I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing very competent an...d capable counsel.
