Needed a quit claim deed. Mr. Shafer had it for me in a couple of days. That’s what you are an efficient attorney.
Mr. Shafer has been extremely professional and diligent despite our rather complicated case. We highly recommend him no matter how complicated your matter may be!
Mr. Shafer and Tara are the Real Deal. They are Caring & Friendly and helped me through my first divorce. I had no idea what to do or how to handle it and Mr. Shafer & Tara were always on top of everything. They are very Knowledgeable and were Supportive through the whole process and they were always available when you needed them. God Bless them both! I will use them again in the future if needed!
I hired Mr. Schafer to get me out of a huge mess I was in and thank God I did because I would have no idea where I would be right now without his assistance, I would definitely recommend him to friends and family which I already have and I also appreciate everything he has done for them as well
I have never met Mr Shafer but the help I received was outstanding.The staff was helpful as well as all my communication was done online and phone. great job
Attorney Shafer has worked for me on a number of cases over last 25 years, always received great results.
Attorney Shafer and his office staff were always professional. I was never made to feel that I was a burden to them with my fairly numerous inquiries.
Excellent job , recommended with eyes closed Number 1 . Did a good job with me can’t complain
Mr. Shafer was not only knowledgeable and trustworthy, he was also forthright when it came to the details of my case. I felt informed every step of the way and Mr. Shafer was capable of explaining to me my options moving forward, as well as what to expect as the case was resolved. I was able to progress with confidence, and peace of mind knowing he was in my corner. I would highly recommend Mr. Shafer to anyone in need of legal services.
If you find yourself in need of a criminal defense lawyer, as we did recently, Mr. Shafer is the man to call. We knew he was trustworthy immediately upon meeting him. Mr. Shafer is a solid professional of strong character and expert skills with a wide breadth of knowledge/experience. We were new to the area, frightened, and knew absolutely nothing about the legal system when we sought his help, which came highly recommended. Mr. Shafer and Barbara navigated us through a difficult process with candor, efficiency, thoroughness and kindness. The qualities they share as a team gave us hope. Mr. Shafer devoted the time and patience necessary to help us understand some of the specific legal nuances, including the potential impact of health issues, and to achieve reasonable resolution in the case. Finding Chuck Shafer was a blessing and we have a great deal of gratitude for this legal team who have our highest praise.
