quoteBrent is great to work with. He sets realistic expectations and works extremely hard to ensure those expectations are met. He's personable and he's a straight shooter. Not only will I be recommending him to anyone I know but at this point I will not consider consulting with any other attorney, regardless of the circumstances.end quote
- Joshua W., Jan 2018

quoteOut of all of the attorneys I have had to deal with in the past, I have to say that Mr. Schafer is by far the best. He made sure to push back my court date until he had everything he needed to try my case. More than I can say for any other attorney I have dealt with. I remember leaving a hearing one day and we were stopped by an acquaintance of Mr. Schafer (colleague or client not sure) but he said to me "He your lawyer", "best in the 5 state area." I chuckled to my self, for I had not herd of the 5 state area before only the 3 state area. But looking back know I would agree with his statement. I would definitely recommend him for you legal needs. end quote
- Tom L., Jan 2018

quoteBrent first contacted me to testify in the Koua Fong Lee hearing in which he helped Mr. Lee get out of prison after his Toyota accelerated unintentionally. That work was all pro bono – without pay. Think of what that meant to the Lee family! Two years ago I was hit by a car while riding my bicycle in the crosswalk. Brent filed suit and negotiated a settlement that I’m very satisfied with. He is professional, effective, easy to work with and honest. I'm glad I hired him. end quote
