Satisfied Client Stories

Our case was large and complicated with all apparent odds stacked against us. Dan Shaffer took it, dissected it, and guided us through it to an acceptable conclusion. He brought in a supporting attorney and specialty consultants for additional expertise when it was beneficial. He gave us his recommendations but always gave us options so we could make the decisions that affected our lives while explaining the complicated legal statutes. He was extremely cost conscious throughout the course of it. We cannot say enough so Thank you will have to suffice! We are forever in his debt.
