Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.Lewis Shafer is an incredible attorney who really cares about his clients!! He was very dedicated and worked very diligently on my case. He was available when needed and guided me thru a tough time. His insights and suggestions were right on point. Thank you for all you did for me!!
Knowing that my divorce was going to be difficult, I interviewed several lawyers that were recommended to me. I decided to choose Lewis Shafer as I liked the confidence, professionalism and knowledge he portrayed. He made me feel a little more at ease as he thoroughly explained the law in every step of my case. His stategy was "PERFECT" and because of that, my case ended very well for me. Lewis Shafer was dedicated to my case and I know I made the right decision in hiring him. I HIGHLY recommend him.
I've been in the business world for over twenty-five (25) years in Boca Raton and during that period of time when I've needed to consult with an attorney, I did not look any further than Lew Shafer. I was fortunate enough to be put in his capable hands early on and found that he has consistently been the very definition of a quintessential good will ambassador for his profession. He meets and exceeds expectations at every turn. Suffice it to say he is assignment pure professional.
Lewis did a superb job of handling my case. He was competent and well-organized but also kind and personable. It was a true pleasure to work with him. If you are looking for a prompt, knowledgeable, and professional look no further than Lewis Shafer.
I have hired Lewis many times over the past 10 years for various matters. I have an understanding of how much work goes into representing a client as my Dad is a litigator. He has always given me the best advice for my situation even if I did not want the hear it. I have witnessed Lewis in action several times and was always impressed with the performance. Lewis was always prepared and ready to get my case settled. Unfortunately, the other side did not have the same agenda. In the end, all of my
Lewis was readily available to discuss my matters, explained everything to me and made me feel very comfortable.
I am lucky to have Lewis on my side. He's spot on in his analysis of the issues.
I filed a Fl Bar Grievance and then sued Shafer mediation and he refunded a portion of fee. I hired him while he was going through his own matrimonial problems but failed to disclose. I too had serious legal problems too. Alls well that ends well. He is a fighter!
Terrible. Knew this guy from when I was a kid and through my family. I didn’t get divorced. Thinks he’s a hot shot legal genius or acts like it but did a horrible job as a lawyer and a person. Yelled at me on the phone. I had a civil matter supposed to be heard in 15 days that didn’t get heard for like 4 months due to neglect of the case. And they blamed it on me. All while saying it’s very complicated legal maneuvering when it was just bs. And still in all that time they didn’t do any work so I fired him and found another attorney on my own. It was resolved almost immediately after. Garbage.
I literally dumped so much money on his desk and he kept asking for more and did nothing for my case! I went to another attorney and had things handled quickly and got the end result I was looking for. Every penny I gave to Lewis Schaffer was money down the drain. He did not care at all about my case, he only showed interest when it came to the payments. Save yourself and look for another attorney that will stand by your side and fight for you.
