Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.I was referred to Darald's firm by a family friend to assist with questions I had regarding creating business contracts. Darald treated me with the same patience and care that I try to provide my customers. In an industry with misnomers on trust and professionalism, Darald is a breath of fresh air. He was a true relief in an uncertain situation. He handled my contract negotiations with integrity and care, and it was clear he had my best interest at heart, not his. I plan to stick with Darald and his firm for the foreseeable future, and I know by doing so, my family and my business are in good hands.
Darald has helped me numerous times with lease agreements and various other real estate related issues. His responsiveness, knowledge, and clarity with explanations alone are enough to keep me coming back, but the trust that has developed over the years is irreplaceable. I enjoy working with him and certainly plan to continue if the need should arise.

Mr. Schaffer came highly recommended by my mother and he has certainly lived up to the expectation. I have found him to be one of the most pleasant lawyers to work with over the last year. He is knowledgeable, diligent and prompt to respond whether to emails or phone calls. I also appreciate his willingness to take ample time in order explain matters that require detail and years of training. Due to his advice, I feel much more confident in pursuing my business endeavors and am grateful to have him “on my team” for a lack of better words. In my opinion, he is the best for the job and I, like my mother also highly recommend him.
