Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.We found ourselves in need of a lawyer and preferred to have someone local. Upon 1st meeting Brent Schafer we knew that he would be the perfect lawyer for us and he did not disappoint. He took time to explain things and kept us informed during our legal process. Great communication skills and happy with the outcome in the end.
Brent literally brought my case up out of no where. I was going through a different lawyer and he spent 6 years on it and pretty much told me there was nothing to be done. I contacted Brent and within a week was my statue of limitations and he opened the case again. It Been almost 9 years since my injury and Brent has saved me. I would recommend him in a heart beat he is very professionable and very honest on everything. Brent is very worth your money and time
Brent did an excellent job throughout the entire process by keeping me well informed of my options and outlining the different scenarios so I could make a well informed decision. He was honest with me and had my best interest at heart. I felt he was in my corner throughout and it gave me a great piece of mind. I would definitely call on him again and highly recommend him.
In 2008 I was charged with a 3rd degree assault and DUI for a domestic dispute. Brent was very helpful in strategizing the case and worked with me on every step to get the best outcome. As a result, DUI was dropped and my conviction was Gross Misdemeanor. During the process my ex-wife also filed for a protection order which could have disallowed me to see my kids. He successfully argued to not have any protection order. I am very pleased with Brent's services.
Excellent , professional and great communication. Handled my case very quickly with effective outcome. I definitely would recommend him.
My wife and I found ourselves in a legal mess and had retained a different attorney to start with. That attorney was extremely disorganized and basically told me to plead guilty to a charge I was not guilty of and move forward. I quickly realized I needed to change attorneys and luckily found Brent Schafer. Brent took the time to listen to both my wife and myself and spent extra time understanding our family and situation. He then guided us through the process of 1st appearances, the pre-trail.
Mr. Schafer provided excellent guidance and direction to me while I was dealing with great uncertainty. He was able to communicate effectively the process and help me through various decisions. I was happy with Mr. Schafer's counsel and would recommend him to a friend or colleague.
Brent Schafer represented me in my DUI case and did an excellent job. He explained my options in great detail and was very respectful to me in my pre-trial meetings even though I was extremely ashamed of my actions. I felt he was respectful to the Judge during my trial which led to a favorable outcome for me. I hope I never have to use a Lawyer again but if I do I will not hesitate to call Brent for his assistance.
Brent helped me out when I was in a jam. He was extremely professional and very competent,and most importantly, helped to get a very fair and acceptable resolution to my situation. It is always great to have a great lawyer in your corner when you need one. Brent is one of them.
I was in town on business when I got a DUI for just moving a coworkers car so we could get a taxi back to the hotel. Living out of state in South Carolina this created quite a mess for me to deal with and understand. Brent was very good at taking me thru the steps that Minnesota required and calming me down to deal with the reality of the situation no matter how ridiculous I found it. Since I had a previous incident in another state this only added to the possible charges being brought against m
