Mr.schaffer is a great lawyer I would recommend him to anyone

David did his job and was very honest and upfront about billing.

As a forensic psychologist, I have consulted with David Schaffer on a number of cases. He has always used forensic services competently and effectively in aiding his clients. David always asks the right questions to get the right answers.

The first time I met this man I knew that my case will be settled in my favor. He actually cares about his clients and he has the best advice to give too. My case has not even started yet but I am already feeling victorious. I will recommend him to anyone who need a thorough and a professional legal representation.

My husband and I sought out Mr. Schaffer's services to help us with a custody case for our daughter's children in Switzerland. He provided excellent legal advice, and was instrumental in helping us seek out the right legal counsel in Switzerland. We are very thankful we found him.

My case was a very complicated one in which it required overseas communications, so to find a lawyer with the expertise and finesse that David posses is rare. I should say that I had previously ended with my previous representation abruptly when they were unable to move forward with the case due to lack of experience so I was incredibly stressed and concerned to find the right fit for me. I interviewed a number of lawyers and then I met David. He was warm and friendly when I met with him and made me realize that my case isn't just a paycheck for him unlike my previous representation. He sat down with me and walked me through my options. Lindsey who partners with David is also just as great. Very timely with communication and extremely timely with communication.

David was an easy choice to make and with his vast knowledge of the court system, not just based in Chicago, but overseas also, he resolved my case in 3 months which previous representation took close to five years. If you are looking for a lawyer who doesn't just known the law but will actually talk to you like a person and walk through everything, David is your man. I couldn't be happier with his performance and I will forever be grateful to he and his staff. Thank you!

I have known Attorney Schaffer for years, having working with him on cases and having co-chaired a number of family law seminars with him. David is one of the finest lawyers in Illinois and a lawyer who puts his heart and soul into his tireless representation on behalf of of his clients.

Mr. Schaffer is a highly respected divorce lawyer and has devoted his life to that area of the the law.

Knowledgeable, prompt, and profesional

We are so happy to have hired David for our case. He is honest and knowledgeable in family law. I would recommend him to anyone that is looking for a family law lawyer. Don't waste your time with anyone else.

David is the best lawyer to have on your side. He is honest, straightforward and aggressive in the courtroom. He is not afraid to fight for your rights, especially in regards to fathers rights. My husband and I are very pleased with his services. We always know that David will come through at anytime. His office staff members are thorough in regards to paperwork, and genuinely cares about your concerns. David and his team is great to have on your side.

Court and laws are not my specialty so I checked with a few Attorneys and connected with David Schaffer at Schaffer Family Law, Ltd. He and his staff are amazing. As I was very stressed with the circumstance, he and his the staff made me feel at home. With my Ex drawing things out it seemed like a very long process. Mr. Schaffer was able to help with getting my mind off of the bad and made me feel better. On the final Court hearing my Ex tried to change things up, however Mr. Shaffer had made some stipulations at the beginning of this mess and was able to stop this last minute change.

In the past 2 years David and I have stayed in touch and I would consider him a good friend as well as a Great Attorney. He has won many awards for his service over the years.

I would recommend him for any Family type Law.

My experience with Mr. Schaffer ,
Has been great .
There are times when a client has to be patient and let there attorney do there work .Again the process of family law court is not quick and swift .
It takes time and understanding that your attorney has other clients to take care of as well .
Schafffer ,has a great sense of humor he understands his clients and is straight forward with answering your questions and concerns .
In the courtroom he will fight for your rights.
Again my experience has been great having Schaffer as my legal counsel in family law .
Those who are seeking an attorney that will be honest and straight forward and fight for your rights .I recommend Schaffer family law .

My experience with David has been completely opposite of below reviewer and I’m very surprised to read the negative comments. It doesn’t sound like we were represented by the same attorney...
David represented me in a very involved and lengthy divorce case that lasted a year and a half. From the first meeting, David showed his passion for my case and continued to stay involved and personally committed throughout the proceedings. He could’ve taken most other attorneys approach by simply doing “the norm”, but he didn’t and he went full press to make sure my needs were met and justice was served. He fought hard on my behalf, listened to my concerns and didn’t waste any time. David is very diverse in marital law and he will make sure all options are looked at. If you’re looking for an aggressive attorney that will fight for you, David is definitely your guy!

David Shaffer is an idiot.. This guy says he's been in the law for 20 years I have no clue where he got his bar, back of a cereal box? He absolutely does not try what so ever, he didn't even know who I was when I showed up in court. Let alone watching him in front of the judge and having the judge laugh at your lawyer is not a good sign. In the end he took my 5k retainer and resign from representing me.
