Qualified attorneys who always come to your defense

The attorneys at our criminal defense practice take the time to get to know you and your personal circumstances. At a free initial consultation, we review the charges you are facing. No matter what those charges are, we see you as a real person, and treat you with the utmost respect at all times.

No matter which of our attorneys handles your case, you count on your rights being protected by a dedicated and skilled criminal defense lawyer who will not rest until you get the justice you deserve. We understand what’s at stake: we know that if you’re convicted of criminal charges, you face severe penalties, affecting the rest of your life. That’s why we are determined to achieve the very best outcome.

We handle cases differently here

This firm, and every lawyer in it, has an excellent reputation within the Northeast Florida legal community. We get to know you personally to best represent your case and circumstances within the system.

As soon as you hire Shafer Law, P.A., we immediately contact the prosecutor assigned to your case to develop a complete picture of your situation, not just what the police reported. We pass along information about your personal situation to portray you as a real person, not just another criminal file.

Additionally, we make every effort to accommodate your work schedule and family commitments. While your case is pending, we are available to meet with you at your convenience, usually scheduling appointments for the same day you call.

We intend to provide the best representation at a reasonable fee.

Flat fees with no hidden cost

Because each case is unique, our attorney fees are based on your particular circumstances. There is simply no “one-fee-fits-all” philosophy that is fair to clients. You are invited to our office to personally discuss your problem in detail and explain how important considerations — such as work, family, school, medical issues, etc. — will impact our handling of your case.

The flat fee we quote you in our meeting is based on our evaluation of the work to be done. We’ll tell you what you’re facing, explain the risks, and suggest some possible defenses. You will know the total cost of representation when you hire our firm. Flat fees protect you because you’re agreeing to the total cost of legal fees in advance. As a result, the risk that attorney fees can go higher and higher is eliminated. You do not have to worry about the cost of a phone call, document, or office visit. You have the peace of mind that everything is being taken care of, and we are looking out for your interests.
