This guy and his wife are registered attorneys in Illinois and supposedly have taken an "oath" to be able to work as legal representatives for the people, however that is truly a joke, and here's why: after my 90 + year old mother began showing some signs of dementia and wanted my assistance to help her with bill paying and driving , I decided to go legal and obtain a "POA"/power of attorney free of charge thru the local senior citizen center and when the papers were all drafted and ready to sign, my sister intercepted it and took my mother to attorney Schafer's office to complain about it and another issue about funds being moved into another bank account. Now 5 years later and numerous court appearances in a fruitless attempt to be mother's POA or guardian, I failed, and my mother is now maybe $20-30 grand short of what she would have had if my manipulative sister would not have poked her nose into those affairs. The attorney interfered with the legal process for the proposed POA and then began Guardianship procedures to have my sister be the representative of Mom's estate. The old saying: " no good deed goes unpunished" is what happens all the time unfortunately and holds true! Never trust family, or attorneys that claim to "help" people in need, they only help themselves @ $250 per hour or more. My lazy disabled sister now placed Mom into a memory care facility @ $4000/mo which is 3 X's the income from SS benefits Mom receives, the money is almost all gone and they want Medicaid to take over expenses then Mom's home after death will be theirs! Now this is how the legal system and our nice culture works folks, don't be fooled into thinking the legal representatives are there to benefit common folk, they aren't many times. I rate these attorneys at less then one, maybe a" -10" and they need to be investigated and bared from working as lawyers. As for my sister, the 15 years plus taking fda pain meds have really done a trick on her mind! read more

It is truly a blessing to work with a firm that has a knowledgeable staff, and an attorney who care so much. It takes a lot of heart and strength of character to take on family cases. This is especially true when emotions are running high and there appears to be no end in sight. Thank you all for taking the time to hold hands, validate feelings and work tirelessly in an effort to facilitate an outcome for clients that they can understand and work within while starting a new phase of life. read more
