Helping You In Your Time Of Need

If you or a loved one has suffered a serious injury due to someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing, you may be up against a powerful business or large corporation that wants to minimize or completely deny your rightful compensation for medical expenses and other losses. At Shaffer Law, we have earned a reputation as one California’s leading personal injury law firms. That means we take on the insurance companies and big corporations so that our clients can get the compensation they need to move forward. Because we are selective about the cases we take, we are able to devote our total attention to helping our clients in their time of need.
