Chris was extremely knowledgable and helpful with my case. He was professional, confident, and very personable which helped us throughout the process. We were incredibly happy with the results.

Thanks to Chris, our case got resolved in a timely manner and great results. Chris was very responsive to answer all our questions and very informative on the next steps. I highly recommend him as a lawyer.

It is with great pleasure that I write this for Mr Schaefer and his capable people comprised of talent and empathy. I had a fear of Attorneys (due to my own weakness, no disrespect to the legal profession), but I felt pleasantly surprised after my visit to his firm located in the heart of Minneapolis - my home city that I am passionate about. Larry's office emblomized everything that I look for. The attorneys, the administrative staff, the decor, it all felt "happy" and "inter-connected". I had thought my case was too too hard to understand by others, however due to Larry's brilliance and savvy, it became evident to me that he understood it very well. He had a clear line of action and a resolve to seek justice with ethics. That was all that I desired. I hope Larry's office continues to serve the disability community, that it prospers, grows, and makes Minneapolis the best city in the world.

I am very thankful to Larry for helping me through a very difficult time of my life. My former employer discriminated against me and treated me very badly and I was forced to resign to end my struggle with this employer. I did not know what to do or who I can find to help me getting through this and restore my reputation and my employment. I met with several layers prior to my meeting with Larry and I can tell the difference immediately when I engaged with him. Larry told me what will happen in the first meeting and despite my process took several months, he was able to predict the successful outcome just through listening to me in that very first meeting. He has complete understanding of all employment related issues, he is focused and dedicated to help his clients getting back on track. His strategic thinking and the steps he made were the key to success. He also has a wonderful team that are just the right team to help. Quick response and timely feedback about what is going on with the case so you are always in the loop with the next step. Now I moved on to a new and a better employer and I feel I am beginning a new and a good chapter in my life, and I feel I can't thank Larry or his wonderful team enough for what they did to me and how they supported me to get through probably the worst chapter in my life. Thank you Larry

Larry truly went above and beyond. In each step of the case, he made sure I was aware of what was happening and the next steps. He called frequently, and followed my choices, making sure that I felt in control. I never felt like a victim, or less- he helped inspire me to fight for what I needed and deserved. If I had to go through it again, no questions asked, I would want Larry by my side every step of the way. His team is well organized, efficient, kind and discrete. I am forever grateful that Schaefer Halleen represented me, and I highly suggest them for any and all people who need empowering representation.

Excellent experience, outstanding staff, expedient, caring, respectful.

Mr.Chris represented me three felony case i was charged. It was my first serious criminal case and i really needed a good criminal attorney and not "public pretender". Chris took over my case a day before my omnibus hearing and i knew after my court hearing we would fight this and win. He was confident and reassured me every step along the way. I'm happy to say my case was dismissed after long fight both inside the court room and outside. My case was not unique, but it also needed understanding of my Somali culture and Chris knew that. Also, Chris was able to fully expunge my case in all public records and court records. If you're looking for a good attorney i would not hesitate a minute if you need a proper legal representation. Period.

Hands down, the best lawyer in the Twin Cities. You get what you paid for. Chris has all angles covered and takes time to speak with his clients.

The humanness and genuine care for their clients separates this firm from others and makes it best in class.

Larry and his team at Schaefer Halleen helped bring to resolution issues at the workplace in an amicable manner. When I first approached Larry, I was not even sure what steps to take, what to do, did not even know if I needed a lawyer, or why I needed a lawyer. All I knew was that friends and colleagues told me to reach out to a lawyer. And when I asked around, his name and his firm's name kept on being mentioned by many. And the reputation was well deserved. Larry patiently and deliberately listened to my story, and then explained to me exactly why I needed a lawyer, and how he could help me. Immediately he laid out the plan about how to proceed. Instantly I was put at ease. Throughout a very long process, he provided me advice and guidance and was always willing to talk to me on the phone, whenever there were either updates, or I had questions and concerns. I am absolutely certain that I would had not been able to reach the resolution without Larry's and his team's steadfast guidance, advice, and impressive work. I recommend Larry and his firm unconditionally - the very best in the field. John C. Styliaras MD,MS

Chris is a highly skilled criminal defense attorney. When defending my son, he went the extra mile to be accessible, was compassionate and understanding, and got good results. He clearly outlined alternatives and potential outcomes, and kept our son informed throughout the process so we never wondered what was happening. On top of all of that, Chris is a caring, nonjudgmental person who really cares about his clients and understands how much a criminal record can mess with future opportunities. Having absolute confidence in Chris took the edge off of a very stressful situation. If you or someone you care about is in need of a criminal defense attorney, I'd HIGHLY recommend Chris Keyser.
