hi andrew did an excellent job of minimizing attorney fees and grief to my company and staff, by quickly settling a nuisance case; his fees were miminal as he works so fast and efficiently. really great to find an old fashion attorney, who was more interested in helping his client get out of a jam, rather than see the client as a source of revenue.

MR Shafer has done work for me spanning several years and multiple plaintiffs. His efforts are thorough and professional. Additionally, his communication is clear and concise.

Andrew was fantastic to work with! We had a large receivable that our customer was refusing to pay for. Andrew dealt with the situation firmly and with resolve and worked out a deal where we got paid everything we were owed and even kept the customer! I cannot recommend Andrew highly enough!

I worked with Mr. Shafer as co-counsel on a case involving multi-million dollar exposure for our collective clients. I was extremely impressed with his legal arguments, work product, and work ethic. In the end all of our clients were dismissed from the case on motions practice due in no small part to the legal skills Mr. Shafer brought to the table.

Andrew has done work for me on several projects including start-ups, mergers and acquisitions over the last 15 years. He possess all the qualities one would want in your legal advisor and counsel, knowledge, responsiveness and trustworthiness.

Andrew helped our small publicly traded company with numerous complex transactions as well as day to day corporate house-keeping. He is a knowledgeable professional with the ability to draw on the right resources when necessary.

Andy has been my Business Attorney since 1993. During this period I have owned 27 Businesses and done 21 Start-ups. He has helped me through: -3 Trucking Companies -Clothing Line and Clothing Manufacturer -13 Restaurants -Minor League Baseball Team - In Canada -Advertising Company- Start-up -Arco Station, am/pm C-Store- The Development of the Building and Business -Fuel Company- Global Advanced Fuels -Business Brokerage- Car Wash Brokers -Distressed Real Estate Company -Acquisition Company - Transcapital Investments - 2 Sports related Businesses -Part owner in a Sports Agency. Sports Acquisition Company in California These are just the ones we started or purchased. There are dozens more that we looked at and did due diligence together that we did not purchase for one reason or another. Example, a Regional Trucking Company in Florida that had 300 Tractors and 350 Trailers and two Terminals. We worked on that deal for almost one year. Andy handling all of the contracts and most of the due diligence, and acting as our adviser every step of the way. Then there is Major League Baseball, we are on our 7th campaign to purchase a MLB Team. Andy has been indispensable in the work of negotiating and creating contracts on our attempts to pull together the right Investors and to negotiate a deal with the Sellers. Starting 8 years ago with the Orioles, then -The Rangers- we were the first group to Offer on the Team, Andy handled the contracts and advised very closely. -Astros - We were part of Harvey Schiller's Group and we had a signed deal -Padres -Part of Jeff Moorad's Group -Dodgers - Andy connected us contractually to the Gold/Disney Group and handled all of the negotiations between their attorney and got it done in 2 days. Fantastic job! He wrote up the first 2 Offers made on the Dodgers -Padres 2- We were part of Gary Jabara's Group, again Andy handled our contractual negotiations and advised our Management Group very closely. -Now we are working on an inside opportunity to purchase a Team and 271 acres. Andy has been my right arm for 23 years. I rely on him to do analysis of what we are doing and how we are doing it. He is involved in every aspect as my coach on how we should start or purchase a business and how to handle all the hurdles that come up along the way. Andy is more than an attorney to me, he is a major part of our management team. I am an Operator who is also a Business Broker. So when I am not Buying and Selling Businesses for my clients, I am doing it for myself. I have over 400 hard copy files on businesses, that we have Listed and/or sold, some of them more than once. Andy has been my adviser through all of it. Many times I have had a client in front of me with a question that we could not figure out. So, I would call Andy and put him on the speaker phone to help us. He has handled most of our Entities and also written the Operating Agreements. Andy is very knowledgeable as an attorney and a business consultant. He also knows Bankruptcy very well, and has advised me on many opportunities that either my client or I were looking at purchasing. I trust Andy's judgement and have lived by it for the last 23 years. He understands when there is a sense of urgency and gets it done, example: putting us together with the Gold/Disney Group, he worked with their attorney day and night and had everything done in 2 days. Andy is like family to me, amazing how lucky I got calling him in 1993 as a reference from the National Trucking Association. I think anyone would be lucky to have Andy as part of their Team.

Andrew Shafer has done contractual work for me in addition to handling several cases for litigation on several occasions. Andrew is the top in his field, especially with regard to transportation contracts as far as I am concerned. I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing very competent and capable counsel.

I have had the pleasure of working with Andrew on a number of matters. Andrew is a leader in the industry of defending collection agencies against predatory plaintiff firms. Andrew is most knowledgeable in consumer law and has innovative insights to defeat plaintiff's claims. Andrew is both a superior litigator and counselor.

Andy is very attentive to his client's needs and knowledgeable about the subject matter of the litigation. Andy has obtained favorable results for our organization for many years. He is a no nonsense, sharp, strong advocate for our organization. I highly recommend his services.

Andy Shafer has been my attorney for about 20 years and I like a lot of things about working with him. He is sensitive to the economics of every situation. He is always looking for the most economical outcome which includes keeping his fee low. There is no wasted money with Andy. Andy has a tremendous amount of honor and integrity. He is as tough as any attorney when necessary, but always takes the high road. As a client, it is always reassuring to know this. Opposing counsel sometimes find it frustrating to have one less way to go at him. Andy is also very smart. He has handled every situation with a keen legal intellect. He represented me on a case in federal court in Portland to a very successful conclusion and sizeable award. I found out later from one of the plaintiff's representatives that they knew they were sunk after Andy's first appearance in front of the judge. Andy is the attorney you want next to you. He is also the one that the other side wishes was next to them.

ANDREW HAS BEEN WORKING WITH MY COMPANIES FOR THE PAST TEN YEARS. HE HAS DONE AN EXCELLENT JOB ON EACH PROJECT. WE HAVE PURCHASED COMPANIES, COLLECTED FUNDS, DEFENDED MULTI IMPROPER ACTIONS AND INQUIRIES, SUCCESSFULLY DEALT WITH PUBLIC UTILITIES AND GOVERNMENT OFFICES, FORMED PARTNERSHIPS, AND MUCH MUCH MORE. HIS FEES ARE QUITE REASONABLE. ALWAYS CALLS BACK QUICKLY.
