David Borah

Gil was a great asset to my case. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and an expert negotiator. Gil made an extreme effort to meet with all relevant parties on my case and was able to get all parties to agree to a satisfactory resolution. I'm confident that my case was handled with great care and my outcome was more than I expected when we first retained Gilbert. I continue to consult with Gilbert and his team when I have legal questions or need advise or recommendations. Awesome Lawyer!

I have my life back because of the dedication and impressive skills of Mr. Schaffnit and his team! Not only did they get me an impossible outcome that will make you believe in a higher power but they also made sure that me, as a human being, was OK. They quelled my fears with compassion and truth. They took every phone call and answered every question. They left no stone unturned in their quest for my vindication. I have to admit. I had a bit of a smug smile on my face when I witnessed Mr. Schaffnit's eloquence and grace while he spoke in the courtroom. It was obvious he was a cut above the rest. I just kept thinking how grateful I was to have him as my lawyer. I knew my life was in good hands. The proof is in the pudding. I'm writing this review from the comfort of my living room by the grace of God and by the commitment to excellence by the team at the Law Office of Gilbert A. Schaffnit. From the bottom of my heart. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!

Called this office after being referred by the FAC. I was pretty upset because my husband had been accused of something falsely and we needed respresentation at his first appearance the next morning. The receptionist, Jessica, was helpful but made it sound like she couldt help me until after he went in front of the judge. This didnt sound right to me, so I found another attorney to give my money to that would show up to represent us at the first appearace. THANKFULLY, the lawyer got my husband a very inexpensive bond, because everyone else without an attorney got a 25-50k bond for the same charge. Was VERY disappointed that this office was not willing to help us, but at the end of the day i'm probably lucky because they didnt seem like they would go above and beyond to be there for us like I needed.
