I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Sarah Schaffer and her firm. My first priority was to find a mediation friendly lawyer that could be supportive of that process. Sarah listened, understood my needs, showed genuine care for my future and state of mind during a difficult time in life. She had good working relationships with the mediator and opposing counsel, working collaboratively and professionally to advance the process with my needs as her priority and was always well prepared. My second priority was to have a lawyer that could pivot from mediation to a strong litigator if needed. When the mediation process seemed to stall out and we began discussing a court strategy I had complete confidence in her. She was strategic, never hesitated to challenge an out of line demand or comment, and was always prepared to effectively support her stance. Luckily, she was able to get mediation back on track and see it through to a successful outcome. Thank you Sarah and team, your help and guidance was much appreciated.

Sarah Schaffer, is an unethical attorney in San Diego. I signed a legal services agreement on February 17, 2021 with my new attorney, and he did not submit the Substitution of Attorney until March 18, 2021 when he filed for a motion in court on my behalf. I cannot tell my attorney what to do. That was his decision to wait for a month to file. So, when we were in court, Sarah Schaffer as an opposing counsel verbally attacked me in the courtroom, saying that I intentionally ignored her and delayed the signing of the settlement. She was cruel and mean. Sarah Schaffer said in the front of judge that I fired 6 or 7 attorneys and made exaggerations about the facts. And plus if I fired an attorney, its my decision and none of Sarah Schaffer’s business. She made up stories and exaggerated, and damaged my reputation in front of the Judge and people in the courtroom. She has neither kindness or manners. Right after this review I'm going to straight to The Bar Association and file a complain.

Sarah Schaffer is the best. So too, are her staff. I had the opportunity to review my situation in 2017 by phone. No pressure to hire them. They were genuinely interested in me, my circumstances, and helping me understand what to expect. More a teaching moment for me and strategy session - not a sales session. I have returned to say "Thank You." Thank you for good legal counsel. Thank you for asking me to ask myself "is this what I want?" It wasn't. I never hired Sarah, but my marriage is back on course and a "divorce lawyer" was helpful for that rebirth. Bless you.

I met with several attorneys before finding Ms. Schaffer. Until my intake with Sarah, I felt as if I would never find the attorney who would actually hear me and genuinely care about the outcome of my case, much less represent us with the moral.and ethical standards that would garner my confidence and trust. Sarah is not only an extremely intelligent, competent and capable attorney but she's also a caring advocate. Ms. Schaffer's knowledge and expertise with military as well as civilian law and protocals has been invaluable in our case. Her office staff is wonderful and are always there when I need assistance. Each person on Ms. Schaffer's team is a reflection of Sarah's own attention to detail and professionalism. Inside the courtroom, Ms. Schaffer is intuitive, articulate unflappable and TOUGH. I always feel confident with Ms. Schaffer that nothing will ever happen inside the courtroom that she wouldn't be prepared to counter. She and her team fight for us in and out of court to make sure we are never left unprotected. I am grateful to have the Schaffer team in our corner!

So I met with Ms. Schaffer to ask some questions about my divorce. She was the most arrogant and rude person I have ever talked to in my life! I would not recommend this law firm. I had the worst experience dealing with this attorney. Incompetent. Unresponsive. Unprofessional. I rarely leave bad reviews but this one is a must. Don't let this woman waste your time or money.
