Daniel kept us well informed and made communication incredibly easy. He got the best possible outcome in my case, and made a difficult situation more comfortable..
Thank you sir! Hope you are well.
Not recommended. Never called back! UPDATE: I called on Dec 11gh 2025 and talked with Mr Shaffer. He said he would need to check into a few things and call me back. And to email him the information on the event, which I did. Send 2 follow up emails, saying I wanted to move forward. Never heard a word. You are probably correct, you missed me because of the holidays. Or some other strange things like LIFE. Which is what happened to me when I needed a lawyer. I do have the email Mr Shaffer sent in my records! And the call record of Dec 16th 2026 at 8:56 AM We spoke for 11.6 minutes PS You are again correct stating "Not a client" I wanted to be.... But you never called me back...
Lucky: Sorry we missed each other. We dont have a record of you as a client or a call from you. Perhaps we missed it over the holidays or not. Best of luck.
Dan has been available quickly from the start, and he’s given me nothing but great advice. I highly recommend him.
Thank you Lauren!

I'm sorry Nakita but we cannot locate a record of your contact with our office.
Attorney Dan Shaffer and his team are truly amazing! They patiently walked me through the process, answered all my questions and kept me informed at all times. I can’t thank them enough for all their hard work and dedication. I’m beyond content with the outcome of my difficult case. 100% recommend this firm!
Dan was great, always very straightforward and easy to reach. Quick to provide me with updates, and walk me through the legal process in a way that I could understand things clearly. I highly recommend Dan as a lawyer, and the law office as a whole to anybody who is in need of legal help of any sort.
Daniel was great! He helped our son son through a confusing legal process. It was very reassuring to have his expertise to rely on. I would highly recommend his practice.
Thank you!
HANDS DOWN the best Defense Attorney from here to Illinois 😊 Also Amazing Staff. They helped my Husband through some very hard times & I am forever grateful!
I was in need of a Defense Attorney and after several people referred me to Daniel Shaffer & after seeing other attorneys all of who seemed too busy to listen to my situation I went and met with Mr Shaffer for my Free consultation. After the first meeting there was no doubt he was who I wanted to represent me in my case that had turned from a Division of Wildlife hunting offense to 3 criminal charges brought on by a District Attorney. I appeared without a Lawyer at my first hearing and got off on the wrong foot with both the Judge & the DA. So Mr Shaffer who could have appeared by webex at my next hearing chose to drive 3 hrs to stand by me for my next hearing & got everything straightened up between myself, the DA & the Judge. We thought my case would go to Jury Trial and Mr. Shaffer and his Team built a great case to defend me. The DA a week from my Jury Trial offered a lousy deal and that’s when Mr Shaffer went to work on him and in a matter of a few days of Shaffer negotiating with the DA he got me a deal I could not turn down so I pleaded guilty to a much lesser charge. The offer went from jail time, 3-5 years probation & losing my hunting rights to 12 months unsupervised probation, a little community service, & a small fine. At my sentencing hearing Mr Shaffer again, could have appeared by WebEx but he chose to take the drive and stand by my side for sentencing. At the sentencing hearing the Judge asked for little details about my case before she would agree to the deal by the DA and Mr Shaffer made a statement on my behalf and said everything that I had been saying to him so that told me that he was listening the entire time and I felt like I was finally heard in the 2 years since the case began. My entire family is grateful to Mr Shaffer and his team and we all would recommend him for any defense case! He’s the best defense Attorney in Colorado!
Front desk is not even the slightest bit helpful and are rude, it's impossible to get answers for ANYTHING and not once did I ever hear from this lawyer who wants to call me in on a case I have nothing to do with..
Ms. Spears, you're not a client. You're an adverse witness subpoenaed to testify at a trial. As such there are ethical concerns with speaking with you. We will speak with you at trial.
