At the law firm of Shaffer & Gaier, we offer decades of legal experience to individuals and businesses in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. In our years in practice, we have helped hundreds of clients, handling matters large and small. Although, we have represented clients for decades, we realize that the most important case to you is your own. Therefore, we provide thorough individual attention to every case — large or small. We know that the details of your situation are unique. Nonetheless, our commitment to you remains the same — we will aggressively seek the best possible result for you, in a timely and cost-effective manner. For the benefit of our personal injury clients, we keep a registered nursing professional on our staff so that we can fully evaluate your medical concerns and understand what you need to maximize your recovery. We have longstanding relationships with expert witnesses, and will bring in accident reconstruction specialists, medical professionals and others to present the most compelling case for your full financial recovery.

An Overview of Our Practice

We provide comprehensive counsel to individuals and businesses, handling matters involving:

Personal injury

We focus our personal injury practice on the needs of injured people, handling a wide range of injury claims, including those involving motor vehicle accidents, as well as construction site accidents and premises liability cases. We litigate product liability claims involving household items and consumer products, as well as cases involving dangerous or defective motor vehicle components. Our attorneys also handle medical malpractice actions involving misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose, anesthesia errors and birth injuries.

Foreclosure defense

We will help you understand why you should hire a foreclosure defense attorney and what a foreclosure lawyer can do to help you. Our attorneys protect the rights of homeowners who have been victims of predatory lending practices, including individuals who have mortgages that are underwater. We will always aggressively assert your rights against foreclosure, and will help you explore alternatives, such as mortgage modification [Link to Practice Page], to avoid foreclosure. In our opinion, it is never too late to fight foreclosure.

Children Abuse and Sexual Abuse

We represent children and their families who are injured at school or other institutions which are supposed to care for these vulnerable youths. Instead, these school and other agencies will often psychically or sexually abuse these children. We also represent special needs children who are physically or sexually assaulted by other special needs children. We have a team of experts who will determine the institution’s failures as well as child psychologists and psychiatrists that help us assess the damage done to your child.

Business issues

We advise businesses and business owners on matters related to business formation, preparing and filing all necessary documents to set up your enterprise. We will help you negotiate and execute contracts that protect your business, including vendor, customer, licensing and employment agreements. We also represent businesses and business owners as plaintiffs or defendants in litigation, such as cases involving breach of contract, unfair competition and ownership disputes.
