My husband and I hired this firm in May 2024 to handle our bankruptcy. Despite multiple attempts to…read morefollow up, Peter Schaeffer had still not filed our petition as of March 2025. When we asked our paralegal, Bob, to speak with Schaeffer about the delay, we were told that the attorney does not speak to clients until the hearing, and there was no direct way to contact him. When we requested a refund of the $1950 we paid, we were denied and told we were only entitled to the $338 filing fee--yet, almost three weeks later, they still haven't sent that. We ultimately had to hire another attorney, who prepared our petition in just one week, and now we are forced to seek reimbursement through other means. Do not waste your time or money here--there are far more competent attorneys available.

Complete scam!!!!!…read more Maybe once they were a faithful law firm, but that ship has long sailed. The Dover office is CLOSED. When you call, you will leave a message. Nobody will answer the first time. Once they call you back "Mr. Schaeffer" will call you back very eager and explains everything as though the process will be a breeze, or possibly Barbara (who got very defensive when I asked of her credentials, and immediately transferred me to "Mr.Schaeffer" which went straight to voicemail.) The information that is provided is false for what you will experience once starting the process. Robert Reidhaar, Bob, was the person handling my case after payment was made. Which again was not communicated initially by "Mr. Schaeffer." Bob's responses to my emails when asking question was very vague and would not fully answer all questions. To the point I felt like I was harassing the office and had to cc "Mr. Schaeffer" to get more clear information. They ask for an abundance of documents, which after doing further research, is not typically required in my case. You have to pay an additional fee for a course, which again was not communized in the beginning. This made me then begin looking further into the company. The link to the website from Google is not listed as a safe website, the address listed are two different law firm names. The credit reporting company that they used has history of being a scam as well, and I could go on but won't for legal purposes. After bringing these few things to the attention of Bob and "Mr.Schaeffer" via email, I was called by Bob. I explained my case and he ensured that I would be called my "Mr.Schaeffer." Immediately after ending the phone call I was sent an email from Bob that they will be refunding my money via check due to my claims of it being a scam and have yet to be contacted from "Mr. Schaeffer" via phone, only email. (And they still won't answer my question if it's a scam or not) He ensured that the check is already in the mail. I will be sure to update this review if I actually receive the check but DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY.

David Bever will nickel and dime you for every little thing that most lawyers don't and when you get the bill you cant figure out what the hell he did that was so costly. He also seems to get annoyed when you ask questions that you should already have the answer to but don't because of the lack of communication and on top of it they have no clue what is going on with your case.
