EXPERIENCE
Todd Schafer is recognized as one of the best trial lawyers of his generation. As the son of founding partner Timothy Schafer, Todd was immersed in the courtroom at an early stage of his career and was given an opportunity to try many cases at a young age. Demonstrating exceptional skill and tenacity, he quickly earned a reputation for winning challenging cases and achieving remarkable results, even in conservative jurisdictions.
At just 30 years old, Todd secured a landmark $32.5 million verdict for a young mother who sustained brain damage in a collision involving a semi-truck. This achievement is believed to make him the youngest attorney in the country to serve as lead counsel in a case resulting in a verdict of $30 million or more. Since then, Todd has continued to achieve record-breaking results, earning a spot on the list of the nation’s Top 100 Jury Verdicts an impressive three times.
Todd is proudly a member of the prestigious Inner Circle of Advocates, an exclusive invitation-only organization of the top 100 trial lawyers in the United States. Todd was asked to join the Inner Circle at just 39 years old, making him one of the youngest attorneys to ever be invited to join this elite group.
Todd Schafer’s record of success reflects not only his exceptional legal expertise but also his unwavering dedication to achieving justice for his clients.
