I had a very bad experience being represented by Chris Schiffmann. He made all kinds of promises at our initial meeting that he ultimately didn't deliver on and at the end threw me under the bus as I did not have a favourable outcome with him. Watch out for this as you've been warned. He also overcharged my account at the end by $500.00 after which I found out from having an official independent valuator look at the actual work he did and this amount did in fact get reduced! He's also conveniently "at court" when you need to get a hold of him and if he doesn't want to talk to you when you have

I participated in the Sober Ride Home program and Schiffmann Injury Lawyer came through with their promise to reimburse me for my ride. I am very impressed with their commitment and prompt reimbursement program. This goes to show how they would operate if I were to use them for their services, which I will definitely be doing so in the future.

Chris and his team are a complete class operation, top to bottom. I've been fortunate enough to experience this, through professionalism dealing with extremely complicated situations, all the way to the sober ride home program. Cheers to the Schiffmann Law family.
