    Mr. Schaffer is a good man and even better criminal defense attorney. He’s one of the last remaining greats from the Golden Era of Texas/Federal criminal defense (Haynes/Foreman/DeGuerin(s)/Ramsey).

    I would strongly encourage anyone considering James Kennedy for legal representation to carefully evaluate their options. In my personal experience, I invested a significant amount of money and rarely received returned calls or timely communication. It was extremely frustrating to feel left in the dark during such an important and stressful situation. What was even more disappointing is that, after assuring me he could handle my case, he referred me to another attorney once legal responses were needed. This forced me to hire that attorney separately and pay an additional fee — something I never expected after already committing so much. Overall, I personally left the experience feeling misled and deeply dissatisfied, and I would advise others to approach with caution. In my opinion, the value I received for what I paid was extremely poor, and the entire situation felt more like a referral than genuine representation.

    I can't tell you how professional the law firm of Schaffer, Kennedy & Johnson treated my case in Jackson County with outstanding results on my plea. The moment I met them my case got momentum and attention from the authorities. James Kennedy is probably the best criminal defense attorney on this planet earth evidently has great support from his colleagues and son! Thanks gentlemen appreciate your time concern and results!

    I hired James Kennedy to represent my husband in a criminal case, and I’m so grateful that we chose him. From day one, he was honest, straightforward, and never sugar-coated anything. I really appreciated that — he told us exactly what to expect and always kept us informed every step of the way. Mr. Kennedy was incredibly responsive and easy to reach whenever I had questions or concerns. He took the time to explain everything in a way I could understand and always made me feel like our case truly mattered to him. He worked so hard for us, and in the end, he got us the results we were hoping for. I also want to mention how welcoming and professional his staff are. Everyone at the firm was so kind and respectful. The office itself is clean, comfortable, and has such a calm atmosphere — it really helped put me at ease during a very stressful time. I can’t thank Mr. Kennedy and his team enough for their hard work, honesty, and compassion. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs help with a criminal case — you’ll be in good hands.
