Child Abuse
Unfortunately, child abuse and sexual assault have become an epidemic in the United States. There are more than 320,000 cases of sexual assault each year, with most of the victims being children. Many cases of sexual abuse are never reported to authorities, and others, for a variety of reasons, are reported many years after the incidents. Often, children avoid telling of the abuse until they are adults because they are afraid of the dramatic consequences that follow – from authorities, their abusers – and a whole host of other negative consequences.

DUI/DWI
Andrew also served as an Assistant District Attorney with the District Attorney’s Office of Philadelphia. During this service to the public, he prosecuted over 500 adult and juvenile offenders on charges including attempted murder, robbery, burglary, sexual assault, violations of the Uniform Firearms Act, possession of controlled substances with the intent to distribute, DUI and numerous other offenses. He served as the lead prosecutor in over 250 jury and bench trials before judges in both the municipal court and the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas. He argued motions to suppress evidence, motions to suppress statements made by defendants, motions to quash the charges filed against the defendant, motions to revoke the bail of the defendant, summary judgment motions, motions for judgment of acquittal and motions for post-judgment relief. He wrote briefs and memos based on case law to argue for the guilt of the defendant as well as enhanced penalties at sentencing. He prepped detectives, state troopers, police officers and civilians as young as ten-years-old to testify in court.
Wrongful Death
Since 1990, Mr. Shaffer has dedicated his practice to representing individuals who have been injured both on and off the job representing many families for wrongful death, and individuals who have suffered severe vehicle accidents; traumatic brain injuries; severe burns; paralysis; and other types of catastrophic and career-ending injuries.
Traffic Violations
Sex Crimes
Victims of physical assault and sexual assault have legal rights in the criminal justice system as well as the civil justice system. The criminal justice system is used to punish the perpetrator of the crime and charges are usually filed by the local prosecutor. However, in the civil justice system, our firm acts as YOUR advocate to get you justice for the harms your cild or you suffered, usually through financial compensation.

Business and Corporate Law

Business Formation
Business Transactions
Limited Liability Companies
We will take the time to learn as much as we can about your prospective business enterprise, and will carefully explain the different types of legal forms, as well as their benefits and disadvantages. Once you have determined which type of structure is best suited to your needs, we will prepare and execute all documents necessary to set your business up in compliance with Pennsylvania or New Jersey law. We handle all types of business forms, from partnerships to limited liability companies or corporations.
Unfair Competition
We represent businesses and business owners as plaintiffs or defendants in commercial disputes, including actions involving allegations of breach of contract and unfair competition. We also handle employment and ownership disputes.

Employment Contract
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.
Employment Litigation
In his commercial practice, Mr. Gaier represents businesses in a variety of ways, including transactional work (formation, by-laws, drafting agreements, etc.) to litigation (shareholder suits, trademark infringement, franchisee violations, etc.). He has represented businesses in the Southeastern Pennsylvania and Southern New Jersey area in federal and state courts, and has also counseled businesses on their expansion, reduction, new markets and employment issues of all kinds.

Premises Liability
Mr. Shaffer has tried cases resulting in jury verdicts involving construction negligence, product liability, automobile and truck collisions and premises liability. He has handled all types of tort liability cases, including medical malpractice, defective medical devices and toxic substances.
Real Estate Transactions
Because real estate transactions involve many complicated and detailed documents, it is not unusual to discover irregularities in paperwork. When appropriate, we will use the errors in your original documentation as a basis for seeking to dismiss the foreclosure action.

Personal Injury
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.
Medical Malpractice
Prior to joining Shaffer & Gaier, Andrew worked at one of the leading plaintiff firms in the city of Philadelphia, focusing his practice on representing individuals in medical malpractice actions. He sued negligent doctors and hospitals on behalf of patients, their families or estates in matters ranging from careless laparoscopic cholecystectomy procedures, to misdiagnosing cancerous tumors, and off-label uses of medication leading to intracranial hemorrhaging. He has argued on behalf of his clients in numerous counties throughout Pennsylvania, New Jersey and in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. He has deposed gastroenterologists, interventional radiologists, surgeons, and nurse practitioners, among other medical professionals, and he has effectively incorporated the use of medical expert witnesses to hold doctors and hospitals accountable for negligent actions.

Foreclosure
After Shaffer & Gaier reviewed the loan documents, the clients elected to fight and litigate the foreclosure action against the lender who took advantage of their father. Soon after the bank filed a foreclosure action against the father’s estate (i.e., the son and daughter), Shaffer & Gaier filed a counterclaim right back against the bank seeking money damages for the fraud inflicted upon their father and entire family. After discovery was exchanged between the parties, a confidential settlement was reached in April, 2012 which not only included cash and reduction of the loan balance, but more importantly, our clients were given the right to purchase the home at a reduced value and at current low interest rates.
