A Firm Built on Trust,
One Relationship at a Time

The firm has grown through trusted relationships, client referrals, and steady legal guidance. Today, our attorneys bring approximately 200 combined years of experience practicing law to the clients we serve, helping them make informed decisions with clarity and confidence.
With offices in Meadville, Conneaut Lake, Titusville, and Erie, Shafer Law Firm offers the depth of an established regional practice with the personal attention of a community-focused firm.
Our History
Shafer Law Firm traces its roots to 1964, when Paul Thomas and Charles Swick joined with Raymond Shafer, Paul Shafer, Jr., and Robert Dornhaffer.
What began as a local practice has grown into one of Crawford County’s largest and most diverse law firms. While the firm has expanded, its foundation remains the same: trusted relationships, practical guidance, and service to the communities we call home.
How We Serve
Shafer Law Firm provides legal counsel across a broad range of personal, business, and community matters. Our attorneys work with clients of all sizes, from individuals and families to local businesses, municipalities, and larger regional companies.
Clients come to us for experience and capability. They stay because of the communication, responsiveness, and personal attention that guide our work. We are honored that this trust has been reflected in Shafer Law Firm being named ‘Best Law Firm’ for 10 consecutive years in the Meadville Tribune’s Readers Choice Awards, voted on by the very community we serve.
Community Commitment
Our connection to the region extends beyond legal representation. Shafer Law Firm attorneys and staff serve on nonprofit boards, volunteer with local organizations, support charitable causes, and provide pro bono legal services.
We believe strong communities are built through service, trust, and long-term commitment.
