Testimonials
“My son would likely not have gotten parole without Ms. Schaefer's help. She handled everything — the follow-up, the phone calls and the appearance before the parole board. She was always there for us 100 percent. On a scale of 1 to 10, she's a 10.”
“She's the best at writing sentencing memorandum, has credibility with the courts, the keys to the gatekeepers, and is known by the thorough and complete effort she puts into her work.”
“In my cases, she has been able to streamline services for psychologically impaired clients and obtain ongoing information from the parole board during long commutation proceedings. Her services are truly invaluable.”
“Nobody has more insight into the Michigan Department of Corrections than Kathleen Schaefer. Ms. Schaefer helped me get ready for the parole hearing and also spoke on my behalf. I was afraid of getting turned down, that I would spend my best adult years in prison, but I was able to get a parole at my first attempt.”
“I would highly recommend Ms. Schaefer to any defendant who wants to thoroughly and accurately present their case to the sentencing judge in a compelling way. She has a wealth of information and her contacts in the various probation departments is invaluable and critical to a successful outcome.”
“Ms. Schaefer provided me with excellent insight into the parole process and was instrumental in the timely release of my client. ”
“We needed help getting ready for the parole board interview. Ms. Schaefer prepared us on what to expect (and) helped us prepare a professional parole packet that included letters of support, a letter from a prospective employer, and a commitment to a home placement with us. I couldn’t have done it without her. She was my rock.”
“I would highly recommend Kathleen Schaefer for any work with a client in relation to parole matters. Her experience with the parole board and her background and qualifications make her better suited than even skilled and experienced attorneys to handle these issues in a way that would be best for virtually any criminal defense client. I don't think my client would have been granted parole without her efforts.”
