Jill is the best, most affordable lawyer I have ever come across. Her in depth knowledge of the legal system helps her clients get the best possible outcome. She works so hard on every single case. She is the only attorney I will ever use from here on out and I am so thankful I found her! There was quite a bit of time that was on the table and she was able to obtain a sentence nothing short of a miracle. You won't regret choosing her.

Jill is a very knowledgeable, professional attorney. She won my case! I highly recommend her for any criminal defense.
Jill Schaefer worked tirelessly to get me out of a bind. I'd recommend her for anyone's legal issues.

Jill has all of the qualities you want in a criminal defense attorney - (1) she's smart and knowledgeable about her field, (2) she's experienced and well-respected, especially in St. Louis and St. Charles Counties, and (3) she won't stop fighting and won't take "no" for an answer. When you hire her, you know - and the other side knows, too - that you've hired someone who will sink her teeth into the case, and won't let go until she's gotten you the best possible outcome she can get you, whether that's (and I've seen her do all of these) getting for a better plea deal than you thought was possible, or getting you into a diversion program despite the prosecutor initially refusing to agree to it, or, after months of work, finally convincing the prosecutor to drop the case or lower a felony to a misdemeanor, or even taking it all the way to trial and not giving up the fight until well after the jury goes home.
Attorneys who represent criminal defendants have to have good working relationships and reputations among judges and prosecutors to get them to listen to you, but it's also important that they know, for sure, that she'll keep fighting even after they turn her down. Those are some of Jill's greatest strengths. People take her seriously, and they take her clients' needs seriously, because of her relationships, strong reputation, and demonstrated willingness to be a pain in their necks if she has to be. When you hire her, you know she'll fight for you, and you know, when she recommends you take a plea deal or go to trial, she's giving you the best possible options, never just backing down to avoid a fight or to keep from having to do the work.
As a fellow attorney who's seen Jill in action, I can say with absolute certainty that, if - god forbid - I or a family member were ever wrongly accused of a crime, she'd be my first phone call.
