Shafer has practiced since 1996 and represents clients in matters that can involve divorce, custody, support, family disputes, and injury claims.

Shafer graduated from Indiana University in 1993 and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. Shafer earned a law degree from The Ohio State University in 1996 and participated in the Ohio State Law Journal. This academic training was followed by work in private practice and judicial service, giving her experience with legal research, written advocacy, civil procedure, and the decision-making process courts use when resolving disputed facts and legal claims.

Before focusing on the current practice, Shafer worked with a regional firm on civil litigation, banking, and commercial matters and later handled insurance-defense work. She also served as a municipal court judge. These roles add perspective from both advocacy and adjudication to family and personal injury cases. The work today involves helping clients organize the facts, understand court procedures, evaluate settlement possibilities, and prepare for hearings or trial when disputes remain contested.
