Joseph S. Schaefer, P.C.

Lauren Harpold, it's not often I have spoke to an attorney that is this knowledgeable and has morals. Lauren in my opinion is very honest and trustworthy. I had a consultation with her and I wanted to hire her but she advised me why I shouldn't at this point. Other attorneys I've met would have just said sign here and here is your invoice. She thankfully is not like that at all. She has given me some faith back in attorneys. If you want a good honest and affordable attorney then just stop looking, you found her. She didn't sugar coat things but she was also not cruel. Just very honest and that rarely happens. Thank you Lauren.

Paula Schaefer is an outstanding family law attorney. Not only is her technical knowledge top-notch, she has the demeanor and temperament needed to be an outstanding family law attorney. I got married in 2023 and two weeks before my wedding my wife and I decided to get a prenup (2nd marriage for us both). We were under the gun to get it completed prior to the wedding. Paula worked with us, fit us into her schedule and was amazing to work with. If you need a family law attorney in Indiana, you cannot do any better than Paula Schaefer, her attorneys, and staff.

I had a positive experience with Ruppert & Schaefer from the very beginning. The firm handled my initial phone call with more compassion and helpfulness than other law firms I called. Lauren is an amazing lawyer! I highly recommend her for your family law/divorce needs. She is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, direct, and worked at my speed. I have nothing but good things to say about Lauren and her team. I am so thankful that I found them and hired them.

Lauren Harpold did a phenomenal job of representing me in my appeal. I am very grateful for her expertise and help in something that to me seemed so difficult and frustrating to have to be a part of already, so having someone incredibly knowledgeable like her was such a blessing to me during such a frustrating time. It also helped that I won my appeal! I would recommend her to anyone else going through the unfortunate process of an appeal.

Paula Schaefer has represented me for 22 years and I am grateful for 22 years of peace of mind. When I needed an attorney for the uncertainty of dissolution of marriage I found Paula, all she required was honesty so she could ascertain my situation and provide the appropriate legal action. I would best describe her as a beacon or a safe port in a stormy circumstance. She is not an attorney that goes through the motions, her method is attention to every detail, an unbiased overview of both parties, and exhausting all resources at her disposal. I found her to be most Viable and an asset in which I will forever be grateful. Paula will always have my trust.
