Judge Schafer was previously the head Ionia County Prosecutor. He currently serves as a judge of the 8th Judicial Circuit Court. He has been very reasonable and fair in my dealings with him.
After a criminal matter is bound over to his court, your attorney will receive a scheduling order indicating the possible trial dates. Normally a case will be set for trial on three to five separate dates. On each trial date, the oldest case will be tried. However, as many cases resolve without trial, it is not uncommon for a case to be tried on the first or second jury trial date.
Judge Schafer is fair when it comes to sentencing. Judge Schafer may impose a curfew as part of probation or to require that the probationer wear a SCRAM tether. Judge Schafer will give at least some jail time to anyone who tries to smuggle contraband into prison located in Ionia.
