Caitlin Schaffer
Paralegal
I was recently hired in the summer of 2024 at our Fairborn
location. I work alongside my husband Tony Maiorano to assist in the Firm’s
legal matters. It is always a pleasure to work within our local community and help
our neighbors with their legal issues.
I am passionate about supporting clients through the legal
process and strive to provide the highest level of service and professionalism.
When I’m not assisting with legal matters, I enjoy visiting our local library, going to Sandhill park, and playing with our three daughters.
