About Peter A.
Peter A. Schaffert combined legal training and healthcare management studies early in his career. He earned a J.D. from the University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law in 2003 and completed a Master’s in Health Sector Management at Arizona State University in 2006. Those degrees set a practical framework for the work he would take on in the years that followed.
He entered private practice soon after law school. Records show he worked as an associate at Sutton Hatmaker Law Corporation in 2008. That role gave him hands-on experience in a firm setting and exposure to the daily demands of client representation and case preparation. From staff attorney responsibilities to client meetings and court appearances, he learned the operational side of practicing law in California.
In 2010 he began operating as a sole practitioner under the name Peter A. Schaffert, Lawyer at Law. Running a solo practice changed the day-to-day dynamic. He took on both legal work and the administrative tasks that keep a small office running. Managing client intake, billing, and case strategy meant he had to balance advocacy with firm management.
His academic background in health sector management informs the kinds of matters he handles. The combination of a J.D. and a graduate degree in healthcare management positions him to address legal issues that intersect with healthcare organizations, regulatory compliance, and policy. He has worked on matters that require understanding both legal doctrine and the organizational realities of healthcare providers. That practical, cross-disciplinary perspective guides how he evaluates risks and recommends solutions for clients operating in regulated environments.
Schaffert is licensed to practice in California. He has maintained his solo practice in the state since 2010, guiding clients through regulatory questions, contractual matters, and related disputes. He presents legal analysis in straightforward terms, aiming to make complex regulatory requirements more accessible to clients. He continues to practice from his solo office in California, concentrating on legal issues affecting healthcare entities and related regulatory matters.
