Adam Shapiro’s Peer Endorsements

Adam is a very knowledgeable and experienced attorney who obtains great results for his clients. I have known him for several years and worked with him at the same law office. Adam takes on very complex cases and knows extremely well the intricacies of family law. Also, he is very well versed in dealing with child custody issues. I highly recommend him.

Adam is diligent and compassionate. Many lawyers either care deeply about their clients but are unable to be objective, or they are objective but don't care enough. Adam Shapiro somehow manages to strike a balance and do both. I respect him for it.

Adam worked for me at the Washington Appellate Defender Association in the 1990's. I have followed his career and his accomplishments since that time. He is a wonderful person and an astute lawyer. I highly recommend his work.

I endorse this lawyer. I got to know Adam when he was a public defender and I was his opposing counsel prosecutor. We literally had hundreds of cases together and throughout our many year association I always found Adam to be an exceptional attorney. He is tenacious and steadfast in court but also a skilled negotiator. We both have moved on to private practice since those days and I have frequently referred clients to Adam - especially in the areas of dependencies and high confliuct cases - with excellent results.

I endorse this lawyer. Myself and another private lawyer were double-teaming Adam in a dependency/child custody-related case; I represented the child; he was a public defender representing the parent whose propspects for "keeping" the child looked very poor. I was expecting to win in short order, but Adam fought hard, well, and ethically -- he quite skilfully and suddenly wrested one "routine" hearing totally away from us and into his client's favor, seizing upon a "procedural" notice issue we'd thought was a non-issue. Well, the Judge saw it Adam's way that day, and with good reason. Advocacy of the highest order.

I endorse this lawyer. Adam is a brilliant and hard working lawyer. I worked with him for many years and witnessed first hand his fierce advocacy for his clients. I refer him to current clients who need a family law attorney frequently. I have only heard positive feedback from the clients I have referred to him.

I endorse this lawyer. Adam Shapiro was the first attorney I was assigned to work with at the beginning of my legal career, and his hard work, dedication to his clients, and his knowledge of the law where one of my first role models in my practice. Adam is a determined and creative advocate, who taught me that there is a way to effectively communicate every client's position, no matter how difficult it is. I am proud to work with Adam now, and to watch him continue to serve his clients creatively, effectively and with determination.

I had the pleasure of working with Adam Shapiro on a dependency-related matter in King County juvenile court. He was very knowledgeable, helpful, and sensitive to the people involved. I look forward to the opportunity to work with him again and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone with a need for representation in this area.
