All-encompassing counsel for divorcing clients
Corey Shapiro focuses on helping clients reach litigation-free divorces. He uses several different dispute resolution methods to achieve this goal. The result, for clients, is a deep skillset that can meet their needs as they evolve. Corey is a missionary, not a mercenary. He is a divorce attorney who resolves divorces outside of the courtroom in order to minimize risks and costs. Meanwhile, he uses the courts to resolve divorce emergencies. The goal is always to help clients make the best use of their time, money, and emotional energy as they move toward post-divorce life.
He believes that having a manageable divorce with a difficult spouse or opponent starts with better thinking, which correlates to making better decisions. He helps clients develop effective legal and emotional strategies for dealing with high-conflict spouses, guiding them through high-stress decision-making, and giving them the support and skills they need to stay smart and sane under pressure. Clients praise both his advocacy and his compassion.
In any practice, “making it look easy" only happens with considerable experience and work ethic. Corey, who has been practicing in the field for more than 20 years, has a unique ability to see practical solutions that are efficient and uncomplicated. When divorce brings intense feelings to the surface, Corey’s clients also benefit from his emotional intelligence and discretion. More than an incisive legal tactician, he is also a trusted and creative advisor.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
Corey and I were opposing counsel on a fairly complicated case together. He advocated zealously for his client, but was always professional, and his approach led to a very fair, equitable settlement for his client. I endorse him.

If you need a matrimonial attorney, Corey is your man. I’ve seen him in court: He’s sharp, strategic, and thoughtful. Call him.

Corey is my go-to referral for matrimonial cases. I have known him for over 10 years, and everyone I have referred to him has been very happy with his representation. Corey is an outstanding, highly skilled, ethical attorney.

Corey Shapiro is an extremely knowledgeable, diligent and trustworthy matrimonial attorney. I endorse Mr. Shapiro and highly recommend him to friends and family members without hesitation or reservation.
Peter Kolp, Family Attorney on Aug 17, 2016
Relationship: Other
I have known Corey for over 20 years when we started law school. It doesn't surprise me that he was ranked as a Super Lawyer. However, that doesn't tell the whole story about Corey. There's always been something so welcoming and kind in Corey. He cares about people, his area of law and even playing at the highest level he is constantly looking to get better. Rare to be such a good guy and so skilled as attorney. If your are looking for someone in family law, look no further. Good person, honest, trustworthy and the best of the best.
Bruce Connolly, Litigation Attorney on Mar 1, 2011
