Great Representation

Working with Myra, she has been very helpful, supportive and professional during my time of need. My case was not easy & she made it a priority to fight for me and seek what was right. I will forever be grateful and thankful for all her knowledge and support. I never had any issues getting a hold of ...her, she was always attentive and helpful in any way she can. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs strong representation.

The best experience

After the passing of my brother from Covid in 2020 (he had full custody of his teenage daughter) I was referred to Ms Shapiro ,. It couldn’t have been a better choice. Extremely anxious and nervous about proceeding with the guardianship hearing for my niece against her biological mother. Ms Shapiro c...ouncelled me and comforted me at every turn, and that’s saying a lot because this custody battle lasted for almost 3 years! It was amazing having her on my side, and it was probably the best decision that I had ever made, because I finally won the Guardianship for my niece against her biological mother and that is not an easy thing to do. I can’t say how much I appreciated her during this time and would prefer her to anyone and everyone who’s looking for somebody to help them. She is the one to go to.!

Myra E. Shapiro

I have no regret using Mrs Myra E. Shapiro when I was going through my divorce. Myra stood by my side and fought my case for me all the way. Even when my case seemed bleeky she fought for my justice. Also, the amount of work she put in and an affordable cost was surprising to me. At times when I ne...eded advise and had no one to turn to I would call Myra and she would encourage me positively. Thank you again for standing by my side Myra I really appreciate the love you have for your job and your clients. I highly recommend Mr. Myra E. Shapiro to persons who are looking for a good attorney. I rate her a 5 plus stars!!

Myra Shapiro is my Warrior

After 2 years (COVID) I walked out of the court house with sole legal and physical custody. I also walked out with a strength , confidence and determination to be the best mother and woman I can be for my daughter. All thanks to Myra Shapiro. She listened to me, supported me and fought hard for me an...d my daughter’s safety and well being. She answered all my emails, txt and phone calls even the ones where I was spinning with fear, doubt and asking a bunch of questions. She took the time to answer them and counsel me, that is not really part of her job, in my opinion. She showed me compassion and tough love and it’s exactly what I needed to have the strength to keep going and fighting for my rights. Myra was honest and I learned a lot on how to protect myself, legally and emotionally. During trial if there was something that I wanted brought up because it meant a lot to me and she also believed it would benefit my case, she would do it. I’m so blessed to have had her fighting for me. What she gave me was invaluable. If anybody I know is going to family court I would most definitely recommend Myra Shapiro.
