Myra E. Shapiro

Upon meeting with Myra, I felt so calm. I felt welcomed. Invited. She was not judgemental. I spoke to her on a Friday and she made time for me on Monday to meet. She spent over two hours with me listening and then answering my questions. She's so knowledgeable, so she made sure to explain every...thing. She's right there in the heart of Queens by the Courts, so she's on the front lines dealing with Family Courts. She validated a lot of my questions and I felt very informed, confident. I consulted her and then hired her. I wouldn't be able to do this paperwork, it's so confusing even though she explained to me how to if I chose to not go with her. She always checked on me and followed up on my calls and messages promptly. Understand, she is a working lawyer, in the courts - so for her to be so responsive when I knew how busy she was in the courts as well, I was so impressed. Kind, thorough and favorable outcome for me. Eternally grateful for her expertise. I feel very lucky to have found her, like a needle in a haystack.

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.

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.
