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.

Terrible experience

Hired for family case, had to fire her. She was difficult to get a hold of, never let me express my concerns for my son. I felt like She was representing my ex husband more than me. I would absolutely nit recommend her and obvious not use her again.
