This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Attorney David Shapiro was great

I am very pleased with Attorney Shapiro. He returned my call promptly and when we spoke he was clearly interested in my situation. He asked appropriate questions and specified how he could be of help. I am enormously pleased.

Conscientious, Empathetic, Detailed, Trustworthy

David took on my case load when the attorney representing me moved to another firm. Since then, David has been with me as we have grown the company locations threefold. As a small business owner, I have needed legal counsel time to time dealing with acquisitions, human resource issues, and estate p...lanning. As David has progressed in his career, his attention to his clients has never waivered. He has access to highly skilled individuals who can assist us in many facets of our proffesional and personal lives. Over the last few years, David has become more than my attorney; he has become a trusted advisor and a friend.

Great Results, Expert, High Integrity

As a small business owner, I rely on professional advisors outside my company. I choose consultants -- attorneys, accountants, and others -- in whom I have complete and utter trust to, shall we say, have my back. As an attorney, and as a friend, David Shapiro fits that bill. From time to time, I h...ave faced sticky situations -- HR related in my case -- that required an experienced attorney at my side. David is expert in his field -- and has a team of experts at his fingertips should he need a second opinion. He has guided me through tough negotiations, always adhering to the highest code of ethics and fairness, and we came out with outstanding results. He is honest and thorough. And he is accessible. For these reasons and many more I can with confidence recommend the legal services of David Shapiro and his firm, Paley Rothman, in Bethesda, MD.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
