Smart but Inattentive

Very smart, impeccable memory, hard to reach after initial interview and full payment, a little disrespectful, did not get the results I hoped for.. but good luck! **As we entered the courtroom he told me he's not nervous because he's not on trial as a joke. That, and he wouldn't answer my calls ...the week leading up to the case made for a very uncomfortable court day.

"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Shapiro is the gold standard when it comes to DUI, DWI, and Drunk Driving Defense in Maryland. He has been a mentor and teacher to many young lawyers and experienced Judges in Maryland. If I have a tough questions that I need a second opinion on, I don't hesitate in contacting Mr. Shapiro. If you are facing a DUI or DWI in Maryland, you want to speak with Lenny Shapiro."

Criminal defense lawyer | Jul 19

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Mr. Shapiro's wise counsel was very helpful to me early in y career through the continuing legal educational seminars and materials he conducted or wrote. He insisted to us often nervous or unconfident young defense attorneys NOT to be afraid to try cases, not to surrender but to fight and fight and fight. I have also witnessed Mr. Shapiro in bench trials, though not in jury trial work myself, and admire his very even, reflective tone at trial, argument and mitigation. If my father, sister or closest friend got into serious criminal/traffic court trouble in Baltimore County, I would direct her/him to Leonard Shapiro's office. Absolutely endorsed."

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.
