Claire K. Shapack

I sought out Attorney Shapack after requiring legal assistance for a claim against a negligent housing entity. Especially given the case was my first experience with the legal process, I was very concerned about making the right choice. My first meeting with Attorney Shapack quelled those fears: She ...took copious notes, asked several questions, and was notably very patient and detail-oriented with regards to understanding my case and how to best approach it. Attorney Shapack was very professional, accessible when I had questions, and provided constant updates as the case developed. Ultimately, a very favorable outcome was reached and I attribute this entirely to Attorney Shapack's skill and knowledge of the legal system. If I do require such services in the future, I will know where to turn.

Claire did a fantastic job representing my wife and I in a dispute with our landlords. She was extremely competent and professional, and did a great job staying on top of everything. Our issue wound up being resolved much the way I had anticipated, with no time spent in court and we were compensated ...fairly. I would recommend Claire to anyone seeking excellent representation.

I left a message for Claire Shapack nearly a month ago regarding a landlord/tentant issue where our landlord was trying to charge us termination fees that we didn't agree with. I just received a call back from her today and almost forgot who she was since it had been so long that I found her website ...and left a voicemail for her initially. I asked her why it took so long to call me back and she said I left my message for her right before she left town. To me that is not acceptable in the modern world. Especially when you require somewhat immediate legal counsel. Even if you are leaving town at least have someone check your voicemails. I then briefly explained the situation to her and she said that in order to talk any more I'd need to bring in all correspondence evidence and that she would charge a $150 consultation fee. She said this rudely and and in a manner that led me to believe she would not care about helping us at all... she said a lot of people just use her for consultations and then move on without her that's why the fee is so high. Due to the extremely long time for a return call and then the attitude I was given during the call I would never recommend even trying to use this attorney. She made me feel like I was simply bothering her and that she didn't have time for a petty case such as mine. NO THANK YOU Claire Shapack. It's a shame too because we have money and were willing to pay even more than what the landlord was trying to get from us just to prove we were right. She was rude...late to call....and just plain not what anyone needs in someone representing them.. Find a lawyer that you feel is on your side and that will return calls promptly. The Shapack Firm is not what you need if you want to feel reassured and cared about.
