Orestes and Maria Garcia

Ms. Shapiro was a pleasure to work with. Her creativity, knowledge and passion exuded at all moments and was unsurpassed. She performed "beyond the call of duty" while exhibiting the upmost professionalism even under the most emotional of circumstances that our case presented. I wholeheartedly recom...mend Brenda and her excellent staff.

Posted by anonymous | April 14, 2008 | Child Custody

Former divorce client

Brenda Shapiro saved my child's life. She represented me so well that I was able to obtain custody of my child when everyone said it was impossible. Outspent by my former spouse, through Brenda's skill we won the custody battle. She handled every part of my case with a high level of skill and profess...ionalism. She never let me forget this case was about my child. I cannot say enough about this lawyer.

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.
