Compassionate, Conscientious, and Kind

My fiance and I just finalized our prenuptial agreement. Amy served as my attorney during the prenuptial process. She was patient with my lack of knowledge and took time to explain things in precise and understandable ways. I was incredibly nervous and anxious about the potential for this process to ...create conflict and strife between my fiance and I. Amy's professionalism and awareness of my feelings helped to guide and navigate a collaborative process that brought my fiance and I closer together.

Divorce and separation lawyer | Apr 30

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"As an Elder Law Attorney who does not practice family law, Attorney Amy Shapiro is my go-to referral lawyer when a family law case comes up. She has done an excellent job with those cases. We have also worked together on cases that had overlapping issues. She is very down to earth, explains things clearly, and knows how to fight for her clients when needed. I have complete confidence in her ability to do a great job for her clients."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Amy, is an honest, hard-working and insightful attorney. I have worked opposite her on numerous cases, and she always has the ability to advance a client's position, while looking for creative solutions that can work for both parties and reduce conflict. She is one of the few lawyers I refer friends to as she treats all cases and clients ethically and as a priority."

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.
