Amy L. Shapiro

I hired Amy to handle my divorce, after a long-term marriage, with children. My ex-wife chose not to hire a lawyer. It was important to me to have a guide and advocate whose humanity, care, and ethics coincided with mine. In time it became clear that Amy was not only a great lawyer, but a wise, car...ing, and good person. While she had my interests at heart, she ensured that the agreement I reached with my former spouse was fair and reasonable. Amy knows the law, with lots of experience, and she shared what I could expect and should consider in any of the scenarios that we talked through. She knows the process, and she made sure that I knew where I stood, what I could expect. I shared what was important to me, and we worked through the possibilities, and she let me decide what was going to be the best for me. She provided excellent advice, and guidance. I would recommend Amy to anyone.

My divorce had special issues at play as my ex has issues with multiple addictions. These issues impacted our finances and children in significant ways. Amy represented me through our collaborative divorce. I can’t say enough good things about Amy’s knowledge and skills. She has a high moral compass ...that kept my focus on the big picture, despite the natural grief, anger, resentment and sadness that would pull me down. She does a great job of keeping things fair and balanced, logical and purposeful. She was direct and honest with me about likely outcomes – particularly when they wouldn’t be in my favor and then was creative about finding solutions. She was a God send for me and helped me land softly after what was a heart wrenching negotiation. I’m thrilled with our outcomes. And I’m happier, healthier and more whole as a human being than I have been in years. Thank you Amy for helping to get me here!

I went to several lawyers known to be the toughest in the city to represent me against the "barracuda" my husband hired. None of them wanted to tangle with her. Amy, despite knowing the reputation of the difficult to work with attorney she'd be facing, stepped up to the task and helped me navigat...e through with grace, wit, and patience. She didn't get rattled by the nasty tactics and often helped me gather up the strength to persevere without falling apart. Amy has a wonderful sense of humor which I greatly appreciated. She was always coming up with clever ways to negotiate and expedite. I could rest knowing someone had the bases covered for me. This process doesn't have to be hard if you have the right attorney on your side!

Amy Shapiro is an excellent attorney. She is a tenacious advocate, exceptionally smart, and a creative problem solver. Amy is very compassionate and caring for her clients as well. My divorce was very difficult and Amy's uncanny ability to keep me calm was amazing. I could not have gotten through it ...without her. Above all her ethics are impeccable. As legal professional myself, I have never encountered another attorney more responsive and on the ball. I strongly recommend Amy. I am very grateful that she was my attorney.
