Steady and strong

I have worked with Amy on post divorce issues and she has always been strong and steady. She has given me difficult advice at times when I didn't want to hear it or follow that course. She is well respected in the community for being honest and straight forward. She is compassionate and listens... to her clients and does what is most prudent. I am always greeted with a smile and great advice anytime that I need to enlist her help. She has been successful every time that we have needed to go in front of the judge. She knew what would resonate with that specific judge and knew when to let go of something. I have referred Amy to several other friends going through difficult family matters and they have been very satisfied with her services as well.

Navigated Tricky Issues with Logic, Fairness – Couldn’t be Happier with Outcome

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!

Brilliant, clever, devoted.

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!

Outstanding Attorney and Immensely Helpful Through Difficult Process

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.

Attorney Shapiro is Amazing. If there was a better word I'd use it.

Attorney Shapiro saved my daughter from an abusive man. She represented me during my divorce. I was not the best mom in the past but have since rehabilitated. I thought my chances of getting my daughter back were zilch! Amy Shapiro worked very hard on my case. Im tearing up as I write this because I...'m so emotional. This Attorney cares about her clients. She goes above and beyond what she is supposed to do. I can't express my feelings into words what this amazing attorney can do. My life is so wonderful now that I'm reunited with my daughter. Thank you Amy from the bottom of my heart for the hard work you put into my case. My daughter thanks you too. Life is good. And it's all because you fought for us.
