Unethical and Incompetent

As stay at home Dad to my children for years asked Amy to file immediately, but Amy delayed, became a respondent, Amy ensured she met with opposing counsel (behind closed doors) and I lost access to joint marital accounts, a working vehicle, health and dental insurance, while Amy charged an unjustifi...able fees for her services with egregious errors. After re-entering the workforce and making monthly payments (as agreed), Amy placed a judgment on my home (higher amount than owed) as a favor for an endorsement of a prominent Judge’s political campaign. I called her, pointed out her gross incompetence and malpractice and settled the matter - If you’re going through a high conflict divorce, seek someone organized and ethical. Amy refused to address issues in a timely manner, and will take you for a “ride”. 15 months later, Amy reached out to my place of employment and requested services, which I would not service due to ethics/ conflict of interest.

Top Notch Attorney, Wonderful Person

Amy is an extraordinary attorney. My divorce was complex with both inheritance issues and an uncooperative former spouse who kept changing attorneys. Amy was steady when the boat got rocky. There were some tough legal challenges by the other side, but Amy was tougher and she was innovative. When it l...ooked like there might not be any solution on the horizon, her experience and wisdom shone. Amy is a natural negotiator and will try to resolve matters finding common ground. But, when it is obvious that negotiation is not appropriate, she will fight hard. She is compassionate and it is clear that she works very hard for justice for her clients. I cannot recommend Amy enough.

One of the best if not THE best divorce lawyers

Amy was very considerate and thoughtful in helping me through the divorce process. I knew I always had a choice in every matter and she was kind to explain what choosing each direction meant. This is the kindness and caring that you do not expect out of the typical lawyer.

Excellent attorney!

I highly recommend Amy Shapiro. She helped me every step of the way with my divorce. She is extremely knowledgeable and hard-working. She was able to negotiate fairly with my ex-husband's attorney. If you are looking for a divorce attorney, give Amy a call!

Great lawyer, wonderful person.

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.
