Posted by Mike P. | January 30, 2023 | Hired Attorney | Personal Injury

Why can’t all lawyers be like this?

Over the past 20 years, our family has hired Mr. Shalowitz for numerous cases including personal injury, divorce, writing our wills, traffic tickets, and more. He always took our calls right away or returned our calls by the end of the business day. We have always been satisfied with the outcome of o...ur cases. When other lawyers wanted to charge us out the Wazoo so they could line their pockets, Mr. Shalowitz tried to settle the case from the get-go knowing how these cases usually turn out. Only an experienced, ethical, and loyal attorney would do this. It seems that nowadays lawyers just want to continue the litigation so they can make more money. Fortunately, Mr. Shalowitz is not one of those Lawyers. Why can’t all lawyers be like him?

Top Notch Attorney

I am a court clerk and Mr. Shalowitz went above and beyond the call of duty for me and for my son. He did not bill for much of his time, he knocked down his bill, and gave us a payment plan. This was appreciated considering many family law clients try to stiff their lawyers because, no matter what,... they will never be satisfied. We were 100% satisfied!! The matter was handled in about 2 months -- I received custody of my son and received child support from my ex. We had an excellent result and we would recommend him to anyone in need of an attorney. It is refreshing to know that ethical lawyers are still out there who deal fairly and honestly with their clients and the other litigants and lawyers.

Outstanding!!!

My family and I have used Mr. Shalowitz as our lawyer in all of our family matters -- dissolution of marriage, wills/trusts, personal injury, and traffic tickets. I don't know how he does it, but he is AMAZING!!! The results were better than we hoped in each case, he kept us informed, and he even lo...wered his fee in almost every case to make life easier on us! He is as honest as the day is long and I would trust his sound legal advice on any matter!

Top-Notch Lawyer!!!

Mr. Shalowitz is the epitome of what a lawyer should be: competent, smart, prepared, a good listener, patient, and successful in our outcome. I am so glad I was referred to him by another lawyer-friend of ours.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Mr. Shalowitz was available 24 hours a day. He told me his fee up-front and even allowed me to work out a payment plan because I could not afford all of it at once on a fixed income. At the end of the case, he reduced the bill for me. The outcome was great! He was kind, courteous, compassiona...te, gave my case personal attention, answered all of my calls and questions, and showed up on time to every hearing and court date. Even after the case was over when I had questions, he was available and took my calls free of charge. I have dealt with other lawyers before, and Mr. Shalowitz is the BEST!!! What a great lawyer he is!!! I cannot thank him enough!!!

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.
