worst lawyer

Wished I fired him a lot sooner. Please do not hire this lawyer. He cared more about getting my money, and cared nothing about me or my case, as he continually asked the same questions over and over, questions that he should easily know if he was a good lawyer, and he then would charge me for each ...time he asked the same questions again. He dragged my case out much longer than it should have in order to rack my bill up. My ex didn't even have a lawyer, and he kicked his butt in court because it was so obvious Howard Shapiro didn't know anything about our case.
