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.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
