Howard Shapiro

Howard was very straight forward with me about my divorce. He didn’t mix words. I received in my final divorce decree exactly what I had been praying for. Lisa Jones Howard’s senior paralegal his right hand person is very very knowledgeable and was always prepared to help me. Howard and Lisa took ca...re of me throughout the whole process from beginning to end. I am grateful to Howard and Lisa. Sincerely.

Howard Shapiro is a seasoned pro - truly! The issues that the Shapiro Law Firm address are real life issues - family and criminal law. I hired Howard and his team for a divorce case that I had initiated due to my husband's chronic alcoholism. What that essentially means is that they were now involved... in literally the details of the continuation of my and my children's way of life. Not for the faint of heart. And yet what I found was the caliber of lawyer, and his team, that were up for the task not just short term but for the long haul. I would describe my experience with Howard and his team as the following: Life..it does not always cooperate, whether done to you or choices made. At some point eveything's gonna go south on you..everything..and you are gonna say this is it. This is how I end. Now...you can either accept that or you can get busy. That's all it is. You just begin. And that is what Howard does. He does the math. He helps you solve one problem, and then the next and the next and if you solve enough you get to have a better life than the one you were living upon initiation of hiring the firm. If you were to ask me genuinely after knowing Howard and his team for years what I would say - you could not be in finer hands. He knows the law and can handle your case hands down, in and out of court - you will sleep at night no question. And on the back end as you work through your case you will pleasantly find you have a new friend and one you admire and respect.

I hired the Shapiro Law Firm to represent me in a very severe matter involving criminal as well as access to my children. I was looking at the possibility of a long prison term and my parental rights being terminated. Howard and Todd Shapiro got my bail lowered to a fraction of what it was set at ori...ginally. They found the best possible scientific expert as well as experts in other areas for the trail, picked the jury with the help of a jury consultant and did an outstanding job connecting with the jury ,with a favorable outcome during the trial. They worked with the CPS and reunited me with my children. Howard exhibited great deal of professionalism all through the process. Rest of the staff like the paralegals were great too. Their billing was very accurate - never had to dispute any item on their invoice. All in all Howard Shapiro is a great and well respected attorney in the court system & I would recommend Howard and The Shapiro Law firm to anyone that requires legal representation in the area of criminal defense as well as legal matters that involve CPS.

Stay away from this person! he took my money in december and then informed me that i do not stand a chance of winning my case. We were only talking for 30 minutes on the phone, he did not even review my emails. We met on the court for 30 minutes, and now 2 months after he did not even send me a bill ...to explain why did he charge me. I still did not get the rest of my retainer back, His staff is rude, i recommend that you rather give up your case then give any of your money to this snake.
