Outstanding lawyer and worth every penny
This is the first time I’ve ever needed a lawyer in my life. I was scared, worried. A friend recommended Todd and it was the best decision I’ve ever made. Todd got my case dismissed completely which was an absolute answer to prayer. He told me exactly what to expect, and everything he told me ended up being 100% right and the best advice I could get. He is worth every single penny and is a life saver. I couldn’t recommend him enough. He can be trusted when you are in the worst situation of your life.

Highly recommend
I would highly recommend Todd Shapiro, whom I recently had the pleasure of working with on a legal case.
I found him to be an exceptional lawyer with a deep understanding of the law and a strong commitment to his clients. From the first meeting, he took the time to listen to my concerns and explain the legal process in a way that I could understand. He was always available to answer my questions and kept me updated on the progress of my case.
Throughout the case he demonstrated a high level of professionalism and expertise. He was thorough in their preparation and provided me with sound legal advice at every stage of the process. His attention to detail and strategic thinking helped to ensure a positive outcome for my case.
In addition to his legal expertise, I found Mr. Shapiro to be compassionate and empathetic towards my situation. He took the time to understand the impact that the case was having on my life and provided emotional support when I needed it most.
Overall, I would highly recommend The Shapiro Law Firm to anyone in need of legal representation. Their dedication, expertise, and commitment to their clients make them a standout in their field. I am grateful for their assistance and would not hesitate to work with them again in the future.

Outstanding, EXCELLENT attorney!!
Hiring Mr. Todd Shapiro was one of the best decisions of my life. Prior to meeting with him, I visited several lawyers but he stood out as someone very informed, professional, kind & result oriented. Throughout the process after I hired him, he was honest, kept me informed on the progress on my case, was ALWAYS super quick to respond (even after hours) and worked diligently to achieve the best outcome.
He went above & beyond to fight for me & was successful in getting me the BEST outcome which was a blessing. I am nothing but grateful to him for all his hard work. I highly and 100% recommend Mr. Todd Shapiro!

Mr
Todd was confident and vigilante when I reached out about my pending DWI. I was unsure of the process and felt completely embarrassed and confused about the next steps. I knew I had a good case, but nevertheless, didn’t feel confident. Todd from day one was personable, thoughtful, and prepared. That was seen even more so as we got closer to my court date. COVID did make the process longer, but Todd was always available to answer any questions and ease my nerves. I was found not guilty, but would have been pleased with Todd’s work even if it hadn’t worked out in my favor. I would like to thank him for his diligence and I would recommend him to anybody moving forward.

Representation in 2020
My representation with Todd ended today and I could not be happier with the work he did. The day I received the offer from the DA I was almost in shock. The terms were very fair and attainable as I work to piece my life back together. Todd would barely even take credit it for it! This was no question the best hire I could have possibly made.

Yes - you can TRUST Todd
I was facing life in prison and no other attorneys were able or willing to help me. One attorney that was unwilling to help referred me to Todd. I asked Todd during my consultation how he knew he could help me, and he told me that it was not out of ego, but of pure confidence in his ability, that he would me able to help me. I was beyond scared but Todd consistently put me at ease in what would have been a hopeless situation without him. He never left me hanging at any point, responding very quickly via phone and email. He even gave me his cell phone number to contact him as needed outside of business hours on an evening or weekend - which I did several times. The outcome was exactly what I was told to expect and I could not be happier or more grateful. He's not only a great attorney, but a great person.

Most grateful client
The mind of man plans his ways, but the Lord directs his steps. To be honest, I googled/researched the internet for days and ended up in Todd’s office. It was not by coincidence. It was meant to be. When people are faced with doubt or fear or confusion, their defenses go up. Todd would tell you mine were the highest he’s ever seen! Your attorney’s job as a professional in the legal field is to calm the waters, clarify legal jargon and make things easier for you. Todd did that for me...for months. Great lawyers personalize the relationship by recognizing the unique styles, interests, and needs of the individuals with whom they work. Todd quickly figured out how worried and anxious I was and did his best to keep my fears at bay. Now I can see why there are so many positive testimonials about Todd. Todd won my case for me and my life is forever changed. Todd- I am your “most grateful client” and that comes from the heart.

Given One More Chance (and Grateful for It!)
It would be easy to argue why I should not be here and able to write this review, but I am beyond fortunate that this is not the case. I am a good person who made an extremely poor and selfish decision (one more time). Everyone makes mistakes, right? But does everyone keep making the same mistake? Well, I did. It would have been easy for everyone to kick me to the side and write me off. Needless to say, I am familiar with defense attorneys, but none I had used measure up to Mr Todd Shapiro. I am writing this with the bulk of my troubles behind me and just probation left of my plate. I could easily be sitting in prison right now. When I initially met Mr Shapiro, I immediately felt something was different this time. He treated me differently. I genuinely felt and still feel like he cared/cares. He was stern though and I probably needed this more than anything. My family and friends had already tried. It was a very disciplined yet human approach as to what I needed to do and the urgency in which to get it done. Mr Shapiro came to me by high recommendation, so I followed his rather simple advice. Needless to say, I was scared beyond belief. I felt for sure that I was going to be removed from my son for a very long time. Mr Shapiro was always there to answer all of my questions and he did so in a very timely manner, which I had never experienced before from an attorney. I was very lucky to have straightened out the majority of my personal issues before it was time to see the Judge. I was prepared for the worst, yet hoping for the best, but no matter what the outcome was to be, I was in the best place mentally that I could to cope with it. I ended up with a little time of being incarcerated, but it could have easily been much worse. By following Mr Shapiro's advice we were able to present to this to the Judge, and Mr Shapiro was able to convey the changes that had occured in me and my life. I sit here today as a mostly free man with only simple probation left to complete. Yesterday, I went with my father to watch my son play tennis. There is no way to express how much this means to me. This was not all handed to me. I had to work for it, but the steps to take were not complex. I am approaching 2 years of sobriety, and after a 34-year drinking career, it almost seems unfathomable. Life is good. I will get to see my son graduate. I get to help others. I get to share this with you. I have been afforded this by being given one more chance, and have my family, friends, and attorney to thank for this, as they have been there for me.
Thank you for taking time to read this, and one more Thank You to Mr Shapiro.

Super lawyer
Todd was great from the start. My situation had me really worried and talking with Todd and meeting him made me feel great, and gave me confidence easing my anxiety. He was extremely responsive with communication. I had tons of questions for him about how things would proceed. He walked me through everything step by step multiple times until I understood everything. He was very thorough. He is the only attorney I will ever hire.

I literally had an incident come up on Saturday late afternoon. Todd Immediately responded. He took phone calls and helped me late Saturday into the evening, and all day Sunday. You don’t always plan on needing an attorney, But when you do - it’s good to have someone available that will help.

Client - possession of Marijuana
Todd was excellent at meeting my personal needs for my case. This is the only time I have been charged with a crime and wanted the most qualified attorney. He was highly recommended by multiple people and everyone I asked knew of him and his work. He is to the point and doesn’t waste time. He asked me what my ideal outcome would be and also what I wanted. He gave me the legal options and recommended the best plea for my situation. He answered my calls on his personal cell phone, and went above and beyond to help me. Todd clearly set my expectations and I felt confident with him as my legal counsel.
