Case Dismissed

You should hire him! The dismissal of my case is an unparalleled achievement. Life has been tough, but now I can finally move forward. From the moment Todd took on my case, I had unwavering faith that he would secure the best possible outcome for me. It felt like divine intervention, and I am d...eeply grateful for all the effort he poured into my case. Facing a charge of Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon brought unbearable stress and pain, but through Todd’s exceptionally professional efforts, the matter was resolved, and the prosecutor ultimately dismissed the case. This marks the beginning of a new chapter in my life and stands as a testament to Todd’s remarkable accomplishment—he saved an innocent person. If you’re seeking a trustworthy, experienced, and highly efficient lawyer, Todd is absolutely the best choice.

Exceptional Attorney

If you are ever in need of an articulate, proactive, values driven attorney, this is your guy! He's no-nonsense, to-the-point and experienced. I worked with Todd Shapiro under unfortunate circumstances. That said, the experience I had with him couldn't have been better. Clarity, peace of mind and fan...tastic communicator. While I hope I don't need someone with his expertise in the future, he'll be my first call if I do.

Detail, Detail, Detail!

Todd is the absolute best, I consulted with another attorney prior to hiring Todd, and Todd's keen attention to detail is what prompted me to hire Todd on the spot. I was accused of something that would have drastically altered my life trajectory. Todd was able to get the case dismissed, allowing m...e to continue on my path. Highly recommend Todd to anyone seeking a highly skilled, trained, and effective attorney!

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.
