Responsive and Efficient!

I was referred to Todd from a coworker and he was quick to get the process going, always made himself available for questions and gave me clear and concise information to get the best out of my situation. I was very happy with the plea bargain he negotiated after pleading guilty to DWI. Highly reco...mmend!

Top Notch Attorney!! Highly recommended!

Todd was so easy to work with and gave me all the reassurance I needed to feel confident about my case. He is easily accessed and willing to meet at minimal notice. I have full trust in his capabilities and would recommend him to anyone looking for a solid, intelligent and fierce attorney!! I feel c...ompletely safe with him by my side!

DWI

Todd took control right away in my defense. He explained all what was to happen in detail and his exceptional work more than exceeded my expectations! He was available 24/7 on all accounts. Perfect work!!

Honest, Considerate, and a Great Asset to have on Your Side!

Let me start by saying, Todd Shapiro is not the lawyer I hired. I hired a criminal defense lawyer for my wife after an aggravated assault charge and have been extremely disappointed by his lack of performance, and advice. Since feeling dissatisfied with my experience, I called a few lawyers in the ...Collin County area and found Mr. Shapiro's website. Not only did he have great reviews, but his website looked extremely professional. I emailed him for a free consultation, and within minutes I already had a response. He was considerate, listened to my situation, and was extremely helpful. I learned more in the 20 minute conversation I had on the phone than in the 6 months with my wife's current lawyer. He offered to assist me as much as possible, despite my financial difficulties I currently experience, and was not what you expect a lawyer to be. Trust me when I say, humanity and having someone legitimately want to help you goes a long way. At this time, I thoroughly wish I had chosen Mr. Shapiro to represent my wife, because he is more than just a lawyer out to make money. He understands the harsh situations families may go through, and he wants to help. If that doesn't scream a man who has found more than a career, but a passion for helping people, I don't know what else does. All I can say is if you call Mr. Shapiro, you will see the professionalism, kindness and dedication he has to his clients- even the one's he doesn't even represent!

Repeat DWI offender

After receiving my fourth DWI , I was very scared and needed an experienced , no bull type of lawyer. As I did my research to find the one lawyer that I knew would go to work for me with true grit and determination. I found that in Todd Shapiro. The DA's office recommended I not be allowed an occupat...ional drivers license. I would have lost everything, home, property, vehicles, everything. Through his 15 plus years of working cases in Collin County he has developed many relationships , and that is the exact reason he was able to visit with the Judge that will be associated with my case and explain to him the importance in me still having the ability to drive for my work and to continue on making a living. I chose wisely, you should too!

  • 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.
