Amazing Criminal Defense Attorney

Todd is AMAZING!!!! Todd has been an excellent criminal defense attorney. We had a very complicated felony case with a possibility of a 30 year sentence. Lives were at stake. When we first met with Todd, he was very straight forward about the possibility of the outcome. We respected his straight for...wardness and hired him to defend us. Throughout the entire process, he was available to answer questions or provide consultation of concerns. He went above and beyond by being available on weekends and evenings. He is highly dedicated to his clients and it is apparent by how he works diligently to defend his client. During the trial, he was very detailed and picked the case apart. Again, not giving false hopes, but being very matter of fact. He's real. He won a case that we felt the odds were against us. We put our lives and trust in Todd and he did not let us down. Todd is AMAZING! We can not thank Todd enough for his excellent defense and for giving us our lives back.

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!

Criminal Defense

Todd was extremely attentive from the very beginning. He returned my call with in hours of me leaving a message. He was recomended to us by another attorney who was spot on! Todd listened to us, explained our options, gave us all of the pros and cons. Really laid out the facts of the case so that ev...eryone was very clear on his defense and how he felt we should proceed. Throughout the whole process he kept us informed. He explained our options and proposed the best plan for action. Todd was always prompt and responsive. He really helped prepare the whole family for every step. He is worth every single penny! He was amazing in court, respectful, strong and made very strong points. We would recomend him in a minute.

I would recommend Todd in a heartbeat!!

At a time in my life when I was most scared and in a lot of legal trouble, Todd was an outstanding choice for my legal representation. From the outset, he was honest and upfront about what I was facing which I very much appreciated. He helped to prepare me for the upcoming months--not just as to what... would happen in the courtroom but what to be braced for emotionally and mentally as that time approached. From the beginning, I felt comfortable with Todd and as though I could feel free to ask any questions. He explained things to me and kept me in the loop and up to date at all times. I never questioned that he had my back. Truly, Todd made me feel as though my case was more than just a job to him--I felt as though he truly did want to help. He showed very genuine concern for me on many occasions which meant more than I could say. I would recommend Todd in a heartbeat to anyone facing a tough legal road ahead of them. I 100% believe you could not go wrong hiring Todd as your legal representation. I know, without a doubt, during my day in court, there is no other attorney I would have rather had sitting next to and representing me than Todd Shapiro.

Best DWI Criminal Defense Attorney

Todd receives my highest recommendation as a criminal defense attorney. What sets Todd apart is his transparency, responsiveness and ability to produce results. About a year ago, I faced daunting legal ramifications due to a DWI charge. When I met with Todd for the first time, I immediately knew t...hat he was the right attorney to hire because he earned my trust; rather than telling me what I wanted to hear, he assessed the facts of my case and the surrounding circumstances and outlined the possible outcomes with brutal honesty. As promised, Todd is also available for and responsive to his clients. I have worked with attorneys in the past who were responsive before I paid them and then were extremely difficult to reach after payments for services were made. Todd remained true to his word - anytime I called, emailed or sent a text message, he responded within a two-hour time frame and I always knew where my case stood. Finally, Todd is tenured in the legal community and he was able to settle my case with a better outcome than I expected. If you find yourself in a situation with the possibility of life-altering consequences, Todd is the attorney you can trust!

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.
