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.

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!!

Felony probation violation

Mr. Todd Shapiro represented me in the best way possible, I violated my probation and the district attorney was trying to throw the book at me. Well Mr. Shapiro found all evidence in my case that supported the facts that I was wrongfully filed against me. Overal the verdict was only an extension of m...y probation by 6 months, when the first offer was only jail time. My family is very happy with the outcome and I would highly recommend Todd Shapiro's services.

Great Lawyer!

Todd is the ultimate professional and a extremely knowledgeable lawyer. Starting my search for a lawyer I did not know what to look for, but once I met with a couple of Dallas lawyers he was recommended. After our first meeting I knew he was the right person to trust with basically my freedom as I ha...d been charged with a serious DUI Felony. He explained all the scenarios and possibilities and made no guarantees besides making me feel comfortable that he would put all of his efforts into ensuring I would be given a fair chance of not going to prison. Throughout this two year process he was always open and upfront. Proactive with keeping me updated and promptly returned calls. My case was not easy but Todd always stuck with it no matter what. He explored all options and ultimately helped me make the right decision. All In all Todd helped me with my case and today I'm free and continuing in my career. Most people arent fortunate as I am because they usually get multiple years in prison. With Todd's expertise my circumstances were explained to the court thoroughly and I was given probation. Not only is Todd great at his job but the staff there too especially Christy. Even though my trial ended 4 years ago I can still call Todd and the staff today with questions. He returns call and emails without hesitation with the information I need. The Shapiro law firm made it clear that I can always go to them no matter what problems or questions I may have. Whether for legal advice or a letter of recommendation. If someone is looking for a personable lawyer that will fight for you and be by your side every step of the process then Todd Shapiro is the man. I will always be grateful that God placed him in my life to help me through the most challenging time ever. Thanks again Todd and Shapiro law Firm.

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.
