Rude from the very outset

I'm sure Ms. Shapiro is a very intelligent, busy lawyer, but in no way does that warrant the rude rebuff from her. I was willing to pay 4x the fee she initially mentioned for her time, but from the very outset she disregarded the details of my case and did not want to take the time to hear what I was... going for or the complications. I decided to not take her services. Honestly baffled at her complete lack of decency or patience. She's competing with the entire city full of lawyers and has apparently forgotten that.

Sadly, since you chose to remain anonymous, I have no ability to comment on what you contacted me about or when we had a discussion. Perhaps I was in the middle of a jury trial or family emergency? If your issue was something I felt that I was able to help you with, I am sure I would've done my best to encourage you to set up an appointment in my office in person. I would be more than happy to talk with you "offline" if you would like to address your concerns with me by direct email or phone. This is not a very fair "review" of my legal abilities since I was never your attorney. I wish you the best in your case.

So grateful

I say so grateful because I was so lucky to be able to hire Lisa for my felony case! The odds were against me, my third felony my priors were haunting me and on a drug charge I honestly did not commit, Lisa first and foremost made me feel comfortable, she did not judge me also she used to be a prosec...utor so she was very comfortable in the courtroom and was the first attorney to dive right in as soon as we got to court, 5 months later my case was completely dismissed!!!!!! She made sure to constantly point out to the DA why they would not win my case If we went to court, her consultation is what made me choose her she is very direct and very smart no beating around the bush! If you are looking for a attorney that is on your side 100% there should be n question in hiring Lisa!!

Great attorney-Great outcome

Lisa Shapiro Strauss did everything she said she would do for me and more. She went above and beyond and didn't treat me like a criminal. She has a huge heart and was very understanding about what was going on with me and my situation and wanted to listen and hear more. She truly cares. I highly reco...mmend using her to get the job done. She helped me and can help you too.

Lisa Shapiro

Lisa was by far the nicest and smartest and most compassionate lawyer that I have came in contact with. She was very prompt and to the point on all issues on hand. She kept me informed talked to me in ways that I could understand her. I would highly recommend her to anyone and she will be thr first p...erson I call if there is ever a problem. It was such a blessing to have her in my corner. She fought for me until the end . Lisa approached me as a friend first and a client second, which made the experience very comfortable even though it was a trying time in my life. Lisa is an angel sent from above. She was amazing!!!!!!

Houston Client

Despite numerous mistakes on my behalf , immaturity and almost an otherwise guarantee that I would face some serious consequences. Lisa helped me propose and settle on an agreement that ultimately allowed me to stay out of jail and avoid more serious charges.
