Laura Emma Shapiro

Laura is an expert in her field of law. She will give you unwavering support. Her staff is also very knowledgeable and caring. My ex-husband pulled all the stops, and I mean ALL. Every penny he could try to argue he did. He was also emotionally abusive - Laura (and her team) fought for me and gav...e me the support I needed to continue fighting during this lengthy divorce (>1 year) with children involved. Equally important, she will tell you if the law does not support your position or desires. I could go on and on. In short, with Laura, you will be hiring an expert, caring, knowledgeable lawyer. She is also ALWAYS prompt and timely in responding to you which is definitely not the case of some other lawyers. To Laura, you are a person, not just another divorce case, and it shows in the results. THANK YOU!!

Laura Shapiro and her staff arrived just in time in my complicated and difficult parental responsibilities, custody and divorce case. I found her to be an ethical, skilled, creative, and transparent attorney to work with. Her support staff shares her passion for justice. She listened to my concern...s and was able to relate the fine points of the law to my case. Placing the case in her hands reduced my stress to a bare minimum. Laura helped me to select credible experts for the case while her staff kept aware of deadlines so the case moved forward smoothly. As the trial date neared, Laura and her staff sought a constructive and fair settlement using a variety of creative solutions in the best interests of my son and me. They explained in detail how these terms could be beneficial to everyone. When an obstinate opposing counsel refused to negotiate a settlement in good faith and stonewalled her, Laura was very confident and at ease in going forward with litigating the case. Her trial management and advocacy skills were flawless. She kept the judge’s attention focused on the key issues pertaining to my son’s welfare and the realities of my parenting skills despite opposing counsel’s attempt to create sideshows and insinuations. In the end, we received a ruling from the judge that was far beyond my expectations and gave me a tremendous sense of relief. Her overall case management efficiency helped keep my fees lower than that of my ex-wife's attorney. I highly recommend Laura to anyone with a family law matter, but I recommend her with greatest enthusiasm to men and fathers who are seeking settlement of complex divorce and custody cases.

I used Laura about 9 years ago for divorce court. I am writing now because she still haunts me how bad her service was. She was late for our court date. She was disorganized and when I met her at her office for prep work she had nothing in order. She asked the other party two questions and that was i...t. I had to do most of the work myself. One of the most important financial documents she didn't include in the court exhibits. I finally got her to insert it and she stuck it in the very back and copied it crooked. I spent a ton of money on her and all I got were three huge binders of copied documents. I am writing this only because I want others to know not to waste their hard earned money. I have posted this review previously but it seems to have disappeared.
