Exelent Advice

Called in with a concern and helped talk me through what i would need to know.

One In a Million

As a one time client of Mr. Shapiro I found him to be an extremely forthright, intelligent, sharp-minded attorney who’s not only well versed in Federal and State law but represents his clients with the highest degree of professionalism. Mark my words, you can be assured that David is capable of w...ielding the full power of the law within the legal justice system to ensure his client’s rights are well protected. In my personal experience, he’s one of the top lawyers in Utah and most likely the country when he’s practicing on the Federal level. When I wanted a steady set of hands, a good heart, and a sharp mind to stand beside me in my time of need – I would have been hard pressed to have a better man fighting for my rights than Attorney David Shapiro.

Happy with results

We hired Mr. Shapiro for my mother and she couldn't do any better. We are extremely happy with the results Mr. Shapiro is always available phone/text/email, he has very much patience we are 5 sisters on a case of my mother and he would always have time for each one of us and never frustrated alway...s calm and with a great answer he speaks great Spanish also and that helped a lot too because my mother only speaks Spanish, I would not want to have to deal with anything criminal again but if I was to I wouldn't think about it twice to hire Mr. Shapiro. Thank you again Mr. Shapiro

Great experience

I would highly recommend Mr. Shapiro, he was very prepared and thorough. He really took a lot of the grief off my shoulders. For going through something so stressful he really made it painless and convenient. As soon as he took on my case, he was very diligent about getting back to me with any update...d information and just checking in with making sure we were on the same page. He took care of every single interaction between the courthouse and I, which takes a lot of stress out of the whole ordeal.

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.
