Resolved my Felonies

Steven was referred to me by friend who had her felonies resolved with no jail time. Well long story short after after I absconded for 2 years on my 4th PV for 2nd Degree felony drug case, 3rd degree theft (Stolen Car)? My P.O in SL recommended 365 close case. After I I hired Steven out of California he was able to set me up a video court within 11 days after hiring Steven Shapiro my case was terminated fines transferred to California. No probation, no drug test, no warrants. Words can’t explain how delightfully surprised I was by his capabities of demanding an audience from Judge Blanch and and the prosecutors via video court from California! I hired Steven April 20th 2020 and case was resolved by May 1st. Yes I’ve hired other attorneys, can’t say I ever received service so legit, quick and hands on. Even thru this Covid Pandemic. Once again Thank you for your Super Serivce to say the least . JR

Great Lawyer

Straight forward and to the point. Has great connections and he doesn’t beat around the bush when he talks. He’s the real deal and I am so happy that I found him. Highly recommend him!

Thank you Steven Shapiro!

I was fortunate to get a referral for Steven in a time of need. Steven was professional, caring and very helpful from start to finish. I could tell I was dealing with a professional with expertise in the field. Steven always took the time to call me in the phone or meet with me in person when needed and always gave me honest and helpful advice, and spoke articulately and professionally in court with me throughout several appointments. I would recommend Mr. Shapiro to anyone in need of an excellent lawyer. If he can’t meet your specific needs, I have no doubt that he could refer to another lawyer who can. Thank you for all of your help Steven!

Review for Stephen Shapirp

I reside out of state and needed a attorney to assist a family member who was in desperate need. Mr. Shapiro went out of his way to obtain information for me to include visiting my loved one to assure me that she was alright since I was unable to obtain any information. This information was helpful both on an emotional level and provided pertinent facts. He offered his services, but was never pushy about hiring him. He is direct, knowledgeable, and stays in contact with his client. It is obvious that he is respected in the courtroom and we are very satisfied with the outcome and his representation. I highly reccomend Mr. Shapito. He truly is a attorney you would want to represent you in a time of need. Thanks Mr. Shapiro@

"If I was charged with a crime I'd hire Steve as my attorney. I've worked as a prosecutor, public defender and private attorney and Steve is one of the very best I've seen anywhere. Out of the hundreds of attorneys I've worked with or against, Steve is the one I'd put my faith in if I had my freedom at risk. There is no BS with Steve. He is direct and knows what he is talking about. He gets real results and knows how to fight and how to bargin. Results matter and he has a team of attorneys and staff in place that he will use to get best outcome possible. He has the respect of his peers and the judges and that makes a real deference in getting results."
