Mr. Shapiro is a diligent and thorough advocate for his clients. I highly recommend him in the areas of litigation and commercial real estate.

I endorse this lawyer. Jim was kind enough to help a fellow AVVO attorney who as a family lawyer was out of his field in LLC and NV corporate law and his wisdom helped with my legal issues. He certainly knew what he was talking about and saved me and my client hours of wasted time with his kind and wise words.
