Howard Jeffrey Shopenn

My family was referred to Howard by a close family friend. Howard apparently represented them on an attempt murder charge and had the case dismissed. We hired Howard for my sister who was in federal custody facing over ten years for having over 80lbs of cocaine. Howard came in and saved not only m...y sister's life but our family. He never made us any promises. He did promise us that he was going to do everything in his power for her. After about 9 months of working the case my sister was sentence to 18 months. We could not believe what he was able to do for her. He fought hard and never gave up. He would not take no for an answer. My family is forever indebted to Howard. He is as good as they come. I would recommend him to anyone.

I would like to announce on what a great experience I encountered with Howard Shopenn and his team. I am very thankful for all his hard work and dedication towards my aunt and uncles case. This case how ever was very difficult and challenging it involved large amounts of narcotics and fire arms. ...Howard was very helpful and made everything possible to make the situation better. He really made me feel comfortable on choosing him to represent my family. One of the many qualities of Howard was that he never “sugar coated” things and was honest when the situation became challenging. I couldn't be any happier with the results. Howard made a huge impact on my family’s life. I thank you Howard & team for all your great help and guidance with my family. You are the best lawyer!

I paid Mr.Shopenn 15k retainer for illegal search&seizure case. After a couple of hearings,he demands another 15k, right before court session, to continue. Under duress, and with promises of "sewing this thing up",he gets his check. (yes, im stupid. should have read the signs then) After the s...ession,(included in the retainer) with no progress, he tells me the only way for me is: Plead guilty at the next courtsession as to being an addict, and enroll myself in rehab, which will show co-operation, thus ensure just a wrist slap. After thinking it over a few days, and consulting another attorney , i told Mr. Shopenn that i am unhappy with his services, and to refund me, since ALL services had been FULLY paid for. He then told me that he had allready drawn up a "Next" plan, and the cost will go to that. 15k for WHAT?? At the next session, with my new attorney,the judge called the case nonsense,dismissing it. PROVING Howard Shopenn not only a Fraud, but an Idiot.
