With Much Gratitude To You & Your Staff

Almost 2 1/2 months ago, I was involved in a possible criminal charge case. It was surreal, life altering & emotionally consuming experience not only for myself but it affected my whole family as well. I prayed to the divine powers above & tried to find a legal support that can support & represent me... during this ordeal. Mr Shapiro was referred by a family friend. I could not had a better choice. From my first contact with his office his efficient staff had me scheduled to meet with him via phone within 2 hours. From our first meeting onward, I was totally impressed with the amount of professionalism he had shown. He projected competence & exudes comfidence during our conversation. He had shown a good listening ear to all our worries & concerns. He has gone that extra mile to meet with us outside and off office hours due to COVID imposed restriction. It was tremendously reassuring to meet & talk face to face with someone to whom you are counting on to bring light to my darkness. The best attribute his office has is the amount of compassion projected by conversation whether through phone calls or emails were so much appreciated during the most emotionally draining that I ever had. It just gave me that level of comfort that Mr. Shapiro & his staff cares. Mr. Shapiro’s legal assistant “ Allysa” has the most soothing voice. Every time that I get a call from her it did trigger some palpitation on my part but she has a way of conveying updates from Mr. Shapiro that gives you calm. Today 4/15 is a memorable & tremendously happy day. I received the best news ever in my lifetime, no criminal charges will be filed against me. I thank God for answering to all our prayers and above my greatest gratitude to you Mr. Shapiro, for all the support & guidance you gave me outside the courtroom . Thank you to Alyssa as well.

We were thrilled to see this review, Corazon, but even happier when we got the news from law enforcement about your case not being recommended for criminal prosecution. All the best to you and your family!

I hope I don't, but if I need a lawyer again, I'll go with David Shapiro again.

He, and those in his office, helped me navigate a pretty difficult situation and turn it into a more favorable outcome.

Very helpful to me

Mr. Shapiro and the people in his office worked hard on my misdemeanor case, working with the city attorney to get me as good a deal as I thought possible. He also recommended a counselor who I found very helpful. I am very grateful to Mr. Shapiro and his office for their efforts on my behalf.

Oftentimes the greatest value we provide to our clients is connecting them with the right people (i.e. therapists, treatment programs, etc.) which will help them in so many facets of life aside from the criminal case.

Responsive

This is the best attorney you could have in San Diego hands down. Mr. Shapiro assisted us in a DUI and I cannot say enough kind words about what he did for my family member. He would respond quickly to our calls and questions. Got us the best possible outcome in our case and could not be more grat...eful! To have known him is a blessing and I applaud his professionalism. If you need a criminal defense attorney he is your guy, he will give you 110%

Assertive, no non-sense attorney with a great staff. Dropped DV Charge

David and his staff are some of the best people I have worked with. I walked in with a DV case, and not only were they understanding but very informative about what was to come. Being in the situation, as charged with a criminal offense really set me to an all time emotional low. I was reassured by t...he staff that everything would be taken care of and that I was in good hands. They were right. I provided some supporting documentation to help with the pre-case negotiations and David did the rest. My case was DROPPED! David also made it very affordable to be his client, and many attorneys are not so open to payment plans and other terms for retention. I am so thankful that I found David through avvo.com. There are many options, I called at least a dozen, and I am 100% satisfied. David and his staff are very responsive, always able to answer the phone or send you an email. I know David works late nights because he has personally emailed me after hours. He knows the system, he knows network, and he will help you!! He always called once he found out something new, and was never annoyed when I called him for an update in between. David has the professionalism and respect from the peers in his area, often which takes 20+ years to obtain. If you are faced with a charge, give him a call. I initially met with David M., who also was A+ in my opinion. He was also very knowledgeable and amendable. He took great notes which made me confident that my case was taken in full seriousness. If I could even find one thing wrong with anything, it was that they opened the door at 1:03PM, after there announced break from 12-1PM. You can't get a better person on your side, get David!!
