A blessing!

We found ourselves in a tough situation with our child facing a strike felony with a sentence of up to 7 years. I made several calls to find an attorney we were comfortable with but had not made a decision due to not really knowing what was to come and how fast the initial court date was scheduled fr...om the time of arrest. We went to the first court date with a public defender and later received a call from Mr. Shapiro's office to ask how things had gone (I had mentioned our court date the first time I called their office). When I received that call, I had plenty of questions that were answered without rush. We ended up scheduling a time to meet to discuss the case. We found out that Juvenile cases highly differ from adult cases when it comes to how they are handled, decision making, trial etc. We always felt comfortable, he worked with us on legal fees and was always very responsive whether it be emails or phone calls. We never felt brushed off. Our child was released, placed on probation and given the opportunity to have the record sealed after successful completion. We really feel that Mr. Shapiro truly cares about his clients and I would highly recommend him to anyone facing legal issues.

Glad we were able to protect your child's future. We all make mistakes, especially when we are young. Believe me, if I got caught for every irresponsible thing i did (even deep into my 20s)....

I could not have asked for more

David succeeded in getting my DUI charges dismissed in what began as an unpromising and challenging situation. He understood my terms and entertained all of my off-the-wall questions in a professional, prompt, and helpful manner. I felt such a weight lift from my chest when going into his office and ...having him lay out the reality for me, he has confidence in the proposed outcome but stays realistic – the other office staff I interacted with were also fantastic. David understood the terms I was willing to negotiate on and used those to attain what we both wanted from the case. Moreover, he is not one of the jail-mail or mass-communication lawyers, I found him through his online presence (Quora, here, Google), which is refreshingly up-to-date. Thank you so much!

Appreciate the appreciation....particularly of the entire team. While the Firm in 2020 is very different from what is was in 2016, in terms of the makeup of the team, our fundamental principles remain the same: helping good people regain control of their future when charged with a crime...while providing second-to-none service at each step of the process.

Case Dismissed

A few months ago I made a stupid mistake and found myself charged with a misdemeanor. I contacted David Shapiro and received a response right away with there summary review of the case and approach. Others did not even get back to me. Through the process, I was kept informed and told not to worry. ...After charges were filed, I met with David again to discuss what kind of options we had for the deal we wanted to propose although he still was going for a dismissal. After the first hearing, david called me to tell me the good news....the charges were dismissed with only a minor note on an existing DUI probation case. What a relief and I have never had such great service and communication from an Attorney before. Thanks David!!

While we would hope our level of service would be the norm for attorneys, we have learned over the years it is not. In fact, it far exceeds the norm. And our clients should expect nothing less.

Excellent attorney-no charges filed!

I found myself in an unfortunate encounter with law enforcement. Despite very obvious evidence supporting my innocence, I suddenly found myself facing very serious charges, something that had never happened to me before. I was scared, stressed, and depressed about my future. However, I knew I could ...fight with an attorney. After interviewing several attorneys I settled on Mr. Shapiro for several reasons: 1.) he has an excellent track record (nearly every single yelp, avvo, and google review he has is positive, which is not the case for many attorneys) 2.) He and his staff are non-judgmental. Despite not having all the facts, some attorneys I met with regarding my case were very dismissive and condescending, which undermined my confidence in their ability to represent me effectively. However, Mr. Shapiro (and David M), were focused on how to defend my case, reserving judgment until they had the facts in place. 3.) fair pricing- some attorneys quoted me more than $1000 what Mr. Shapiro quoted. 4.) Most importantly he gets results. No charges were filed in my case and I never had to go to court! In summary, I would highly recommend Mr. Shapiro. From my experience he is a quality attorney who tries to obtain the most favorable results for his clients. He was always very responsive to my inquiries (never took more than a day to respond) and he is a straight shooter that will not make promises he cannot keep. I highly recommend Mr. Shapiro for any criminal defense matters. He saved my life and I am confident he can save yours too.

While my firm is definitely not going to be the least expensive firm potential clients will speak to, we are likely not to be the most expensive either. However, I stand firmly in the assertion that our representation is as good, if not better, than any other firm out there.

First class service

Mr. Shapiro is a highly skilled criminal defense attorney who will defend your case with care and consideration. My family has used his services several times with the best possible outcome. You can expect thorough, easy to understand explanations of court proceedings and your best options. He is ...confident and comfortable in the court room and you can rest easy knowing he is on your case. I would recommend Mr. Shapiro for your legal defense.
