Outstanding Commitment to Excellence

I was looking to hire an Attorney for my Bankruptcy case five years ago and I met Attorney Shapiro. She went above and beyond provided me with an outstanding service which far exceeded my expectation. Anna is truly wonderful and making sure everything was up to her high standard. Anna and her staff w...orked tirelessly and their commitment to excellence before and after my case was finish. I truly appreciate their dedication, caring, hard work and professionalism that they provide consistently.

Shapiro Law Group is the right choice!

Shapiro Law Group is the right choice! Anna Shapiro is very intelligent, friendly and honest. I am very thankful for choosing Anna Shapiro/Shapiro Law Group to represent me in my Divorce nightmare. Anna always involved me and kept me up to date on my case. She is always reachable and responds prom...ptly. She handled issues efficiently to save me time and money. She and Shapiro Law Group have a world of knowledge not only in family law but in many other areas. I highly recommend Shapiro Law Group to anyone!

Divorce Lawyer

I would like to thank Anna Shapiro and her team for the great support and effort put in on my Divorce Case. Everyone was very professional and really made me feel as part of the team not just a client. The way you kept me informed of all options and costs was excellent. Tiffany Haines was extremel...y supportive and made this difficult process much easier. Picking Shapiro Law Group to represent me was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I would recommend anyone looking for a Law firm to represent them in their divorce to chose Shapiro Law Group.

Bankruptcy

5 years ago my wife and I went thru some financial issues. We really had no where else to turn!! My wife was in court, while I was in another and we truly did not know where to turn until Anna approached my wife, unaware of our issue and asked my wife if she was ok. At this point, Anna was awesome...!! She made us feel welcome, and truly felt like she really cared about us as people and not just a client. Anna was very informative and completely thorough and navigated us thru the bankruptcy. Each and every phone call, and or email was answered promptly and we always felt like we were her only client!! 5 years later my family is ready to move on and Anna has a client for life!!! I could not recommend anyone more highly and I am thrilled to be able to write this review!!

Immigration Matter

I hired Anna for my Citizenship Test, I did all the work, including application process, medical, gathering all documents, even mailed the application. So I only needed her the day of the interview. We agreed on one time fee, and would charge me $225.00/ hour for addition in case my case would take m...ore than one session, we also agreed to pay one another back: I would pay her if it takes more than 4 hours and she would do the same in case if it is less than 4 hours. I've already had my appointment with the INS, she only needed to be there with me at the time of the interview in case of "objective questions". Anyway two days before my appointment, she called me to tell me she needed $2700.00 more before she could go with me. Make my story short she kept the upfront money I gave her and never came to the interview. For this I would never recommend her even to my immediate enemy.

I’m so sorry to hear about the service you were provided, but I think you have me confused with another attorney. I do not even practice Immigration law and your situation doesn’t seem at all familiar. I suggest you contact Avvo to see if they can help you find the attorney you are looking for. Good luck in all your future endeavors.
