Unwavering Client Commitment Through A Complex Employment Matter - Results Delivered

The team of SLG attorneys, that took my case, had a measured confidence that was backed by their deep experience in the area of employment law and upheld with the results that they delivered on. I came to SLG during one of the lowest points in my career; having experienced an incredibly challenging e...mployment situation, which had taken a devastating toll on my physical and mental health. I felt alone and in need of a light in the dark tunnel that I found myself in. My SLG team not only illuminated the path forward, guiding me every step of the way, they upheld their commitment to my best interests with dignity and respect. Their empathy and clear communication allowed me to make decisions for myself that supported my goals in being able to move on with my life and avoid a longer timeline typical with a lawsuit and potential litigation. The accessible and transparent fee structure allowed me to get the support that I needed and engage with the team’s strategy; demanding justice for the situation that I had endured. While I assumed that I was not one of their biggest cases, nevertheless, I felt valued and treated as though I was. My SLG team was incredibly responsive and kept me abreast of any changes during the negotiation phase. Their multidisciplinary expertise across the team allowed them to maximize on all points of the separation agreement and settlement. I could not have asked for a better experience with a law firm. With the case closed, I have moved on with my life understanding that the true miracle in my situation was having SLG to skillfully usher me to a new life, free from the injustice that I had been tangled in.

Best Money I Never Spent

Most attorneys find a way to drain you....its kinda their specialty. Anna Shapiro told we twice in two consultations that I was on the right track and not in need of her services. Best $590 I have ever spent!!!!

Exceptional service could not be more pleased

As a first time injury client, I had absolutely no clue where to start. I was extremely nervous as I was told I would need a major surgery and medical bills had already begun piling up. I found Shapiro Law Group online and I am so pleased I did. They immediately jumped on the case and from the firs...t meeting I knew I was in good hands. After they gathered all the information they needed from me, they ran with it. It was stress free for me and in the end, Shapiro Law earned me an incredible settlement. I hope this review finds and comforts all those who feel lost and overwhelmed when incidents and accidents happen and understand they will be in great hands with a top notch law group like Shapiro Law.

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.

Excellent Divorce Lawyer!

I have had the pleasure of meeting with Anna Shapiro and I knew right away I was in good hands. She guided me through a divorce with great insight, knowledge and experience. I trusted her completely and I highly recommend her.
