When I had a case coming up, my previous lawyer had to drop out due to things coming up in their personal life that wouldn't allow them to attend my court date; I was left without a lawyer and only 2 weeks to my court date. That's when I contacted Shaprio Zwanetz & Lake and talked to Justin Lake. Despite the quickly approaching court date, Justin was able to without hesitation, come onto my case and stand by my side and help me during these stressful and difficult times. He is extremely responsive and understanding of my situation and was able to gather all the evidence and information regarding my case and more in an extremely quick and proficient manner. His professionalism and knowledge of the system was top-notch and really helped me out of a stressful time, as having him by my side was the best decision I ever could have made. Hopefully I will never have to go through this again, but if I ever do, I will definitely go back to Justin Lake for assistance and highly recommend him to anyone that needs a lawyer on their side. I thank you so much for all of your help Justin, you really made everything so much better!

Working with David Zwanetz and the team at Shapiro, Zwanetz and Lake (SZL) was the experience you hope you will get with a lawyer but is all too rare. From the first phone call to the final resolution of the case, SZL was pleasant to work with, knowledgeable, skilled, and accessible. We called David after having had a very bad experience with another lawyer on a DUI case. David assured us that he could take over the case and immediately got in touch with the correct people at the court to straighten things out and get the ball rolling. The legal assistants, Kristina and Lauren, were always available by phone and email to answer questions promptly. I felt very comfortable calling or emailing them with even the littlest question. One of the reasons I think we had the best outcome was that David is honest and above board with his clients, as well as the people in the courts.. The judges and State Attorneys know that David has done the work to get the facts, so when he works with them, they know his presentation is thorough. David worked directly with the State's Attorney on our case, and the violation was dismissed. David advised us well – about postponing the case briefly to our advantage, and by communicating with the State's Attorney before the scheduled hearing, which resulted in the hearing being cancelled and the violation dismissed. Wow! It really does matter who is representing you, even if it is a “first time” offense. His fees were also reasonable and transparent. We paid one price at the beginning when engaging him, and even though there may have been more work involved, we were never asked to pay more. Don’t take a chance with attorneys that mail you fliers after you are charged with a crime. They may be cheaper in dollars, but not in your peace of mind nor the outcome of your case.
