I was going through a difficult divorce (which I'm sure most are) it was a very hard time, and the other side was always playing dirty with lies and constant tricks up their sleeves. I'm so grateful for Darren, because he was always fair and did the right thing, and that's what helped us win along with Darren being professional but at the same time very caring. I appreciate his help, knowledge and thoroughness. Darren will always take your call, talk and explain things to you, which is important because most of us don't know or even understand all the laws, and how they work etc. If your going through a divorce (even a messy one) I highly recommend Mr. Shapiro. Thank you so much again!

I realized my ex had no intention to contribute to my son's college costs. I was feeling frustrated and defeated. I needed help. I called Darren Shapiro and left a voice message. Promptly, Darren called me back and spoke to me at length. He asked questions about my case, he asked me to fax him my paperwork . He spent time looking my case over calling me, discussing, costs, with no hidden cost. He not only gave me exactly what I needed to proceed in court, he gave me respect, compassion and piece of mind! Thank You Darren

I contacted Darren Shapiro for information regarding the direct adoption process of my son. He explained the process to me in a clear manner and was patient with me as I asked questions. Throughout the process, he explained what may happen and how we will approach each step. He also offered me ways to cut costs and was understanding when I needed a payment schedule. From start to finish, he was professional, kind and encouraging during a stressful time. I was able to get the adoption finalized before my son's first birthday! I thank God for leading me to Darren Shapiro!

From our initial consultation through subsequent meetings, Mr Shapiro was extremely responsive, ethical, and knowledgeable. Thank you for your help!

I hired Darren Shapiro to handle my divorce. My expectations were low due to the fact, that I have family who have had bad experiences with legal counsel. To my surprise, I found not only the absolute perfect fit for my situation but Darren showed me, that not all attorneys are created equal. He was always honest with me ( even when I didn't want to hear it), understanding of the emotion toll my divorce was having on me, and most importantly very skilled and knowledgeable about the many laws and statutes that accompany divorce in NY State.

Darren Shapiro is a true professional. I Found him online and have used him twice, both with good outcomes. He is knowledgeable, professional and dedicated. I would recommend him to anyone.

Sometimes it feels like men have a big disadvantage when it comes to divorce, child custody and child support issues. Many find and feel that women get the benefit of the doubt when it comes to family law. I am very thankful thought that I had Darren to represent me in what was a hard fought divorce. Darren responded quickly and was professional from the beginning to the end of the case. He promptly got back to me, the lawyer’s on the other side, or the court. He kept the case moving along, in a good way for me and my children, despite having to deal with my ex changing attorneys multiple times. There is nothing more important to me that my children. Darren saved my kids future. I got full residential custody of my kids which was very important for me and them. He successfully negotiated that I am able to keep all of my future income to use to take care of my children and not pay any maintenance. I am so pleased with Darren and the results he got for me and my children!

Helped me get unfounded allegations amended in a family matter fairly quickly and was informative of the process the entire way. I couldn't ask for a better outcome.

It was a pleasure working with Darren Shapiro during a very difficult divorce mediation. He is extremely knowledgeable, understanding, and prepared to work out the best outcome for both parties involved. He was always available to answer any questions or concerns I had. His fees were exactly as stated and fair. I highly recommend him. It was great to have someone who understands how difficult the process can be and really care about your future and well being.

Darren is an extremely dedicated, professional, and knowledgeable attorney who I would highly recommend to anyone in need of divorce counsel. I contacted him after having met with several other divorce attorneys to represent me in a Domestic Dispute matter. While the others seemed interested only in getting my retainer, Darren took the time to actually read the documents I had brought and offered solid and understandable advice. And when representing me in court he ended up having the matter dismissed. I immediately retained him for the ensuing Divorce and Custody case I was facing. Once again Darren helped to make a long and stressful situation much easier to handle, especially given the fact that the opposing side was more than a little difficult to deal with. At times I thought that he was not only my attorney, but my therapist and friend. After all was done, I ended up getting the custody I wanted and an Agreement that was fair to everyone involved. If I'm ever in a situation where I need an attorney again, Darren will be the first person I call.

My name is Monica. My husband and I worked with Darren Shapiro on changing our son's name. From the very beginning he was very professional, prompt and courteous. The entire legal process took just 2 months. He made the process seem very easy and he explained things in a way that was very simple for us to understand. We are very pleased with his services and would highly recommend him. It was an absolute pleasure working with him.

If you require an attorney who understands hard-work, dedication, superior exemplary attention to detail AND won the case involving a highly complex intra-state case between Texas and New York family court -look no further than Darren Shapiro. I am endlessly thankful to Darren for his knowledge, professionalism and expertise with the notable consideration that I am located in Texas however my ex-husband is located in New York City. Darren genuinely listened to the details of my case and handled all of the filings, went to court on my behalf, and truly dominated when it came down to settling of the case. Darren's handling of my case didn't just end with the post-case settlement, his hard-work paved the way for the Texas Office of Attorney General's Office to further their case against a repeat offender. Again, I am endlessly thankful for Darren's knowledge and skill in transitioning my case into a successful positive outcome. Most importantly, my two children have the sincerest appreciation for Darren as he single-handedly changed the direction of their lives.
