Todd and Howard are wonderful!!

I can genuinely say that Mr Todd Shapiro is someone who I wholeheartedly recommend. I have personally used his services, as he came to me highly recommended, and I know of at least two other people who feel the same. Expect him to be stern and to the point, but his knowledge and care still comes off as human. I encourage you to do your research, but Mr Todd Shapiro comes with my highest of recommendations.

Todd Shapiro is absolutely the BEST there is. He truly cares about his clients and is invested in their case. Always available by phone or text and responds promptly. He is well known and respected in the community, and will fight hard for you as his client. I was blessed to have found Todd and know in my heart that I was led to him for a reason. Todd - myself and my family don't have the words to express our gratitude for all of your hard work and compassion. Thanks again !

I want to take this opportunity to apologize to Todd Shapiro and his law firm for the bad review I gave them. I was upset about the situation and I took it out on you and I apologize. You are a damn good attorney and you have helped me out before and a friend of mine. Hopefully I will never need you again but if I do will be the attorney that I call.

Had a great experience with Todd Shapiro. Highly recommend.

I had ran into a situation that needed further counseling, and had no where, or no one to turn to. I asked the Shapiro Law Firm to further assist me, and they went above and beyond to help me out. This team really cares for their clients, and will help out as much as possible. Thank you again Shapiro Law Firm. Brian P

I have had such an amazing experience. The honesty and straight forward answers are a rarity in this business. Lindsey was a blessing to work with. All questions were answered in a timely manner and with absolute professionalism. Will definitely hire if ever needed!

Great Firm

I would like to let anyone and everyone know that Todd Shapiro is the most tuned in attorney in the region. He is not only the most astute but he knows people and the inter workings of the judicial system. He has saved me from a lot of potential damage and has gave me a chance on moving in life. He might be a little proud- he has every right to be- he’s a bulldog in the courts (quietly)!

Howard Shapiro: Dishonest billing practices, lack of communication, poor representation. Had to fire him. (see edit below for my response to the owner's response) BILLING: His contract uses deceptive language to trick you into thinking the fee arrangement is something other than what it is. He does this by using language that most people assume is a typical retainer fee agreement (where any balance of funds will be returned upon completion of the case), but he buries a few lines of legalese in the contract that ensures he keeps all fees even if the case is settled quickly. This incentivizes him to do the bare minimum necessary to get a settlement (or possibly dismissal) so he can keep the entire balance of the retainer with as little effort as possible. POOR REPRESENTATION: Because of the billing structure, Howard was giving me poor legal advice and capitulating to opposing counsel at every step. Additionally, he did not review documents and submitted documents to the court that stalled the case and entered me into bad legal arrangements that any high-integrity lawyer would have never allowed. This dereliction of duty alone cost me thousands of dollars during my case. Also, he was never prepared for meetings and didn't know basic facts about my case. LACK OF COMMUNICATION: If you hire him, be prepared to be ghosted for weeks at a time. I had to email and call multiple times over several weeks before I would get a response. SUMMARY: If you still want to hire Howard, make sure you read the entirety of the contract. He will try to pressure you into signing it on the spot using car salesman-like tactics. I recommend avoiding this law firm entirely and going with a more honest and reputable law firm for you family law matters. Edit: It is clear that if you look carefully through the reviews on this site and others relating to family law matters, there is a pattern of complaints about deceptive billing, lack of professionalism, and overall poor representation, especially as it pertains to Howard. I felt obligated to warn readers what they will encounter if they hire Howard. My only grudge is that I unfortunately had to terminate Howard for very poor representation. A lawyer should be transparent with fees and always advocate for his or her client.
