"Laura Shapiro and her team are the best! I unfortunately wasted time and money with many other attorneys before finding Shapiro Family Law. Along with the needed knowledge and legal understanding Mrs. Shapiro and her team showed compassion, caring, and were truly engaged in my case far beyond what I experienced with other more expensive firms. Don’t make the same mistakes I made, go to Shapiro first!"

"Laura handled my divorce 16 years ago. Along with legal excellence, I received superb advice and recommendations for other necessary partners such as child advocates, counselors, and others. Laura was attentive, kind, and set me up solidly for future personal and financial success. I will always be grateful for Laura's efforts on my behalf."
Tara Kirin
"Laura Shapiro and her staff were great to work with. They strike the right balance between aggressive and realistic. Laura is knowledgable, confident, and unflappable. The paralegal, Caroline, was extremely helpful and accurate in everything she did. That was a great relief after working with other law offices who did not have that asset. We are grateful for the work they did to change our lives for the better."

"Very knowledgeable, understanding, and efficient! I have used Shapiro Family Law on two occasions now - a divorce and then a custody battle. In both cases, everyone I dealt with was extremely professional, knew their stuff, and worked with nothing but compassion through an extremely rough time. I could email or call them at any time and get immediate responses to my questions or concerns, the billing was always fair and honest, and the time billed was always at the lowest reasonable rate. I felt through the entire process fully supported, defended, and understood. The Shapiro team negotiated strongly for me, gave great advice all the way through, and had a very strong and professional presence during the court hearings.
As a father going through a divorce and a custody battle, I felt the odds were very much unfairly stacked against me. Having the Shapiro team on my side evened the odds out and allowed me to win back my family.
I can't thank them all enough for bringing hope and stability back to my life and my children's."

"The Shapiro Law Firm achieved some amazing results for my son and me in a triply-complicated parenting time, decision-making, and child support case. The collaborative environment of the firm’s members was instrumental in achieving those results. Laura and Paralegal Kristi Jensen worked together to inform me on options for settlement pre-trial and kept me advised on how to save money through the process. Kristi proposed some outstandingly creative settlement terms beyond the legalities of the case. When all serious avenues of negotiation failed, Laura took the case confidently to court. Laura’s litigation skills focused precisely around the points of law, and her reputation with the court allowed me to leave the courtroom with all of the changes I had asked for, including an 80% reduction of my child support. A three stage appeal followed, and that’s when the writing and research skills of associate James Cordes entered the scene. His briefs emphasized the important points of law while saving me a great deal of money. In the end, and without expensive follow-up appearances, the judge issued a second and more detailed set of findings which gave me even more than I had originally asked for. That changed the tone of my case and created a new future for my family. James also continues to help from time to time as required, and he is a very pragmatic and practical attorney."
