    Mr. Shapiro and his team did an amazing job at exonerating me from my felony charges here in San Diego. They were relentless with the law enforcement and DA offices, and they essentially saved my life and career. The entire office also has impeccable customer service. Would highly recommend these professionals to anyone accused of a crime. A++++

    In my time of need my attorney Stefano really stepped up to the plate for me and my family. Not only did he provide professional and outstanding legal support, but him and his team went above and beyond to do what they could to get the desired outcome for my case. Stefano is a down to earth person, not only was he sympathetic but also empathetic to me and my situation. I was treated like a close friend while he and his team remained completely professional. This was my first experience with hiring an attorney and I am grateful it was with Stefano and the Law Office of David P. Shaprio.

    Mr. Shapiro has represented me in two separate matters. He is nothing short of amazing, and the enthusiasm towards his clients is proven in a single conversation. His work ethic is outstanding.

    Hopefully you won't need me and the team for a third time, but if you do you know we will have your back as we always have. Appreciate the kind words and are happy we were able to resolve both of your cases over the years for excellent outcomes, especially coming from where both cases started!

    It was a very pleasant experience to work with them during such an awful time, their professionalism and kind treatment were greatly appreciated. During this difficult time for me and my family, Stefano and his team were kind and made me feel like I was in a safe place when I most needed it. Each question that I had were answered in a quick fashion and I was never discouraged from asking them. Stefan kept me in the loop every step of the way and gave me great advice as to what the next step in the process would be. Me and my family will always be thankful to Stefano and his team, I'm thankful that there are good lawyers like Stefano helping out people who really need it.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

  • Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
  • Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
  • Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
  • City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
