I retained Ms. Shapiro for a DUI charge after a friend strongly recommended her. During our first consultation, she was calming, non-judgmental, and no-nonsense. She was honest about potential outcomes while still committed to pursuing a best case scenario for me. My case came with some complications due to a breathalyzer refusal, but Ms. Shapiro developed a strategy to work around that and was meticulous in gathering materials to pursue this strategy. She was always quick to respond to a call or text to calm me down or inform me of any development. In the end, she got me a result that was even better than I could have hoped for. Worth every dime. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone in a similar situation or for any criminal matter.

I was referred to ashley by a colleague of mine who went through a very similar case of use of paraphernalia and marijuana , and with my particular circumstances, Ashley not only went above and beyond my expectations but surpassed them and we finished my case , I was left with an outcome that was far beyond what I truly wished for my self and I couldn’t be more thankful I came across Ashley and her services. I not only would highly recommend her but will speak very highly of her services for months to come.

Ashley represented me in a DUI case in Philadelphia. My father's a member of the Pennsylvania Bar Association and she came highly recommended by a colleague of his. From the very beginning, Ashley was meticulous. She was a great listener, sympathetic and non-judgemental. She was very professional but also extremely accessible via phone and email anytime I needed her. She communicated the process well and kept my nerves at bay. I never doubted she was doing everything in her power to get me the best deal possible. I qualified for ARD and she was still able to knock 6 months off of my probation. Also, as young adult myself, it was nice to have someone close-ish to my age that was fun and cool, but also very hardworking. I hope I never have to hire Ashley again, but would in a heartbeat.

Quick summary, I was at the beach and received with a serious charge of "unlawful taking by conveyance," that could have long term negative implications. Despite my anger of the frivolous charge and general human rights violation via unwarranted fining for profit for the beach towns, I had to resolve the matter. I was referred to Ashley by a friend, and I am so glad I hired her. From the first email to the last goodbye, she was nothing short of extraordinary! Why, first I'm sure when you reach out to an attorney there is trepidation. She immediately responded to let me know "she will help." Secondly, Ashley called or responded thru email when she said. Never making excuses. Third, she followed up and responded when I had follow up questions/concerns. Fourth, she was not pompous and condescending. Fifth, Ashley laid out my options and let me decide how to proceed with possible outcomes. Finally, Ashley delivered results, which I especially liked. "Dismissed, without Prejudice!" That's the only result I wanted, expected and communicated! I'd hire again and absolutely recommend to friends and family needing legal services in PA or NJ. Well Done!

Since hiring Ms. Shapiro I've never looked back. After our first meeting I felt well educated regarding my unfortunate situation and all of my questions were fully answered. In the several weeks of working with Ms. Shapiro she made me feel as if I was her number one priority. She's intelligent, non judgmental, and hard working which made for a very successful outcome. I know I was able to remain calm and learn from my mistakes because of Ms. Shapiro's counsel.

Ashley was able to take a very stressful situation for my family and I and handle it swiftly and diligently. We couldn't have asked for a better outcome and it was 100% thanks to Ashley and her dedication, intelligence and care. I would highly recommend her counsel.

An amazing professional with a very sharp mind. She gave my son a 2nd chance, a do-over if you will. I cannot GLORIFY this woman enough. She is the best of the best. No other description. Good lawyers are expensive but damn are they worth it! Thank you Ashley Eve Shapiro! You are AMAZING. In life everyone makes a mistake and I really feel that how the first mistake is handled, makes all of the difference in the world. Everyone should be able to erase the mistakes of their youth. Thank you so much for giving my son that opportunity.

Ms. Shapiro has done pro-bono work for my group for several years. I would recommend her for anyone who needs a criminal defense lawyer, and so would everyone in the group. She is intelligent, perceptive, has always listened to what we have to say and what we think we need, and then adds her own inimitable style of getting to the point, and getting the job done! I find her very capable and forthright, and I would take her advice, and do. She has been a great lawyer for us, and we trust her judgement and expertise.
