Laura was asked to represent me at the end of my child support obligation because my ex decided I should continue to pay for children that were no longer living at home. Had not seen any of my children in over eight years and now I was facing jail time for underpaying one child support payment. My case was a mess; parental alienation, a horrible custody battle, and unfair treatment from the court. Laura was able to change the court’s opinion (no jail time), bring to light the parental alienation issue (this helped start the communication process between me and my children) and brought finality to the never ending harassment from my ex-wife. Truly grateful for the help, she took the case when no one else would.

Laura and her team get you exactly what you need. Family law and custody issues are complicated and very difficult to understand. She sat down with me and showed me the statutes right out of the book on Colorado law, and told me step by step what I needed in order to win. She represented me against two different lawers on the other side and there was a clear and cut difference on professionalism, preparedness and overall knowledge of the law. If you are a father in Colorado looking for help with fighting for your children, heed this message, you search ends with Laura Shapiro.

Laura and her entire team were incredible! Responsive, patient and knowledgeable every step of the way. I had a very complicated divorce that involved domestic violence issues and charges. She took the time to help me understand my options, and prepared me for a very difficult journey. Her concern for my family and my safety was so greatly appreciated as I was not ready for what was ahead. She was fearless and always made sure I understood every response, filing and document. My case was finally resolved and thanks to Laura's guidance I have the ability to see a brighter future. I HIGHLY recommend Laura and her entire team.

Laura and her team are consummate professionals. I had a unique situation, as most of us do, and they took it head on and really put my son first in my divorce. I am very happy with the fair outcome and continue to use Laura with all of my large disagreements with my son's mother. Thank you Laura, et al

Laura and her team did a great job for me. I thought my divorce would be fairly easy but as it went on and unexpected difficulties arose, I was glad I had Laura to help me navigate the legal process. Caroline, her paralegal, helped me every step of the way and made it easy. Working with Caroline was like working with a friend. Every time I had a question I would have a response within the hour and often in 5 to 10 minutes. I felt Laura really knew her stuff and I was confident the outcome I received was the best I could have gotten. By the end I felt that although divorce was the most difficult thing I’d ever experienced, Laura and her team made it as easy and as painless as possible. Hiring them was the best decision I could have made

I’m a previous positive reviewer, but another post-decree situation came up which illustrates the difference between the Shapiro Law Firm and the others. My ex-wife’s new “big law firm” attorney burst on the scene by surprise, attempting to take high ground by serving me a very questionable contempt citation alleging that I culpably refused payment for my son’s dental bills and harassed my ex-wife. Laura Shapiro needed about 45 minutes with me to get the background, review the documents and distill a strategy which was firmly grounded in case law and her experience. Laura helped me clear up the payment issue in just a few days. Opposing council persisted months longer, anyway--calling up the collective effort of two other big firm attorneys, threatening unnecessary hearings, future motions on child support, and sending my ex-wife’s legal bills soaring into five figures. Opposing council ultimately withdrew the contempt complaint, but next requested a Court order that I pay my ex-wife’s now immense legal bill. Ms. Shapiro and associate Mr. Zarnowski responded as required, keeping to the proven strategy and legal precedents. The Court denied opposing council’s fee request—leaving opposing council entirely emptyhanded of any victory on her demands and complaints. Opposing council resigned less than 24 hours later. What opposing council ACTUALLY accomplished could have been easily achieved with a cordial $100 call to Ms. Shapiro at the beginning! Ms. Shapiro’s and her team’s fees were considerably less than half of what opposing council charged my ex because Laura and her staff didn’t waste a penny on addressing irrelevant drama.

Laura is an expert in her field of law. She will give you unwavering support. Her staff is also very knowledgeable and caring. My ex-husband pulled all the stops, and I mean ALL. Every penny he could try to argue he did. He was also emotionally abusive - Laura (and her team) fought for me and gave me the support I needed to continue fighting during this lengthy divorce (>1 year) with children involved. Equally important, she will tell you if the law does not support your position or desires. I could go on and on. In short, with Laura, you will be hiring an expert, caring, knowledgeable lawyer. She is also ALWAYS prompt and timely in responding to you which is definitely not the case of some other lawyers. To Laura, you are a person, not just another divorce case, and it shows in the results. THANK YOU!!

I can't imagine what my life would be like without Laura Shapiro's help. Like many of us I ended up in a relationship that went sideways. When your friends talk about horrible divorce stories… I'm one of those. It is an understatement to say that I owe my current HAPPY life and state of mind to Laura Shapiro. Laura is smart, experienced, tenacious and above all compassionate. I would not have my kids or my career without her. When you really really really need somebody to help you, call her.

I have secured Laura's services twice for custodial issues framed by very difficult and accusatory circumstances which were harmful to my child. Needless to say, when the well-being of your child is on the line, you seek out the best counsel possible regardless of the personal sacrifice required. In the latter case, the circumstances also involved an unethical and financially-driven opposing counsel. I feel I received the best possible representation from Laura in both cases. Her level of experience is obvious, and her ethics and professionalism are unimpeachable. Her knowledge of both family law and potential courses of legal action and their possible outcomes is incredibly broad. She will not humor hysterics or tangentials or conjecture (which is a very good thing, despite the emotional drain a client encounters during proceedings like this). Rather she will tenaciously concentrate on discovery, facts, and possible legal avenues in an attempt to secure the best outcome for her client. In addition, her supporting paralegal staff is excellent, being both friendly and professional. Because of Laura's representation, I have maintained full custody and decision making for my daughter despite loathsome and disgusting accusations and behaviors leveled by her mother. Had this not happened, my daughter would be far worse off for it, and I owe Laura a debt of gratitude for her services. I can't imagine receiving better or more professional representation in my cases. I highly recommend Laura when you need the very best family law representation and are willing to make the personal sacrifice to get it.
