I had an unfortunate situation which Joe was able to turn into something positive for my family. I was thankful how quickly he would respond to our MANY emails or phone calls. He took into consideration all of our concerns and worked so hard for us. He went above and beyond for us! Very thankful!

I can never thank Middlebrooks Shapiro enough for all their hard work and dedication to my case. Without them, I would not have had a roof over my head. I sued the mighty Wells Fargo Bank. Middlebrooks Shapiro not only stepped up to the plate but, had an extraordinary understanding of the law and the implications of taking on a giant. They have worked with me relentlessly to save my home. G-d Bless them! Rabbi Fran R.

Mr. Shapiro is a great attorney! He is intelligent and always informative about my case. If you are looking for a personal experience, and don't want to become just a client number- use this firm!

I had the pleasure of using Joseph after being recommended by a friend. I Needed to make some serious decisions after being laid off at work. I wanted to save my house and get a fresh start. Joseph is extremely knowledgeable in his field and seems willing to think outside the box for solutions. He explored all the different options available and what it would mean specifically for me. I found him to be very compassionate but never misleading as to what could and couldn't be done. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer to walk me through this trying time. He has a very bright future ahead of him!

In May of 2011 I had the need to re-evaluate my personal finances. I was a part of a small business in the mid 1990s that was not very successful and was dissolved after two years. An unfinished issue surfaced and I did not have a clue as to how to deal with this problem. In 2005 I worked with the Middlebrooks and Shapiro Law Firm to help me resolve some finance problems, so I contacted them again. This time it was Mr Joseph Shapiro that came to my aid. Mr Shapiro is a young, smart, up and coming attorney to say the least! I presented him with the documentation of the facts concerning my problem and he reviewed this information diligently. He then asked some questions about the events relative to the failed business. A couple of days later I was invited back to their offices for a follow up meeting. Utilizing his advanced logic and knowledge of the law, Joseph gave me a few options on how to bring my financial problem to closure. What was really very special about this professional man was the way that he communicated with me. He paid close attention at all times and not once did he interrupt me or finish my sentences. This kind of personal communication is exemplary of the first class organization that Mr Shapiro represents.
