About
I am proud to be a San Diego criminal defense lawyer. As a partner at The Law Offices of David P. Shapiro, I bring experience in representing diverse clients facing a variety of charges. I've been honored to help waiters, lawyers, construction workers, doctors, CEOs, teachers, veterans and others who have been accused of crimes ranging from theft, fraud, DUIs and drug possession, all the way to vehicular manslaughter, robbery, aggravated mayhem, sex crimes and murder. Regardless of the client or charge, each case is handled with the same thoroughness and passion. I genuinely enjoy every aspect of being a criminal defense lawyer including researching, writing and arguing successful motions, and litigating cases at trial. I have immersed myself in the San Diego County criminal defense community as a board member of the San Diego Criminal Defense Bar Association. I also belong to the California Public Defender’s Association, California Attorneys for Criminal Justice and the National College for DUI Defense.I am honored to have been recognized as a Rising Star by Super Lawyers for 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020. I have been selected as a Top 40 Criminal Defense Lawyer Under 40 in California for 2016 and was voted Best of the Bar for Criminal Defense in 2016 by the San Diego Business Journal. Most of all, I am humbled by the many clients who have written testimonials for my dedication to their cases, attentiveness to their issues, and ability to walk them through the convoluted and sometimes frightening criminal justice system.

Stefano Molea is the best attorney hands down!!! Very dilligently with his work ethics!! He saved my life!!! Would highly recommend this attorney!!
First off I don't know where to begin. Mr. Molea helped me with my case and gave me the knowledge that I needed. He is a very patient and informative lawyer. But underneath he will for you as he did me. The outcome of my case was NOT what I was expecting. He helped give me a second chance at life and helped me from not ruining my future. I did all the instructions he said and he went to bat for me. I was very pleased with my outcome. I highly recommend Mr. Molea if you need criminal defense counsel. Thanks again Mr. Molea.
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.
I had spent days looking up reviews for different lawyers for my child abuse case. I chose Mr. Molea because of his good reviews and reputation in AVVO. He is extremely knowledgeable and experience in his field. Every time I contacted him because of I was scared and nervous about my case, he was always there to give me a peace of mind and assured me that I was in good hands. I followed his instructions and he did deliver me the outcome I was happy with. I am happy and beyond thankful to Mr. Molea and his team. I would highly recommend him and his company to anyone who needs criminal defense service.
Stefano is passionate, detail oriented, smart, knowledgeable and aggressive in presentation. The outcome in my case was exactly what I had hoped for. I have worked with a few lawyers and I can say this - Stefano is the BEST. You want him on your side
He is AMAZING and I truly recommend him and his team! Mr. Molea help resolve a very ugly problem that deprive me from sleeping, focusing, and enjoying my family. He help me carry the weight of my shoulders on to his and did an amazing job. Not to many Lawyers will take the time to get know you and have empathy for you and the situation you in. I thank him be cause I was able to regain my confidence and focus on the most important thing in life.
We hired Stefano Molea to represent our adult son who was charged with a DUI accident with the other parties sustaining great bodily injury. At the start, Stefano came up with a detailed plan on how to best represent our son and navigate through the legal challenges. Stefano's legal knowledge, attention to detail, and his extraordinary communication skills, makes him a true expert in the legal field. He is compassionate and helped our son take the right steps towards his sobriety. We got the best possible outcome for our son and we owe it all to Stefano.
I was extremely worried and stressed out over my case. Stefano eased my worries and ending up getting me a great deal. The DA had me dead to rights but Stefano was able to keep me out of custody. If your thinking of hiring a lawyer for criminal defense Stefano is the man for the job. Thanks Stefano!
Stefano represented a family member during a very difficult time. He is clearly an expert in his field. Not only that, he is kind, compassionate, and dedicated to his work and his clients. That was our experience, and we are very grateful for his services.
Mr. Molea is not only great at what he does, but he is also one of the best lawyers to find when it comes to helping you through a case. He's confident, smart, and brings a comforting approach for whatever case you are facing. I definitely recommend him for anyone, especially Veterans and Military Members, who is looking for someone to fight for them. Not only will he provide you with great services by walking you step by step through your case, he will provide you with the best approach on help you get through it. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
