Proven Results

Cases We Have Won

A track record of aggressive advocacy and favorable outcomes for our clients across every area of practice.

DUI Charges

Dismissed

Client was charged with DUI after a traffic stop. We challenged the field sobriety test procedures and breathalyzer calibration records, resulting in a full dismissal of all charges.

Federal Criminal Case

Not Guilty

Client faced serious federal charges carrying a potential 20-year sentence. After months of investigation and a week-long trial, the jury returned a not guilty verdict on all counts.

Civil Dispute

$750K Settlement

Business owner was defrauded by a former partner. We filed suit, conducted aggressive discovery, and negotiated a $750,000 settlement before trial — recovering every dollar our client was owed.

Felony Charge

Reduced to Misdemeanor

Client was charged with a felony that would have ended their career. Through pre-trial negotiations and presenting mitigating evidence, we secured a reduction to a misdemeanor with no jail time.

Results vary. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Each case is unique and must be evaluated on its own merits.

Client Reviews

What Our Clients Say

Real stories from real clients who trusted us with their most critical legal challenges.

Criminal Defense

I was facing felony charges and genuinely thought my life was over. Glenn Shapiro took my case when I was at my lowest point. He was straightforward about what to expect, fought aggressively in court, and got my charges reduced to a misdemeanor. I kept my job and stayed out of prison. I cannot recommend this firm enough.

Personal Injury

After our car accident, the insurance company offered us almost nothing. Shapiro Riha took our case on contingency, built an airtight case, and secured a settlement that covered all of our medical bills and lost wages. They treated us like family, not a case number.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

We know you have questions. Here are answers to the ones we hear most often from people in your situation.

We understand cost is a major concern. That is why we offer free initial consultations so you can understand your options before committing to anything. For criminal defense cases, we offer flat fees and payment plans to make quality representation accessible. For personal injury cases, we work on contingency — meaning you pay nothing unless we win. Every case is different, so we will give you a clear, upfront breakdown of costs during your free consultation.

Still have questions? We are happy to help.
