Shapiro & Mack PA

Never say never, as the saying goes. We moved back to Maryland late last year and could never have imagined needing a criminal defense attorney shortly after. A Google search gave me plenty of options and I called a few but it was a familiar name from my childhood that gave me hope. When I called Shapiro, Zwanetz and Lake I was immediately reassured and honestly had already made up my mind no matter the attorney that took the case because the first person I spoke to was Kristina. She was pleasant and personable and listened to the details. I was happy to hear that David Zwanetz would review my daughter’s case and then from our first conversation I knew she would be OK. He got to work right away and communicated with us every step, good news and not so great news. David seemingly took it all in stride; my mama bear issues and the state’s challenges and successfully got the case dismissed. He even came to court to support the state on my daughter’s behalf when he did not have to. I know this is lengthy but for what this did to my daughter physically and mentally and could have unjustly done to her future, it doesn’t say enough.

I cannot speak highly enough of Justin Lake from Shapiro Zwanetz & Lake Attorneys at Law. Facing a stressful and falsely filed second-degree assault charge, I was overwhelmed and anxious about the future. Justin stepped in and proved to be a beacon of hope and professionalism. From the very beginning, Justin demonstrated a rapid and thorough approach to my defense. His deep understanding of the law, combined with his strategic thinking, turned the tide in my favor. He communicated clearly, kept me informed at every step, and never wavered in his commitment to my case. Thanks to Justin's ability to dissect the prosecution's arguments and present a compelling defense, the case never even went to trial. His swift and decisive actions led to the complete dismissal of the charges against me. His dedication and expertise not only cleared my name but also restored my peace of mind. If you need a defense lawyer who is sharp, dedicated, and effective, look no further than Justin Lake. His outstanding work ethic and results speak for themselves. Thank you, Justin, for your exceptional service and unwavering support.

I recently had the privilege of working with Attorney David Zwanetz and I couldn't be more impressed with the outcome: Case Dismissed! During my initial consultation David demonstrated not only profound expertise in his field but also a genuine commitment to securing the best possible outcome for my case. Thanks to his expertise and strategic approach, he was able to get my case dismissed even before the trial date. This outcome not only saved me from potential legal consequences but also spared me the stress and uncertainty of a prolonged legal battle. In addition to his exceptional legal abilities, I also found Attorney Zwanetz pricing to be reasonable and transparent. He provided a detailed breakdown of his fees upfront, and I never felt like I was being taken advantage of. For the level of service and results he delivers, his rates are more than fair. Most importantly, I feel a profound sense of relief knowing that my legal matter has been resolved favorably. David Zwanetz truly had my best interests at heart throughout the process, and his dedication to achieving the best possible outcome for his clients is evident in everything he does. I wholeheartedly recommend Attorney Zwanetz to anyone in need of legal representation. Whether you're facing a traffic violation or any other legal challenge, you can trust David to provide expert guidance, steadfast advocacy, and, ultimately, peace of mind. Thank you David!
