David Shapiro places his clients in the best position possible, given the facts of each case, by adopting a dual-track approach. He simultaneously investigates the facts while mitigating the damage which is already done. Many attorneys claim to be "aggressive," but what does "aggressive" accomplish if the facts do not support such a hard-line approach? Far too often attorneys haphazardly take an "aggressive approach" with the courts and the prosecutors without regard for the consequences to the most important person, THE CLIENT. David Shapiro takes a calculated approach to criminal defense.

San Diego Defense Lawyer
Some attorneys, or their non-lawyer representatives, promise prospective clients the world in order to get their business, knowing they are unlikely to obtain such outcomes. Other defense lawyers paint a bleak picture and scare clients into hiring them. At the Law Office of David P. Shapiro, you might not like what you hear but it will be an honest and forthright assessment of any and all realistic outcomes of your case. Some say that is me "being a native New Yorker," but I view it as my professional and ethical obligation to give honest counsel and "Tell it Like it Is."
Criminal Lawyer in San Diego
A native of New York City, David graduated summa cum laude from the State University of New York at Buffalo with a Bachelor of Arts in Legal Studies in 2003 and thereafter attended Tulane University Law School in New Orleans, Louisiana where he earned his Juris Doctor in 2006. David served as President of the Tulane Criminal Law Society and excelled as a student-attorney in the nationally renowned Tulane Criminal Law Clinic. In connection with his service at the Tulane Criminal Law Clinic, he advocated on behalf of inmates and criminal defendants, including prisoners whose rights had been impinged due to the collapse of the New Orleans criminal justice system in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, garnering recognition in several international news documentaries in the process. David also worked for Tulane's Project for Older Prisoners (POPS) and is one of only a few student-attorneys to have successfully argued before the Louisiana State Board of Parole.
DUI Criminal Law Attorney
David was admitted to California Bar in 2007 and soon thereafter joined a well-known San Diego criminal defense firm until he opened his own practice in April, 2010. He has handled a wide variety of roughly 500 criminal cases, and focuses nearly half his current practice toward defending those accused of "Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol &/or Drugs. David's overall breadth of experience makes him one of San Diego's premier criminal defense attorneys, particularly in the area of DUI Defense. David has obtained not guilty verdicts for his clients charged with DUIs in nearly every courthouse in San Diego County. Whether you are facing life in prison or a first time misdemeanor DUI, David treats all his clients with the individualized attention their case deserves. For many clients, being charged with a DUI will be their first (and only) encounter with the criminal justice system. These clients are unfamiliar with the criminal court process and procedures and are often plagued by anxiety and uncertainty. Hiring a qualified criminal defense attorney, skilled in DUI defense, should help ease some, if not all, of your concerns. But hiring an attorney who will treat you the way the courts and DA will (as only a case number, blood alcohol content, or a paycheck) makes no sense! David is highly skilled at walking his clients through the criminal court process, ensuring they know what to expect at each and every court appearance, while providing accurate, honest, and extraordinary legal counsel advocating on their behalf and bringing all the facts to light, not just those depicted in the police reports.
