Shapiro Zwanetz & Lake

Justin is the best attorney in Howard county. He works his hardest to get you the best deal. He is the epitome of a great lawyer/leader. Kristina is the absolute best. She's well organized and makes sure you are as well for court. She understands tensions get high at our lowest. She goes above and beyond to make sure you keep your head on your shoulders.

As an attorney, you kind of hope that you and/or your friends and family never need a lawyer. This past summer, someone I am very close with found themself in the middle of a criminal investigation. I reached out to one of my closest friends, who is a very seasoned and experienced criminal prosecutor and without hesitation, this person recommended David Zwanetz. David is the kind of attorney that all attorneys, and particularly young attorneys, should look to emulate in terms of professionalism. My friend told me that David is known for getting involved in cases on the front end and beginning the work to get the matter in a posture that allows his client the best possible outcome. I was told that David is pleasant, professional and most importantly, honest. David lived up to every bit of his reputation. From the beginning, it was agreed that I would be the point of contact between David and the client because of my long-standing relationship with the client. David was incredibly responsive, even to emails sent at 11:00 p.m. He got in touch with the investigating agency quickly and handled all communications to and from them. David's involvement and advocacy were crucial parts of a very positive outcome. He was a true answer to prayer. As an attorney, I cannot recommend David enough as a criminal defense attorney. He's on my personal speed dial and without reservation, I'll be passing his name along to anyone that I know who needs a criminal defense attorney.

Mr. Zwanetz is an outstanding attorney. From the start, he was super responsive and I could tell he truly cared about my case. He ensured that I received the best possible outcome. He's the type of lawyer who was called to the profession. If you need a lawyer who's knowledgeable, dedicated, and genuinely has your back, I highly recommend David Zwanetz.
