Stefano Molea is knowledgeable and compassionate during a difficult time. He was responsive and committed to the work! My family and I could not have asked for a better person to help us through our problems. At times, he went beyond what I might have expected! I definitely recommend him!

Hired Attorney Stefano Molea

Stefano helped me with my DUI case, which was pretty complicated. My accident included bodily injury and I was facing a severe punishment. Throughout the process I was extremely nervous and unaware of what needed to be done but Stefano was amazing at keeping me calm and assured me that if I followed his advice, we would come away with a good deal. Stefano presented a few options which included house arrest. Honestly, I was surprised that he was able to get that for me, given my situation. He was right, we came away with a good deal and he kept me & my family calm and as relaxed as possible throughout. Recently, he was able to get the DUI expunged! An incident that was sure to lose and headed for jail time, he was able to get house arrest and now, off my record. Professional, compassionate and really, REALLY good at what he does.

I am grateful to have found Stefano. The day I walked into his office, I was frustrated and, quite frankly, nervous about the unknowns of my case. He was understanding and responsive to all of my concerns from the get-go. I trusted Stefano; he was not only very knowledgeable and experienced, but truly passionate about the work he was doing to help me in a situation I never thought I would end up in. While working with Stefano over the past 7-8 months, my questions were not only answered quickly, but thoroughly. He was easy to talk to and supportive along each step of the way. I am very pleased with the outcome of my case. I learned a lot through Stefano - he sets the bar high for all practicing attorneys. Thank you for everything.

This was the first time my family was ever faced with a legal situation and we felt lost. After searching online and had tried to speak with other law firms that wanted money before they even reviewed the case then just before I wanted to give up I found this law firm of David P. Shapiro. As soon as I contact his office and was desperate and crying because we felt lost , they reviewed our case and held our hand every step of the way. Communication was great by email and phone super clear any question my family had they will answer. And also my family was so worry about money but they are great to work with very understandable. The whole staff made this stressful time very comforting even though it was not emotionally easy.

After a terrible personal incident, I had to withdraw from law school at USD and felt like I had nowhere to go. Then I had trouble with SDPD. I was unsure if I would be able to enroll in law school again. I was at a dark point in my life because of the position I was in. I had nowhere to go. Thankfully, I was able to get in touch with Stefano. He reviewed the police footage and saw that they violated my fourth amendment rights by arresting me without probable cause. The case was dismissed, and we are in the process of cleaning up my record. I can honestly attest that I would not be where I am in my life today if it were not for Stefano. Had I not hired such an experienced attorney, I may never have gotten back into law school. Last week, I got accepted to my dream school with a $15,000 scholarship. When Stefano says that he helps good people regain control of their future when charged with a crime, I can fully attest that this is true.

We had the opportunity to work with David P. Shapiro and his law office to help us with a case involving a family member. We were beyond pleased with the service we received from Mr. Shapiro and his staff! From the very beginning, Mr. Shapiro showed an interest in helping us and was always attentive to the needs of our family member. He kept us informed throughout the whole process. We also heard from his staff on a consistent basis and we were always made to feel that our case was as important to him as it was to us. We would highly recommend Mr. Shapiro to anyone who is looking for an attorney. It was definitely a good experience during a very difficult time.

Stefano was excellent throughout the entire process. I am so thankful he took on my case. I never felt that my case wasn’t as important as any of the others he may have been working on at the same time as mine. I cannot say enough just how thankful I am to have found such a wonderful, astute, and intelligent lawyer. The outcome of my case was the best possible outcome. He always had my best interest in mind—at all times—and made life bearable while going the motions of the legal system.
