Rarely do you fine the combination of decades of advanced and experienced educational and financial real estate knowledge and practical real estate experience and in the same person. Howard Shapiro is that person. He is a man of high integrity, has excellent communication skills and I recommend him highly as a consultant or expert witness in any real estate related issue. I would be pleased to receive a call from anyone considering Howard’s services.

Jonathan L. Awner, Esq., Akerman Senterfitt
Howard’s testimony at deposition and trial was clear and easy to follow. Despite a relentless cross, he remained cool, calm, and clearly in control of the facts and issues -the only one rattled was opposing counsel. I only wish that all my witnesses were as well prepared and well spoken.

I could not more resoundingly recommend Howard Shapiro than to say he is among the most-knowledgeable real estate developers I’ve ever known. I hold him in the highest regard, and I hope that fact comes through in this recommendation.
