About Corey Shapiro

The Day Everything Changed

I was eight years old when my mother disappeared. One day, she was there. Her voice was in the kitchen, and her shoes were by the door. Then she was gone.

I waited for her after school. Bedtime came, breakfast came, and she still was not there. No one could explain why she left my sister and me. No one could tell us what we had done.

Why do I do this work
That experience shaped how I practice law. Divorce does not have to destroy families. My job is to bring clarity and strategy so you can protect what matters most and move forward with strength.

What that means for you

  • Clear decisions instead of fear‑based reactions

  • Children first, with conflict kept low and problem-solving healthy

  • Calm, effective negotiation that leads to durable agreements

Divorce Resolution: Two Clear Paths

Divorce Resolution: Two Clear Paths

Divorce does not have to take years. Too often it does when conflict escalates and decisions stall.

I work at the two points where I can do the most good: at the start, when you want resolution without a judge deciding your future, and at the end, when trial is the only way to finish what has dragged on too long.

Resolution Path

You and your spouse stay in control. You negotiate, you make the decisions, and you reach a settlement. The court may step in on smaller temporary issues, but the outcome is yours, not the judge’s.

Best for:

People who want privacy, stability, and a fair agreement without handing their future to the court.

Trial Path

When settlement is not possible, trial brings closure. A judge makes the decision and the case is over. My role is to prepare, position, and advocate with discipline. No theatrics and no wasted motions. A clear strategy to reach the finish line.

Best for:

People who are ready to end the uncertainty and move forward with finality.

Let’s Talk About What You Need

The first call is about understanding where you are and whether we are the right fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • If your divorce is uncontested—meaning you both agree on everything—you may be able to handle it on your own. However, if children, assets, or disputes are involved, hiring a lawyer may help protect your interests and prevent costly mistakes.

  • No, a lawyer can only represent one party in a divorce. However, you and your spouse can work together through mediation or collaborative divorce to reach an agreement without going to court.

    • If uncontested, expect about a year.

    • If contested, prepare for several years.

    • It depends. If a difficult spouse hires a collaborative-minded attorney, conflict can often be minimized. However, if they hire a competitive attorney, expect the need for court.

    • For all out-of-court work, we offer a flat-fee option.

    • We also provide flat-fee pricing for specific parts of a court divorce.

    • Resolution Path (Out-of-Court)
      Flat fee starting at $15,000. This covers the full process of reaching a legal agreement outside of court, no drawn-out hearings, no surprises.

    • Trial Path (Court Decision)
      Flat fee starting at $30,000. This is for cases where settlement isn’t possible and a judge must decide the outcome.

    • In-Court Work (Hourly)
      For motions, hearings, or other ongoing court involvement that isn’t part of a full trial, I work on an hourly basis at $600/hour.
