Charlene G. Shapiro

Ms. Shapiro worked with both Ms. Grover and Ms. Badalian at a prior law firm and when they decided to open the firm, she was the first person they wanted on the team.  She has spent the last 20 plus years working at preeminent boutique family law firms in Montgomery County.  In her prior life, Ms. Shapiro worked on government contracts and Federal tax cases while employed at firms in Washington, D.C.  As the firm’s office manager, she handles the day-to-day operations, oversees the staff, and makes sure the attorneys are well cared for.

Ms. Shapiro is a Maryland native and enjoys hiking, crafting, and exploring downtown Frederick.  She is a staunch advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, volunteering her time at The Frederick Center on several committees including the Center’s Legal Clinic and Pride.
