Since 2010, Jamil Jones has honed his skills in the sales and entrepreneurial fields before transitioning into law. After graduating from San Diego State University with a Bachelor of Arts in Communication, Sociology, and Writing, Jamil immediately dove into the workforce, helping businesses increase sales and develop strategies for growth. He later expanded his career by founding his own freelance videography business and credit repair service, gaining valuable experience in both the creative and financial sectors. It was actually a videography project with a law firm that sparked his interest in law, and soon after, Jamil joined that firm as an Intake Specialist for Mass Tort Litigation cases.
Within a short time, Jamil’s leadership abilities stood out, and he was tasked with training new intake specialists, ensuring the firm’s continued success. Eager to broaden his legal experience, Jamil transitioned to criminal defense, where he now brings his diverse skill set to the team at David P. Shapiro Criminal Defense Attorneys. Jamil prides himself on his strict professionalism, unwavering integrity, and high empathy – all of which aligns directly with our mission and ultimately is what attracted him to join the firm in 2024.
In his spare time, Jamil enjoys pursuing his creative passions, including videography, photography, and graphic design. He stays active by playing basketball in local leagues and indulges in his love of horror movies and vinyl record collecting. One of Jamil’s favorite quotes comes from his favorite novelist, Haruki Murakami. “Life’s no piece of cake, mind you, but the recipe’s my own to fool with.” Essentially, our lives are blank canvases and each of us possess the choice to paint whatever image we desire.

Here’s what you need to know to regain control of your future
“I came to David Shapiro to end my probation early and expunge my case. I had a very positive and very informative experience with him. David and his assistant Maria were excellent and always kept in the loop of what was going on.”
“Helping good people get their lives back is not just a catch phrase. They mean what they say and are serious about taking care of the client. Ally Keegan and the team at Law Office of David Shapiro are AMAZING! My charges for a 25 plus year old case were dismissed, it was not easy but I truly believe that if I had went with any other Law Firm that the outcome would have been very different. Thank you Ally for helping me get my life back!”
“I called many lawyers after I got my DUI. Stefano was the only lawyer who put my mind at ease and gave me a sense of relief. He constantly communicated with me about my case and laid out all my options. He was willing and able to do whatever he could to help me. He went above and beyond what was expected.”
“I have used David 2 times in the past and he has by far exceeded my expectations. He has great knowledge and knows the system. He is straight forward and honest and somebody you can trust without doubt. I would recommend him to friends, family, and anybody that needs help. Best attorney I’ve ever come across.”
“Stefano Molea was extremely professional and consistently timely with responses to my questions. Most of all, Stefano was reliable. Stefano was diligent with discovery and always prepared and tenacious when relevant to the situation. Stefano is an attorney that you can count on for the best outcome. Thank you Stefano for all you did in my case. You’re so awesome!!!!”
“Ally was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her calm and reassuring demeanor was matched with her excellent knowledge, dedication, thoroughness. We unfortunately found ourselves in need of a criminal lawyer and we can without a doubt say that having Ally and her firm represent us from the beginning was the best choice we could have made.”
