Why Clients Choose Us
- You went above and beyond the call of duty for an attorney.
- I like to deal with people who are honest and who keep their word. You are that kind of straight shooter.
- I would recommend Mr. Shapiro and his staff to other persons who have a personal injury and need help with their situation as I did.
- I asked a friend of mine...what attorney would he use [to handle a mesothelioma case] and he immediately said Rick Shapiro. He called Rick on his cell phone and explained our situation and handed me the phone. That connection to the law firm of Shapiro, Cooper, Lewis and Appleton began a relationship of trust and a sense of confidence that we had not experienced before. It was apparent to us that we had the right team fighting for our father.
- She returned my calls promptly and everyone at the office was courteous and helpful.
- I was really happy with the work that John Cooper did on my auto accident case. We went to mediation and got the case resolved for a good amount which will let me do things to help my financial future like buying a house.

FDA Recall of Hydroxycut
As a busy Virginia personal injury lawyer, I try my best to keep informed of the news surrounding consumer products. The most recent FDA recall splashed all over the news is for the well known weight loss drug, Hydroxycut. Everyone has seen these ads. They flash pictures of beautiful men and women and their amazing before and after transformations. I too was eager to see if the advertisements were true and tried out this product while I was in law school. Luckily I only tried the product for a very brief time. However, not everyone was so lucky. Many people have used this product for extended periods of time and many have lost significant weight as a result. The question is what has it cost those people? According to FDA reports, it might have cost them a healthy liver.Today, I met with a young military man who became sick from Hydroxycut. I was shocked at the yellowing of his eyes and skin. He had been taking Hydroxycut for two months when he began to experience every one of the symptoms that are listed on the FDA recall of Hydroxycut. It is terrifying to know that a drug this toxic was on the market with such aggressive advertisements. Hydroxycut has been shown to cause severe liver damage as well as other serious health problems including death. Many of the injured people will inevitably be young with families to support for many more years.
If you or someone you know has been taking Hydroxycut and is experiencing any of the symptoms listed below, please call my office to schedule a free consultation.
