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.
