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.

Car Driver Injured in Intersection Collision/Accident

Court/Date Virginia Beach (Va. Beach, VA) Circuit Court, November 2008

SCLA Staff Randall E. Appleton, attorney

Denell Falzon, paralegal

Becky Wyatt, legal assistant

What Happened On September 4, 2004, Car driver client EM was driving his vehicle on 22^nd Street heading to I-264 when his vehicle was struck from the left side by another vehicle attempting to cross 22^nd Street at an intersection in Virginia Beach (Va. Beach), causing his personal injuries. The Car driver client was transported to a local hospital where he was examined in the emergency room and discharged with a diagnosis of a cervical and lumbar sprain.

The Car driver client initiated chiropractic care approximately two weeks after his hospital discharge which continued for approximately 1 ½ months. The Car driver client returned to his home in Florida and participated in two more treatment programs with chiropractors near his home.

The Car driver client’s medical expenses presented at trial totaled approximately $4,600.00. The Car driver client also presented evidence of a permanent impairment through his chiropractors at trial related to his soft tissue injuries and a loss of business expenses related to his inability to complete a business venture he was beginning at the time of the wreck. Car driver retained our Virginia/North Carolina personal injury law firm to maximize his personal injury recovery/settlement.

Key Legal Strategy The Car driver client’s injuries were described by his three treating chiropractors at trial – one appeared in person and the other two via deposition. This presentation allowed the jury to consider the persistence of the Car driver client’s symptoms due to the injuries suffered in the car wreck/accident.

Outcome The jury returned a verdict in favor of the Car driver personal injury client in the amount of $21,000.00.

Awarded: $21,000.00
