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.

Skiing Accident
Court/Date: Nelson County Circuit Court, Virginia, 2003 HSC&L Staff: Firm Attorney, Luther Yopp, Investigator, Rosalyn Hughes, Paralegal, Sherri Wells, Legal Secretary What Happened: CW, an experienced skier, was enjoying a day of skiing at the Wintergreen Ski Resort. While on the expert ski slope, CW went to board the ski lift with a friend. While waiting for the ski lift chair to come up behind her, Wintergreen's employees permitted a snowboarder to attempt to join CW and her friend on the three-chair ski lift. The chair lift struck the snowboarder and CW was then struck by the snowboarder and ski lift. As a result, CW suffered a tear of her anterior prussic ligament in her knee and required surgery to repair the same. Fortunately, she only lost approximately two weeks from work and has had a full recovery with very few residual problems. Key HSC&L Legal Strategy: Wintergreen Ski Resort aggressively defended the case attempting to blame the Plaintiff and relied on the defense of assumption of risk, and the argument that all skiiers assume these risks when skiing. The Plaintiff was able to show through the Defendant's own corporate representative that there was no particular risk involved in waiting for the ski lift and the trial judge ultimately did not permit Wintergreen to rely on the defense of assumption of risk.
Awarded: The case was tried and the jury returned a verdict for $150,000.00, plus interest and costs. No settlement offer was ever made before the verdict.
