We believe very strongly that you can be an ethical and a conscientious injury lawyer and that people notice. We’ve had injured clients in the medical field. For example, we’ve represented EMT’s, we’ve represented nurses, we’ve represented physicians/doctors. We feel these medical professionals that have hired us have studied us pretty carefully and know that we are experienced injury lawyers, and we are good at what we do. My name is Rick Shapiro. I’m with Shapiro, Lewis and Appleton Law Firm. We are based in Southeastern Virginia (VA) in the Virginia Beach/Norfolk area, and we also have an office in Elizabeth City, North Carolina (NC). People call us from multiple states, and, over time, we’ve decided we needed law licenses in a number of states, so we actually cover Washington D.C., Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Kentucky. I think if you’re familiar with multiple states’ laws, you tend to just be better on your feet, and you’re ready to adapt well when you have a new trial in another place.
