THESE ARE REPRESENTATIVE SETTLEMENTS AND VERDICTS PURSUED AND WON BY SHAPIRO, COOPER LEWIS & APPLETON, P.C. LAW FIRM. PLEASE NOTE THAT EVERY CASE IS DIFFERENT AND THESE VERDICTS AND SETTLEMENTS, WHILE ACCURATE, DO NOT REPRESENT WHAT WE MAY OBTAIN FOR YOU IN YOUR CASE AS THERE ARE A VARIETY OF FACTORS UNIQUE TO EACH CASE. NOR DOES IT MEAN THAT WE WIN ALL OF OUR CASES - WE DON'T. OUR CLIENTS TELL US THAT KNOWING THAT WE HAVE ACHIEVED SIGNIFICANT RESULTS, BOTH BY SETTLEMENT AND BY JURY VERDICT, IS ONE FACTOR THAT MANY OF THEM USED TO DECIDE TO HIRE US. YOU CERTAINLY SHOULD ASK ANY PROSPECTIVE ATTORNEY WHETHER HE OR SHE HAS OBTAINED SIGNIFICANT VERDICTS AND SETTLEMENTS BUT THE DECISION TO HIRE AN ATTORNEY SHOULD NOT BE MADE ON THIS FACTOR ALONE. WE WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO DISCUSS ANY OF THESE CASES, AND MANY OTHERS, WITH YOU.
