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.

Shore Drive In Virginia Beach Lowers Speed Limit To Save Lives
Jun 23, 2010The city of Virginia Beach has unanimously voted to lower the speed limit on a four-mile stretch of Shore Drive, a road that has been the cite of a number of pedestrian accidents, injuries, and deaths in recent weeks, months, and years.
On June 15, part of Shore Drive’s speed limit was dropped from 45 miles per hour to 35 miles per hour after Virginia Beach after Vice Mayor Jones and Councilman Wood reviewed and discussed the proposal. The speed change will affect the stretch of road between Pleasure House and North Great Neck roads.
The change in speed takes place in the wake of a number of pedestrian accidents and fatalities along Shore Drive, including the recent deaths of Whitney Hulce and Dobbie Jones, two young women who attempted to cross the street 50 feet apart in a dark area without a crosswalk after a night at local bars. In the last eight years, ten others have died on foot in the same area.
Many believe that the dark streets, the lack of good crossing areas, and the speed of the cars certainly contributed to the large number of pedestrian deaths in Virginia Beach. The speed limit was changed after a public outpouring of support for the lowered limit, with many city councilmen receiving large numbers of phone calls and emails about the dangerous street.
In addition to the new speed limit postings, a fundraiser was held for the victims of Shore Drive pedestrian accidents at CP Shuckers and Bayside Bar and Grill in order to raise money to provide more crosswalks and better lighting to the area along Shore Drive. - 7 - 10 -
