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.

Recovery of Colorado Airplane Crash Victims Delayed Until the Spring


Posted on Feb 06, 2009

On New Year’s Eve of 2008, the Associated Press reported that the bodies of a Canadian couple killed in an airplane crash in the Colorado mountains won’t be recovered until spring because of treacherous weather and avalanche threats.  Costilla County officials say that the 67 year-old pilot and his 65 year-old wife are presumed dead in the December 20th airplane accidental crash at
Vermejo Peak.  Sheriff’s Office officials say the aircraft crash wreckage is more than 1,000 feet higher than expected.  That peak received more than a foot of snow last week. 

Experienced aircraft accident/crash attorneys are frequently needed to answer the many questions that arise when an airplane accidentally crashes and results in wrongful death.  Our aircraft accident/crash attorneys provide excellent service to families and loved ones of those who are victims of aircraft crashes and accidents resulting in wrongful death.
