Testimonial

  • I highly recommend your firm for anyone who was hurt in an accident. G.L.
  • Rick evolved over time to become part of the family, a trusted, loyal friend. From not knowing us at all, to fighting for us, to the final battle, his guidance was always positive, and always in our best interest.
  • I would recommend Mr. Shapiro to anyone looking for an attorney they can trust to represent them. Wendell F.

In his first post to our firm's new Portsmouth, VA Car & Truck Accident Injury Lawyers blog, my colleague Rick Shapiro welcomes the opening of new tracks for Commonwealth Railway Mainline freight trains. The rail line now runs down the medians of VA 164 and I-664 instead of proceeding through 14 grade crossingsacross surface and neighborhood roads in Chesapeake, Portsmouth and Suffolk. The new rail route protects pedestrians and drivers, but Rick remains concerned about Commonwealth's decision to run double-stacked rail cars.
