I was seriously hurt in a boating accident that occurred in Manteo, North Carolina. I knew I needed a lawyer so I did some Google searches for "admiralty lawyers" and found Kevin Duffan. I watched a video where he talked about growing up around the water and understanding boat accident law. I hired him and am definitely pleased that I did. Kevin handled my case professionally and was extremely forthright regarding my options. He was honest and straightforward about everything. I am very satisfied with the outcome of my case. Kevin is a great lawyer.

I would recommend Mr. Shapiro to anyone looking for an attorney they can trust to represent them. His professionalism, experience and confident approach sets him apart from most attorneys. There's no doubt I received a fair settlement and that's because I picked the RIGHT attorney! Wendell F.

I received a second degree water burn on a US Airways jet flight from hot water for hot tea being spilled on my lap. After weeks of pain and suffering, I sustained a permanent scar. Unfortunately, the scar is on the inside of my leg (thigh area). After months of negotiation, Mr. Shapiro was able to obtain a fair settlement from the airline. I was very impressed with Roz and Sandra who always called or wrote me back within a very quick time frame. I am satisfied to have received anything in this economy! -Shannon, North Carolina Resident

I got hurt in an auto wreck and sought out an attorney to represent me. I looked around and eventually stumbled upon the website of this firm. I was represented by Kevin Duffan and I am so glad he was my lawyer. Kevin was unlike so many lawyers who try to confuse people and don't return phone calls. Kevin was straight forward with me, honest, and he always kept me updated. I am very satisfied with the outcome of the case and actually received a larger settlement than I anticipated. I highly recommend Kevin and his firm. -Kristine G.

I was hurt badly in an accident that happened at a Norfolk Southern rail yard. I needed a lawyer and didn't know where to turn. I attended some dinners hosted by my local rail union and heard about the Shapiro, Appleton & Washburnlaw firm. They've represented a bunch of railroad workers in the past so I decided to reach out to them. I am so glad that I did. I contacted Rick Shapiro and he agreed to represent me. Working with Rick was great. My calls were returned promptly and Rick was able to achieve a great outcome to my case. I would recommend him, and this firm, to friends and family.

I was hurt in an accident in Portsmouth, Virginia. My life was turned upside down and I didn't know what to do. I knew an attorney who recommended I contact the Shapiro, Appleton & Washburnlaw firm. He told me that they were a great firm for personal injury cases since those were the only types of cases they handled. I called the firm and spoke with an attorney at the firm. I am so glad I did. My attorney was personable and friendly. He was very pleasant to work with. I would definitely recommend this firm to friends and family.
