My lawyer was Jim Lewis and I must say that he did an amazing job. I was in a motorcycle accident and was badly injured.    I met Jim Lewis and the firm months after the accident as I was at home most of the time. They were so great to me and not only cared about the case, but also about me and how I was doing. It was hard for me to relive the accident and for me to think about it, but Jim was there for me when going over my case and was truly caring.    I know I was worried, starting off, about what would happen with my insurance and how things would get settled, but with the firm, I slowly started to relax shortly after meeting them.    I feel like Jim Lewis and the firm, were like family to me, really fighting for me. If I ever come across someone in the future who needs an injury attorney, I would recommend Jim Lewis.

I definitely recommend JIm Lewis to anyone who suffered a medical malpractice injury. I underwent a total hysterectomy and, during the procedure, the doctor nicked my ureter. After the procedure, I was unable to, use the bathroom, I couldn’t hold down water, I was vomiting and I didn’t know what was going on until I had an MRI. I found out that my kidney wasn’t functioning.  Initially, I went to a different VA medical malpractice lawyer who told me that I didn't have a case. That lawyer said my ureter being cut and nicked was "an acceptable complication." However, I didn't think it was an acceptable complication so I looked for other lawyers and I stumbled upon the Shapiro & Appleton law firm. I saw a video featuring medical malpractice injury attorney Jim Lewis where he specifically talked about cut and nicked ureters. I met with Jim and told him that I was near the statute of limitations for bringing a personal injury case against the doctor; only a few months away to be exact. Jim acted right away and we were able to successfully file a claim. Jim was very knowledgeable about my ureter injury and he informed me that he handled other cases based on the same type of malpractice.  He called me several times and said that he really wanted me to keep in contact and keep the lines of communication open. I was very satisfied with the level of contact by Jim and his assistants, Melissa and Denelle. They were really personable.  They always got right back to me if I had a question or issue.  I would highly recommend Jim and his firm to anyone who needs legal representation.
