Posted by anonymous | January 29, 2018 | Consulted Attorney

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Rude

Rather than actually listen, he was abrupt on initial phone consult and hung up before the conversation was even over. Waste of time. His company's website states they handle property damage, but they do not. Plenty of other attorneys out there; look elsewhere!

Jeffrey Aronsky - Attorney at Law

As a fellow personal injury attorney, I have had only great experiences working with Cliff Shapiro. He is a wealth of knowledge and a leader in our field. His insight, intellect, and thoroughness are unmatched. He leaves no stone unturned; is aggresive, but respectful in his approach and genuinely ...cares for his clientele. Cliff is an ethical model for attorneys everywhere and I highly recommend him and his firm.

I would highly endorse Cliff Shapiro and his firm to anyone in need of a Personal Injury law firm for themselves or their clients. Cliff is a very nice person, an excellent attorney, and great to work with. Most importantly, he and his firm have gotten excellent results for all clients that I have ...referred—they are truly a top notch office.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Mr. Shapiro is an outstanding attorney. We have worked together on several matters and he was the utmost professional in assessing and explaining the complexity of injury related settlements and the impact they have on the individual and their family to my clients. At the same time, he was compassionate and sensitive to the emotional impact it had on the individual client as we went through the process of explaining the relationship between the third party claim and my clients workers comp case. He has been diligent and thorough in identifying facts, witnesses, expert witnesses, and gathering information. I was also impressed with the amount of personal attention he gives each client."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
