I have been represented by Mr. Booth once and have just retained him for a second time for a personal injury case. Mr. Booth is very attentive to your needs and answers any questions you have.

I engaged Mr. Booth regarding a slip and fall accident. Mr. Booth thoroughly explained the law as it relates to slip and fall cases and the potential outcome. I was kept abreast of what was going on during the time that negotiation was going on. In addition, any calls to his office were met with pro...

I was injured in a motorcycle accident that required surgery and several months of rehabilitation. The initial consultation with Shapiro, Appleton, & Duffan was very efficient and they handled everything from start to finish. The process was very time consuming but nothing out of the ordinary as fa...
"I have had the pleasure of both working with and adverse to Mr. Booth. He has always conducted himself in a professional manner. I have found him to be always prepared, knowledgeable, and diligent. I have referred cases to Ed in the past and will continue to do so as I know the client will get top notch representation."
"I worked with Ed for several years at the Commonwealth Attorney's Office. He is meticulous in his preparation and excels in the courtroom. Calm and confident he is well-respected by the local judges and his fellow attorneys. Ed would definitely be my top choice in a personal injury case."
"I strongly endorse Ed and have thought highly of him since I observed him in action in my time as a law clerk."
"Highly recommend to anyone looking for an experienced, honest, straightforward and zealous attorney."
"I endorse Ed for his ability and skills in the field of personal injury and medical malpractice law. Ed is a competent and highly qualified attorney who focuses on getting the best results for his clients."
"I endorse Ed. He is a highly skilled litigator. The proof is in the proverbial pudding - he obtained a $3.5 million jury verdict on behalf of a client (with the assistance of co-counsel). To secure a verdict of that size requires impressive legal talent. Ed has this talent in spades."
"I enthusiastically endorse Ed. He is a top-notch litigator with a focus on client-first representation. He is one of the best lawyers I know."
"Ed is fantastic advocate for his clients. I had the pleasure of prosecuting a case where he was defense counsel. My first impression was not to agree to any time specific plea agreement due to the facts of the case. However, Ed was extremely effective in informing me about the virtues of his client and other facts in the case that I was not aware of. By the time we were done I agreed with Ed's initial plea offer, which treated his client extremely well in the end. Ed is sharp, approachable, and deeply committed to his craft. You can't go wrong with him on your side."
"Ed gives clients the attention they need and deserve. Not all lawyers treat their client's case with the same dedication. I highly recommend Ed's services."
"Edwin is one of the sharpest lawyers out there! If I have a question, he usually has the answer. I highly recommend Edwin to anyone with a legal need."
"Ed and I worked many cases when he was a prosecutor in Virginia Beach. He was always fair in handling difficult cases, and in most cases would try to negotiate a reasonable disposition."
"I have known Mr. Booth for several years. He was criminal defense attorney when I was a Prosecutor in Va Beach and he was always knowledgable, trustworthy, and well-prepared. He then became a Prosecutor and I became a defense attorney. We have had several cases against each other over the years. Mr. Booth was /is always a pleasure to work with. He has the experience, and reputation that you want in a defense attorney. Mr. Booth is an excellent trial attorney and he has my endorsement!"
"I endorse Edwin (Ed) Booth wholeheartedly. Ed and I were coworkers at the Virginia Beach Commonwealth Attorney's Office, and had cases against each other while he was with the Public Defender. Ed's attention to detail and calm demeanor makes him a very effective advocate for his clients, and he is well liked and respected in our local legal community. His work is top-notch and I have previously and will continue to refer clients to him."
