Emily knows the law and answered all my questions

I was seriously hurt in an auto accident and needed help. I was referred to the Shapiro, Lewis, Appleton & Favaloro law firm and spoke with Emily Mapp Brannon. She knew the law and was happy to answer all of my questions. Emily was always there when I had a concern. The staff was pleasant and profess...ional. I was very satisfied with the outcome of my case. If any of my friends or family is hurt in an accident, I was definitely refer them to the Shapiro, Lewis, Appleton & Favaloro law firm.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
