About Robert
Biography
For over 35 years, I represent only injured workers against their employers and insurance companies to obtain fair benefits and compensation. Beware of lawfirms who specialize in workers compensation cases and handle a large volume of cases as there is sometimes a fine line between having a large case worth hundreds of thousands of dollars or a small case worth $15,000 or less. Some of the large firms handle these cases like they were hamburgers at McDonalds! An aggressive lawyer can turn a small case into a big case, while a McDonald's style lawfirm handling thousands of cases will treat everyone the same. Choose carefully!

When You Need a Fighter!!
Mr. Shapiro sued my employer and we settled the case at mediation for more than I ever expected!! My employer made us sign a confidentiality agreement so I cannot mention how much I got or their name to anyone.
