Five Stars for the Law Office of Marc Shapiro

Sound legal advice on a Real Estate contract. Thoroughly explained the process & not pushy at all. Highly recommended.

Posted by Frank | July 14, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Slip and Fall Accident

Slip and fall in Naples

When I needed an attorney here, I called my brother, an attorney practicing in another state. After extensive research he recommended that I contact Marc Shapiro in Naples. I took his advice and I am glad I did for the following reasons: 1. Marc does not do a lot of advertising. It is hard t...o watch the evening news in SW Florida and not see a half dozen or more commercials for attorneys. From huge multi-generational firms to firms that appear to be one lawyer and his two young kids. I am suspicious of firms that feel the need to spend money on advertising instead of client services. Also there is a “Better Call Saul” vibe in these ads. Marc does not go there. 2. My case was a slip and fall. Even though I had severe injuries, Marc and the attorney he assigned to my case (Rich Lavariere) gave a very clear explanation of how difficult such cases are to win in Florida, and especially in Collier County. And since we were going against a hospital with a mega law firm and very deep pockets, Marc was realistic in informing me of my chances of success. I much prefer this approach instead of giving me an unrealistic promise of a very large payout. 3. Marc assigned Rich Lavariere to my case. Rich is a young attorney who combines the enthusiasm of youth with the knowledge of the law that belies his age. Rich kept me informed every step of the way. He provided me with copies of all the filings and the strategy of how he is proceeding. We communicated mainly via email. He answered my inquiries promptly, usually within the hour. He returned phone calls no later than the next day. Superb effort. 4. Marc has assembled an unbelievable team of support personnel consisting of paralegals, legal assistants, researchers, accountants, investigators and others. Although I had only a few interactions with them, all showed a high degree of competence. 5. Mediation. It is no surprise that most cases are settled at the mediation hearing. This is a long, arduous, “how sausage is made”, process. Rich prepped me on what to expect and how I should act. He was spot on. His presentation was concise, but thorough and fully explained how I was affected by fall. During our one-on-one with the mediator he explained what our expectations were and our needs. I had very little to do in those sessions. Rich handled those perfectly. 6. Outcome. It has been said that a successful outcome is one where both sides were unhappy. I don’t know if “unhappy” is the proper word. Although I wish I received a larger award, I was satisfied with the outcome. It even was much higher than what the mediator (with 37 years of experience) thought the final figure would be. So, I guess I was less unhappy than the other side. 7. In any review of a personal services firm, three questions must be answered. “Were you happy with service provided”? “Would you use this firm again”? And “Would you recommend this firm to others”? Based on my experiences with the Shapiro law firm, my answers are: “Yes!”, “Yes!”, and “Yes!”

Foreclosure Defense

We consulted today with Mr. Shapiro. Not only did he know his stuff he called in an associate to look over our paperwork. I would highly recommend his professionalism and knowledge with any one facing a legal problem! Thanks so much!

Gerta at Marc Shapiro's office

We turned to Marc Shapiro to aid us in our personal injury case from an auto accident last yr. We had been with Morgan and Morgan and no one there ever knew what was going on with our case. Gerta was assigned to our case and immediately reached out to us and helped us get all our medical needs met, ...and all the paperwork in order to begin our case. She also handled getting everything from our previous attorney. She has been one step ahead the entire time, making sure we didn't have an out of pocket medical expenses and that all hospital and doctors offices were aware of our situation. She kept us informed every step of the way! Everyone at the office has been extremely helpful when we have called. Would highly recommend them!

Review Marc L. Shapiro

I recently meet with Marc and his staff to work on a very complicate Lease Option Transaction. He meet with me personally and then had his staff arrange to get all the parties together and close in a timely manner. I would certainly recommend Marc and his Law Firm to anyone needing legal assistance. ...Barry W, Sunbelt Business Solutions, Sarasota, Florida 34242
