Highly Recommend

David and his team worked efficiently to help me with a very difficult case when I was hit by a driver with a suspended license and no insurance. His team was professional and genuinely kind. I would definitely seek their expertise again, if needed

A Terrific Attorney Who Treats His Clients With Great Respect And Obtains Results

As a practicing attorney myself, I have referred multiple clients to David Shapiro. In each and every instance, those clients were extremely pleased with the way their cases were handled and the high level of results David Shapiro was able to obtain for them. David Shapiro is one of the most knowledg...eable and professional attorneys that I have encouraged my own clients to engage with respect to practice areas outside of my own areas of expertise.

Strategically Outstanding and Caring Attorney

My spouse was knocked down by another, resulting in the "personal injury" of a fracture, surgery and rehabilitation. That fall directly contributed to further falls and broken bones that occurred after "we" hired David. I, a formerly practicing attorney in a very technical field, became my spouse's... full-time and supervisory caregiver. When first meeting David, we noticed that he had a very calm demeanor, while quickly demonstrating the legal understanding of our case, and describing his ability to successfully pursue it (or, I suspect, in some cases, not). He innately struck us as honest in his assessment. Like I expect he does consistently, he exhibited true care for us when we were seeking his services during a very stressful period in our lives. He demonstrates his abilities in his thoughtful communications with his clients and their other related professionals (e.g., doctors, attorneys, etc.). When we first met, David explained his initial strategy, derived from his strong experience with various types of personal injury cases. He kept us updated as that strategy evolved over time when new facts and circumstances arose, so that we remained calm and confident too. His management of our case was focused, timely, comprehensive and well-communicated to us. Unfortunately, my spouse died prior to the case being resolved. David began dealing with our estate planning lawyer, who was handling the probate of my spouse's estate. They worked very well together, and our estate planning attorney developed great respect for David during the process. David coordinated both of their efforts so that I had no stress about the case nor its effects on probate. He ultimately settled the case and wrapped up the details. I only needed to execute detailed Closing Statement and deposit the settlement proceeds. Despite my spouse's death in the midst of the case (which could have been very detrimental to it), David settled the case for 98% of what we were asking. This was directly the result of his experience, attentiveness to our case, ability to quickly and effectively adjust his approach as needed, and his power of persuasion. I would STRONGLY recommend him to anyone in need of a personal injury attorney.

An experienced, excellent lawyer who really cares

As a retired attorney, I am often asked for a recommendation to a competent, trustworthy lawyer. Because of my personal experience, I always feel very confident recommending David Shapiro. David knows the law and has proven his ability to get great results for his clients. While that is important, i...t is David’s decency and caring that always really makes an impression on me. In a time when there are so many attorneys to choose from, I know I can’t go wrong recommending David.

When Honesty and Integrity Count

I always recommend David Shapiro for any personal injury needs. He never exaggerates, always gives me the straight scoop. These days finding an honest attorney with integrity is a huge asset. David has handled several matters for my family and I and I recommend him without hesitation to be your attor...ney as well.
