Sales Manager

From my first meeting with Don I new i was going to have him represent me. It was difficult enough to go through my rehab that I didn't want to worry about my lawsuit. His team kept me informed throughout the entire time. The end result of my settlement was way beyond what I had ever imagined. Th...is helped to make a difficult time in my life so much better.

A lawyer I could trust

From our first meeting, I knew that Mr. Shapiro cares about people and doing the right thing. I had a tremendously positive experience as his client and highly recommend his services.

Life Saving Attorney

My husband had a massive stroke at the age of 63 which was mis-diagnosed as a brain tumor. He could no longer work, we lost our home and we had to quickly downgrade into a smaller space. Donald Shapiro took our case and won a settlement for us which provided funds for my husband's care (he lived anot...her fourteen years). I was able to buy a larger house, care for him while teaching at home for nine years and then pay for his last five years of care in a nursing facility. At eighty, I am still teaching and I have the security that when I do decide to retire, the funds are there for me so that I will not be a financial burden on any of our six children. Donald Shapiro saved my life. Carol L.

Experience and compassion make Donald Shapiro the ideal choice for a personal injury case.

I could not have asked for a more compassionate and experienced lawyer to work on my case: a personal injury case resulting from a motor vehicle accident. Don was always available to talk about the case, the accident, and other matters that arose. He was a huge support throughout the process and his ...experience shines through in all areas. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Fantastic Attorney

I was struck by an automobile as a pedestrian and Donald Shapiro represented me. He did a fantastic job and secured an excellent settlement on my behalf.
