This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Excellent consultation

I consulted attorney Andrew after my motorcycle accident in Encino, and was informed about the legal process in the best way possible. I would recommend this lawyer to anyone looking for legal assistance in the area

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

An amazing legal representative for me.

My chosen legal counsel, Andrew Shapiro, represented me with a 2008 bicycle accident. His team’s discovery resulted in several defendants all deemed responsible and jointly pitched in $3.6. For myself I was fortunate with a quadrapoligic Diagnosis to have 2 successful stabilizing cervical su...rgeries. After a couple of months in hospital surgical care and an SCI hospital with intense PT I managed to return home. With years of continued PT & OT, I’ve managed to continue my career, travel to three continents and remarried. Mr Shapiro counseled and coached me during a lead up to a settlement in the 4th year since my accident. I landed on my feet due to the Shapiro team from the Lewitt Hacket law firm. I send my appreciation to all associated with Mr. Shapiro that helped me in my recovery & get to know my seven grandchildren.

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.
