Competent, smart, compassionate and effective

My mother got into a terrible accident. When it was recommended for me to hire a lawyer, I looked online and found Nina’s law firm. The first impression from the online chat service was good, they explained how the process works and the same day Nina met with me to go over the accident and ways they ...could help me. Nina was knowledgeable, responsive, compassionate and very effective. Within days of that first meeting she drafted the lawsuit and the process began. Throughout the process Nina always answered my multiple questions (emphasis on multiple) promptly and when she was busy she would let me know she would answer later and she always did. Her staff was also knowledgeable and responsive. I want to mention a particular situation that I think exemplifies the kind of lawyer Nina is and her capabilities. While answering the interrogatories that by the way were extensive and for three plaintiffs, she spent almost an entire day with us working on answering very difficult questions that had to be translated from Spanish because my parents are monolingual. The process was emotional and difficult for us but Nina managed to keep us on track and focused on what was important. I was impressed by Nina’s ability to explain everything in ways a non-attorney who has zero law knowledge could understand and translate to Spanish. We are very thankful to Nina and her firm for their professionalism, help and ultimately a great settlement.

VERY TALENTED, KIND AND CARING LAWYER, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

We moved to California while the case, in which our daughter, a minor pedestrian (5 years old) was hit by a car and survived multiple injuries, was pending at Kentucky. Since we moved prior settlement, we have to refile this case again at California. In Kentucky, we have great lawyers: who were helpi...ng us on pro bono basis, but when we moved to CA, we were new and weren’t sure that we could find anyone like them. New job, new place and everything was new. We were very stressed. One fine afternoon, there was an email from my lawyer in my inbox introducing to Nina. The content of the email was that she had approved to handle our case in PRO BONO BASIS. This was out of our imagination. We were so happy reading this email. Later on, we contacted Nina and she did everything she could do to prioritize the case filling. With her involvement, everything was settled in very short time (less than month) Can anyone give their precious time to help you without taking a single penny from you? Most probably your answer is “NO” but my answer is “YES”. YES, we do have people like Nina and who consider us as a family member and help us when we are in need of help. The way they help us in a PROBONO BASIS is one of the best example of their service to the community which is clear enough to understand that she has morale and is highly ethical. So, if you have a bad time and looking for attorney to help you, we highly recommend you to Nina and Thank you, Nina, for helping us. DJ and family.

Brilliant Attorney

Nina is one of the smartest attorney's I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Spend 20 minutes with her and listen to her easily discuss complex legal issues and you will know what I'm talking about. Compassionate and understanding she walked me through the entire process. Tough in court when... she needed to be (definitely not a pushover). Was lucky to have someone as great as her get me through my ordeal (and she won!!!). Highly recommend her.

Tough and compassionate.

I was amazed by Nina Shapirshteyn's knowledge and strategic thinking. Not only she was able to recover all my losses and damages plus some, but she was there with me throughout the whole process. She was compassionate for me; she understood my needs in this difficult time and supported me. She is ...a lawyer you can trust to fight for your interest to the end and win. Thank you for your hard work and my amazing results!

Great Attorney

I got lucky to have Nina Shapirshteyn as my lawyer. She was relentless in fighting for me and was able to obtain a settlement much higher than I expected. I felt confident having her by my side and I know I received the best representation.
