William Edward Shapiro's Lawyer Endorsements
"Mr. Shapiro was instrumental in a recent settlement conference where he served as our mediator in a case where the parties were initially very far apart. With his assistance, and willingness to go the extra mile, we were able to reach an agreement that both sides were comfortable with. I strongly endorse this lawyer and mediator."
"Mr. Shapiro is very knowledgeable in various civil litigation matters. I have had the opportunity to do a personal injury jury trial as well as various evidentiary hearings with him. I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer's work."
