Thank you so much Nina Shapirshteyn for handling my case, because of you I feel I got some justice and peace of mind in my life now.
Nina Shapirshteyn represented my child in a personal injury claim. Nina's professionalism and warm personal touch made me and my child instantly comfortable. We knew we were in good hands after our first meeting.
Ms. Shapirshteyn held our hands (sometimes literally) throughout the whole process;she was able to use a very msart and when necessary tough as nails negotiating positionto hold the defendant to a very satisfactory settlement
Another thing I liked was how Ms. Shapirshteyn kept us updated at every step; she took the mystery and stress out of what could otherwise have been a very stressful situation.
I can't thank Ms.Shapirshteyn enough for everything she did for my child. and would unreservedly recommend her to anyone who needs a first-rate, top notch injury lawyer..

An attorney that fights for you!
If you've suffered a personal injury and are in need of an attorney, look no further. Nina is the attorney you want to have on your side especially if you are taking on entities such as companies, agencies, insurance, government etc. She fought our case hard, displayed ample patience, got to know us, and represented us well. She went above and beyond with our case and exceeded our expectations. She is an expert in her field, knows how to represent plaintiffs and is truly a subject matter expert. If you want a positive outcome with your particular situation, go with Nina.

Best personal injury lawyer you can get!
Nina and her team are exceptional at answering questions that come up. I really appreciated the communication with her and the team. She does an amazing job preparing for court and is really something to behold during the court proceedings. I was astounded more than once at the quick on her feet thinking she does in the spur of the moment. She is a superior attorney.

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 helping 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.

Highly reccomended....! Compassionate and Understanding
I am now represented by the Alexander Law Group and Nina Shapirshteyn. Nina and her staff are reassuring and very attentive to my case. I am thrilled to have her representing me with my knee injury. I have had bad feelings about some of the attorneys I sought to represent me but there is none of that with Nina. She and her staff keep in contact with me and really let me know that they care about me as a person and not just as a client. The Alexander Law Group is outstanding!

Excellent Attorney. Patient, Thorough and Strong.
Nina Shapirshteyn is an excellent attorney. Nina represented me at a time when I was overwhelmed, disoriented and slowly recovering from a debilitating injury. Throughout the whole process she was incredibly kind and patient. Her work in the courtroom is thorough and detailed. She is always in contact and she responds to your questions within minutes. After working with her I recognized how lucky I was to be represented by one of the sharpest, most talented lawyers. I was very happy with the results of my case and can not imagine a better outcome.

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.

Competent, caring, and conscientious
This was our first encounter with litigation, and that in itself was daunting. Our case also involved an extremely traumatic accident. Nina was extraordinarily competent and, caring, and always promptly responded to our questions and concerns. She guided us through the maze that is litigation and made us feel confident throughout the process. There was also a very positive outcome to the case, which will help us as we move forward. We recommend her without reservation.

Fantastic Attorney - Highly Recommended
Nina is one of the best attorneys we've ever worked with. She is incredibly smart and quick on her feet, able to adapt to all the curveballs thrown her way both in depositions and in trial. But what sets Nina apart is how much she cares about her clients and works tirelessly to give them the best chance possible. We always felt like she was truly in the fight with us. Several times someone in our company would email her in the middle of the night and receive a response within several minutes. She explained the process to us clearly and concisely every step of the way so we could make informed decisions. And she always seemed to come up with the angle or argument that nobody else saw. We highly recommend Nina for anyone looking for a great bad faith insurance or personal injury attorney.
