Video Transcription:

If I can stop the blindness in these children…it sounds corny to say this, because everybody works to earn a living, as do I, but I became a lawyer because I wanted to make society better. As I started doing ROP cases, in my mind I thought, with enough lawsuits and enough verdicts and settlements, all of the hospital systems in America would get it right. When they get it right, that means I don’t have any clients to represent for ROP. I’m sure there are other things going on in America where a trial lawyer for three decades can find something to bring a lawsuit for. I would love to say that in any small way I helped implement a change where the blindness stopped.

What Our Clients Say

“My dad lost his fingers on one hand due to malpractice after a successful surgery that did not involve fingers. For months we were told it was because of debris in his blood. It was not. Mr. Shapiro and his associates were relentless in getting the medical records until the "missing" page was sent. Then they had the hard and arduous job of finding a doctor willing to testify. An informative video and audio with the doctor's testimony was presented. Case closed. Because of their due diligence, a satisfactory settlement was reached. Mr. Shapiro's law firm worked hard, were extremely thorough, professional, and kept in constant communication throughout the whole stressful ordeal. Mr. Shapiro still remembers my parents and keeps in touch with my mom, even after 15 years have passed. That alone is impressive.”

Lawsuits can take a very long time, and we knew that Shapiro Law Group would not give up. They did whatever was necessary to help our daughter. We can’t thank Mr. Shapiro enough for all he has done for so many!
