Lawyers get to pick their clients on the plaintiff side. We at Shapiro Law Group are very selective in terms of the kinds of cases that we handle. We want to be sure that malpractice is committed, because coming from the family of doctors, I made my dad a promise many, many moons ago that if there was a coin toss, I would always toss that in favor of the health care provider.

It makes me a better lawyer because my outcomes tend to be better because I’m more selective about the cases that we handle. It’s natural that if you’re more selective and we actually counted in one year here at Shapiro Law Group and we took one out of two hundred and something intakes in the firm. The reason isn’t to look like we’re snotty. It’s more a function of if you know that there is the potential that you have to try this case before a jury in order to win in this day and age, it has to be…I won’t say a smoking gun, but the mistake has to be pretty overt.

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.”

“The Shapiro Law Group represented our daughter, family, and reputation in winning our daughters case that was due to a catastrophic injury. We interviewed many lawyers and felt Mr. Shapiro would ultimately do what was best for our family. Being involved in a lawsuit is very difficult, emotional, and exhausting. If it weren’t for the Shapiro Law Group fighting for our daughter and family, I don’t know where we would be now. They are very thorough, knowledgeable, and know what needs to be done. 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! During a very difficult situation in our lives, the Shapiro Law Group went above and beyond in guiding our family in helping our daughter. We would highly recommend this firm. Thank you,”
