The civil justice system is limited in its capacity. It’s the most frustrating thing about what I do as a lawyer. I don’t have a magic wand. I cannot cure these beautiful children of their blindness. What we do as lawyers in the civil justice system is crucial, because it’s not only about having the right to sue. It’s something much more basic than that. It’s an American value that we all hold near and dear to our hearts. It’s about the right to stand up and say, “I get counted too. If you do something wrong to me, you’re responsible for it.”

You have the right to a jury of your peers to hear that dispute, and at the end of it, reach a conclusion as to whether or not somebody was responsible, number 1. Number 2, if they were indeed responsible, then what the value in money damages is for the harm caused. That money is crucial to changing the lives of these kids. I’ve seen it firsthand. I’ve watched these children grow up, and I get to see what that money does to change their lives for the better.

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.”
