About Us
At Shapiro, Cooper, Lewis & Appleton law firm “All We Do Is Injury Law,” so you know we focus on injury law every day. We are dedicated to representing those injured due to the carelessness and fault of others, including trucking accidents/injuriesand car accidents, railroad accidents, faulty product injuries, and medical malpractice claims. The firm has represented thousands of accident victims and the firm’s lawyers have over 100 years combined legal experience. In 2005, our injury law firm was the first plaintiff’s injury firm in the State of Virginia selected for membership in a prestigious international group of highly ethical law firms, called Primerus. Primerus carefully screens law firms and the Wall Street Journal reported “[Primerus] wants to offer consumers a way to pick the good from the bad by establishing a sort of ‘Good Housekeeping’ seal of approval for attorneys.” Also, our law firm has the highest available “AV” rating from Martindale-Hubbell lawyer rating service, 2 of our attorneys were selected by “The Best Lawyers in America” publication (2010 edition) and 2 lawyers with our firm have also been designated Virginia “Superlawyers.”
Our attorneys are the editors of the Virginia Beach Injuryboard, the Norfolk Injuryboard, and the Northeast North Carolina Injuryboard law blogs-and we are proud to state that we provide free, pro bono legal articles all year toconsumers on injury prevention and health and safety topics. All our attorneys (as well as our law firm) provide our time and money to a wide variety of charities as a way of giving back to the community besides editing the Injuryboard law blogs.
There are a small number of law firms that have actually been involved in transportation/vehicle injury litigation in nearly every state along the Southeastern and Mid-Atlantic U.S.A. (Our injury law has handled cases in Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky, Washington D.C., South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Maryland, Tennessee, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Louisiana and beyond).
The firm’s main office is in Virginia Beach, Virginia, near the Northeast North Carolina border, and we have a NE NC office in Elizabeth City, NC. Attorneys and staff with our firm reside in both North Carolina and Virginia, and our lawyers are licensed in VA, NC, SC, WV, DC, & KY.
We Cannot Legally State We are the Best, Top, Injury Lawyers In Virginia, Carolina or beyond, however, we can tell you that many of our Lawyers Have Been Selected For the highest honors in our area of injury law.
In October, 2000 our law firm and co-counsel obtained the largest record verdict in Virginia’s history for an injured person (46 Million Dollar Verdict, with Interest, 60 Million Dollars, settled confidentially during appeal).
When we accept an injury case, we bring over 100 years combined legal experience to the table, and we have earned the respect of opposing attorneys and the Courts the old fashioned way: by working hard and by being ethical injury attorneys.
