Car Accidents

Jeffrey J. Shapiro is a Boutique Car Accident Law Firm

Recovering financial compensation for injuries suffered in car accidents can be difficult. No matter how friendly and cooperative the adjuster and claims representative may appear, remember that their goal is directly opposed to yours: they want to minimize the amount you can receive in a settlement or to deny our claim outright if at all possible.

You can greatly improve your chances of a fair settlement by hiring an attorney from Jeffrey J. Shapiro & Associates, LLC to represent you in your claim.

We limit the number of cases we accept in order to ensure that we can focus the necessary amount of time and attention on each client's claim, and when you work with us you can benefit from the fact that we have more than thirty years of legal experience. An attorney from our firm will stand by you as your case progresses, advising you of your legal options, gathering the necessary evidence to support your claim and even going to trial if this is what it takes to help you receive fair financial compensation. Don't take any chances with the outcome of your case-let us fight to prove that the other driver is at fault so that you can receive the damages you deserve.
