Donald A. Shapiro

Helped Me Beyond Words

Donald Shapiro and his firm helped me beyond words could compare. The amount of my financial recovery was nothing that i had ever imagined. I liked Don the first time we met. I also was impressed with the way his firm kept me in the know as my lawsuit progressed. Even though I have ongoing therapy it is wonderful to know that I'm taken care of financially.

 A Lawyer I Could Trust

From our first meeting, i knew that Mr. Shapiro cares about people and doing the right thing. I had a tremendously positive experience as his client and highly recommend his services.

Life Saving Attorney

My husband had a massive stroke at the age of 63 which was mis-diagnosed as a brain tumor. He could no longer work, we lost our home and we had to quickly downgrade into a smaller space. Donald Shapiro took our case and won a settlement for us which provided funds for my husband's care (he lived another fourteen years). I was able to buy a larger house, care for him while teaching at home for nine years and then pay for his last five years of care in a nursing facility. At eighty, i am still teaching and have the security that wen i do decide to retire, the funds are there for me so that i will not be a financial burden on any of our six children. Donald Shapiro saved my life.

Experience and compassion make Donald Shapiro the ideal choice for a personal injury case.

I could not have asked for a more compassionate and experienced lawyer to work on my case: a personal injury case resulting from a motor vehicle accident. Don was always available to talk about the case, the accident, and other matter that arose. He was a huge support throughout the process and his experience shines through in all areas. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

I was struck by an automobile as  a pedestrian and Donald Shapiro represented me. He did a fantastic job and secured an excellent settlement on my behalf.

Donald A. Shapiro, Excellent Attorney

I hired Mr. Shapiro to represent me when i was injured in an auto accident. He successfully secured settlements for me from two different insurance companies involved in the case. Donald and his team were with me every step of the way. He kept me informed and answered all my questions. He was very knowledgeable in the law regarding all aspects of my case, which made me feel confident and secure. I would highly recommend Mr. Shapiro and his organization to anyone needing a great attorney.

Attentive Throughout The Entire Process

Lauren and her team is amazing. She stayed in contact with me during the entire process. She was not only concerned about my case but me and my family as well. I highly recommend her if looking for a great outcome

Mrs. Kim D.

My case involved working with Lauren from another state and she proved to be the best fit I could have asked for. I was injured in Chicago on vacation but lived in Mississippi so there was mostly email and phone conversation. She was so accommodating to all my questions and so patient with me especially since I have never needed a lawyer before this experience. Our communication was so pleasant and she was a joy to work with. When my husband and I finally had the opportunity to meet her in person, we felt like we had known her forever. She is so professional and compassionate and that is a wonderful combination. I was extremely nervous during the deposition but she calmed me down and prepared me for the meeting. Our outcome was positive as well as my whole experience.

Excellent, Smart and Caring Attorney

I have consulted with Lauren Cohen on several potential cases. Lauren is always very responsive and detailed in her analysis of the facts. She is very honest and has compassion for each individual case. I would highly recommend Lauren Cohen to any individual seeking personal injury or medical malpractice advice.

Firm Partner: Lauren Cohen

My attorney, Lauren Cohen, is a highly qualified professional. I am very fortunate & proud to have been represented by her in my recently settled case. No other attorney could have done a better job. I am sure about that. My case involved a car accident/personal injury lawsuit which was resolved in approximately four years. It was a battle with the insurance company in an effort to receive a fair & positive outcome. Lauren worked very hard on my behalf to achieve that outcome. Very thorough & well prepared at every turn brought successful results. Her compassion & kindness shown to me...I will never forget. Every question I had, I received her full attention & immediate response. I remain very grateful to her for all of her hard work & dedication to my case. A true professional in every way. Thank you. 
Sincerely,
 John

Outstanding Legal Service and Successful Results!

Lauren Cohen provided expert legal assistance to our family which lasted over a period of years and two specific cases. In each case Lauren provided expert legal direction and helpful emotional support as we went through the multi-year process. Lauren made herself available to answer any and all questions as the cases went forward. Both cases ended fully favorable which is no small feat! We are completely satisfied and thankful for the expert legal services provided by Lauren Cohen and highly recommend her without any reservations to any potential client.

Lauren helped me get a fair PI settlement

Lauren Cohen contacted me numerous times about her actions regarding a pit bull bite i received. I especially appreciated her taking the time to explain the legal steps necessary to obtain a fair settlement for my pain and suffering and her negotiations with the "other side". She was good at compromising with them but still getting a fair settlement.

Client Driven; Professional

Lauren is effective because she combines compassion with power. Her knowledge of what to do and ability to strategize meant that she did not rush through my case for her easy profit. She worked hard for ME, not for her firm or for herself. Lauren always had my interests in mind and negotiated a settlement beyond what I had hoped for. Lauren is not afraid to take the case to trial because she’s talented. This helps bring in a fair settlement. She does not inflate her settlement expectations with a sales technique you see in commercials. She is fair and reasonable with her settlement expectations and assertive in achieving these expectations. In spite of my lack of understanding of how the legal process works, she never spoke condescendingly to me. She made my small case feel as important as a million dollar settlement. She took her time with my questions and answered the same question the third time with as much clarity, patience, and detail as she answered it the first time. 

Lauren returned my emails and calls promptly because she treated me as equally important as the firm’s big clients. She is intelligent, competent, and dedicated. With Lauren, I never felt alone or vulnerable. I had a savvy ally.

In a different class

Referred by a friend to Donald Shapiro, the firm took on my case. Mathew Basinger was assigned the case. Early we had some road blocks, and Mathew made some changes to keep the suit alive. I've never been involved in a lawsuit, but he made things very easy to deal with. This malpractice suit involved a death, the care Mathew took helped us move through the process. In the end despite some obstacles Mathew secured a settlement me and my family are content with.

Proficient, highly skillful legal practitioner

Matt Basinger, Esq. is adept at all matters pertaining to his field. He expeditiously secured a monetary settlement for a car accident case that far exceeded my expectations. Always professional yet never aloof, Matt Basinger is quite polite and always a gentleman. He promptly returns telephone calls and written communications. i never had to wait more than 2 minutes to see him for an appointed meeting; as an agoraphobic person, that is quite important to me. I was never made to feel uncomfortable about not understanding all aspects of the law; Mr. Basinger listened well and patiently explained whatever i did not understand. He was always thoroughly prepared for our meetings; he never had to stop and search for information, it was always at hand, an indication of his highly analytical thinking process that makes him anticipate various scenarios and be prepared. If i ever find myself in court, I'd want him on my side! I highly recommend Mr. Basinger and the Shapiro legal firm.

Matthew Basinger - the lawyer who gave us confidence

It is hard not to rate Matt excellent after being rewarded with a life changing settlement in a medical malpractice case. Even after the first interview with Matt regarding our case, I and my wife felt that all skepticism vanished and were inspired with confidence and hope. for the duration of the process we were regularly informed and assured that the case was moving in the right direction and we never felt neglected or in some way loosing our hope to find justice. Matt has a very warm personality, he is compassionate, he has this unique ability to understand the pain and suffering you have to deal with when you are mistreated medically. He is always ready to assist you with all legal technicalities such as depositions, explaining how the process works etc. The first and foremost, we succeeded in our case and Matt played a significant role in that success.

Grateful

Confusing law suit, lots of twists and turns, with court interference even, discouraging. What had seemed a possibility wound up slowly diminishing over time, but Matthew stayed alert and on top of each push back seizing the final opportunity for success. Quite impressive and i sure am grateful.

Matthew Basinger/Shapiro Ltd.

Matt was recommended to us at a time when we didn't know where to turn to for a specialty/personal injury lawyer. Our daughter had been in an apartment fire and at the time, we had hopes she would recover but sadly, did not. Not only did Matt drive five hours to meet with us but he was with us when we found out our precious child was not going to make a full recovery and was, in fact, declining rapidly due to smoke inhalation damaging her brain. 
He and his firm took the time to work with us and the lawyers for two other families with daughters involved in the same fire, kept us fully apprised of what was going on each step of the way and fought for a fair settlement. He didn't give up! 
He has since kept in touch with us over the years when any other law firm may have closed the case on its clients, never to be in touch again. 
One thing about Matt - he cares, not just about the person he represents but about the family members who are left behind to grieve the loss of their loved one. This makes him one of the best people to handle a case when a lawsuit is necessary. 
I feel that God, in His infinite wisdom, led us to Matt, knowing as a sincere Christian, Matt would do whatever was needed for us. God may have felt it necessary to take our child Home to be with Him, but he sent us Matt to help make that loss easier to bear.
