A Lifesaver After a Devastating Railroad Crossing Accident

After a catastrophic accident at a poorly marked railroad crossing left my family reeling, we turned to Rick Shapiro. His deep, 15-year focus on railroad law was immediately evident. He wasn't just a personal injury attorney; he understood the specific regulations and tactics of the railroad companies. Rick and his team at Shapiro, Washburn & Sharp were meticulous, compassionate, and relentless. His recognition as Lawyer of the Year in this niche field is well-deserved. Thanks to his expertise, we secured a settlement that ensures my spouse's long-term care and provides our family with security. We are profoundly grateful for his exceptional guidance.
