Shapiro, Appleton & Duffan

We focus exclusively on personal injury law. We cannot legally state we are the best injury lawyers in Virginia or beyond. However, we can tell you that many of our lawyers have been selected for the highest honors in our area of law.

For example, lawyers with our firm are listed in the Best Lawyers in America (published by U.S. News & World Report; since '11) and the Virginia Super Lawyers publication. (since '10). Also, attorneys with our firm have perfect 10.0 ratings on Avvo and the highest available "AV" Preeminent rating from Martindale-Hubbell.

Along with professional accolades and national recognition, our firm has had success in the courtroom. For example, our firm, along with co-counsel, obtained a record-setting jury verdict in October 2000. At that time it was the largest verdict in Virginia's history for an injured person suffering a traumatic brain injury ($46 million verdict, but with interest the total rose to $60 million).

Our lawyers handled jury trials throughout the state including Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Chesapeake, Hampton, Newport News, Williamsburg, the Eastern Shore, Richmond, Petersburg, Roanoke, and innumerable other cities and counties in Virginia.
