Prior to that, he defended insurance companies and self-insured employers in workers' compensation and personal injury litigation, giving him unique insight into the strategies used by the opposing side. This insider knowledge enables him to advocate aggressively on behalf of his clients and achieve optimal outcomes.
In his new role, Shapiro will oversee the firm's workers' compensation practice, which is a core area of focus for the firm.
