How Are We Doing? Realistic Expectations for Positive Outcomes “When I needed an attorney in Florida, I calledmy brother, an attorney practicing in another state. After extensive research, he recommended I contact Marc Shapiro in Naples. I took his advice, and I amglad I did for the following reasons: • My case was a slip and fall. Even though I had severe injuries, Marc and the attorney he assigned tomy case gave a very clear explanation of how difficult such cases are to win in Florida, especially in Collier County. And since we were going against a hospital with a mega law firm and very deep pockets, Marc was realistic in informingme of my chances of success. I much prefer this approach instead of givingme an unrealistic promise of a very large payout. • Marc assembled an unbelievable teamof support personnel consisting of paralegals, legal assistants, researchers, accountants, investigators, and others. Although I had only a few interactions with them, they all showed a high degree of competence. • Although I wish I received a larger award, I was satisfied with the outcome. It even was much higher than what the mediator (with 37 years of experience) thought the final figure would be. In any review of a personal services firm, three questions must be answered: ‘Were you happy with the service provided?’,‘Would you use this firm again?’, and‘Would you recommend this firm to others?’Based onmy experiences with the LawOffices of Marc L. Shapiro, my answers are‘Yes!’,‘Yes!’, and‘Yes!’” –Frank Our mission is to help asmany people as possible. Feedback fromour clients lets us knowhowwe’re doing.

are to ensure your claimgoes through. Review your policy, especially the “Duties After Loss”section so you know the provision youmust follow. It is also a good time to update your policy so your property and possessions are insured for whatever it would cost to replace them in full. Locate a Shelter Youmay be forced to evacuate your home as a storm approaches. If you are being told to evacuate, it is vital that you heed the warning and leave. It’s also important to knowwhich hurricane shelter you can go to before you have to evacuate. Visit CollierCountyFl.gov or call 239-252-8444 to locate shelters in Collier County. Make sure every member of your family knows what shelter you will go to in case you are separated during the evacuation. Remember that not all shelters allow pets. If you have a family pet who will have to evacuate with you during a storm, find a pet-friendly shelter in your area and register in advance. Hurricanes are a powerful, frightening force of nature. Take time tomake sure your family is prepared before the next stormhits.
