When I called several law firms for counsel they wanted me to meet with their interns at a public place to see if it was worth it. Then I researched the best brain attorneys in Denver and it pulled up Shapiro Winthers, PC. I met Steven at his his office following my accident and felt confident about the firm. I could not be happier with the work on the case by Steven, Carrie, Stacy and Amanda. They settled my case for the maximum policy limits of the insurance companies involved. They always responded and followed up with me and continue to do so as my care with several doctors continues following my brain injury. There's a reason they show up on several top law firm sites in the Denver area. They are the best and I thank them all. Mike W

We have been working with Steve Shapiro Amanda Pfeil and Stacy Trujillo now for a while after my partner's accident and love how they personalized it and became friends. They cared about us and watched out for her well-being after the accident after being hit by an uninsured motorist who was texting. They went out of as she is deaf and was a little bit difficult for communication but went out of their way to make sure that she understood what was going on in the process and assisted her in getting a settlement that allowed her for future care. I would highly recommend this to anyone needing their assistance hopefully no one will have an accident requiring assistance but this is the team to go with. Thank you for having this team that protects us from greedy insurance companies.

I have been working with Steve Shapiro, Amanda Pfeil, and Stacy Trujillo since my car accident caused by an underinsured driver. Yes, this was something that was horrible and never would wish it upon any one but thankfully with these 3 by my side, I was awarded a settlement that helps out with medical bills and without them I would have only been awarded the bare minimum of $25,000. I am deaf and these three really went all out to help me with this settlement. They stood up and fought for me to get more as I will be needing multiple treatments to help with the pain caused by the accident. I can't say enough for this team and for them personally, Thank you Steve, Amanda and Stacy for all your hard work. If anyone needs someone by their side to fight for what is right, this is an awesome team and will recommend them to everyone.

Steve Shapiro and his team worked for years on my case. They were always professional, caring, and dedicated to what needed to be done. They became part of our family in many ways and I am forever grateful they helped change my life forever. Steve's drive to make a difference for student athletes and change the way they are cared for paid off for us and I hope it does for others in the future. We are grateful to have had Steve and his team run our case. I highly recommend their office to anyone in need.

We spent a lot of years with Steve through our daughter's litigation. He always took the time to know our daughter, cared about her well being, treated her with respect as we went through the process. Steve is a good communicator, he looked at every angle and represented us well! We were happy with him and his staff!

After my daughters injury, her neuropsychologist suggested we contact Steve Shapiro. We were very impressed with his knowledge and expertise but what stood out was his concern for our daughters well being. Ultimately, Steve was able to negotiate a life changing settlement but it was his genuine concern for our daughter that we'll never forget.

Melissa Winthers is an exceptional attorney! My wife had a complex uninsured motorist claim that involved extensive medical history and billing, disability coverage and uninsured motorist coverage. Melissa's extensive knowledge of Colorado uninsured motorist coverage and request for policy coverage from auto carrier resulted in payment and settlement of my wife's claim. We will contact Melissa regarding any further legal questions and she is are personal attorney going forward. Debbie and Gerald Wilson

I was in a bad car accident and needed legal assistance to work through all of the insurance and workers comp matters. A friend recommended Shapiro and Winthers, P.C. and I have been extremely pleased with their help. It took 2.5 years for them to settle my claim with the insurance companies due to my injuries and I'm very pleased with the results. They were able to get me a settlement that far exceeded my expectations and their fees were very reasonable for all the work they did on my behalf. Steve and his staff were very supportive through the process, kept me informed along the way and were professional at all times. I highly recommend them for legal assistance.

I am so thankful to have been represented by Melissa Winthers and cannot express enough gratitude for all she has done for me.

I was in a horrific car accident that completely devastated me and changed my life as I know it. I was overwhelmed and lost and had no idea where to go or what to do. I sustained a TBI that led me to have cognitive changes as well as feelings of being lost and vulnerable.

I originally hired an attorney that did not communicate with me and did not take the time to understand my case or injuries. This resulted in poor advice and became a very costly mistake both physically and financially. Thankfully, I was then referred to Melissa.

Melissa and her team are remarkable. They took pressure off my plate by communicating well and also handling claims, bills and paperwork that I was unable to do. They were available for help and truly cared about my well being. Not only is Melissa compassionate, she is also knowledgeable about head injuries and physical injuries which enabled her to support me in my recovery process. I was not just a business deal to her.

Melissa Winthers was my attorney back in 2013. I was in a real bad car accident in 2009 that resulted in a traumatic brain injury, neck, back, spine, shoulder problems and two artificial hips. I AM VERY VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS LAW FIRM. She never fought for me she only went after the traumatic brain injury she sent me to a specialist that charged me $13,765 to diagnose the TBI. When my primary doctor questioned her on why she didn't go after all my other injuries and look at the other Drs evaluations she didn't have a comment. I guess it was too much work and the Brain Injury was an easy sell. This Law Firm is only out for themselves, they took 35% of what I was awarded which wasn't much. As for right now February 20th, 2020 I have just been diagnosed with nerve pain if the therapist cannot help with the pain and the issues I will then be forced to have back surgery. I'm only 57. Whose going to pay for this I am responsible for 20% of everything. The money that I did receive doesn't even come close to what I still owe. WHAT ABOUT MY FUTURE CARE I'M LEFT WITH A LOT OF PROBLEMS. THIS LAW FIRM WAS JUST LOOKING OUT FOR THERE BOTTOM LINE AND NOT CARING ABOUT THERE VICTIM , ME. I've been on disability since 2010 food stamps, leap and when leap is all gone I go to the Salvation Army and Volunteers of America for help. My heat is set at 50°. I could go on and on but it's not in my best interest mentally or physically. As I write this letter for the third time, because it keeps disappearing, I can only hope that I will be able to help one person out there to choose a different Law Firm. We are all victims and The Lawyers are just looking out for themselves. My 2nd letter was better. But I can't sweat the small stuff don't know how to retrieve my draft. Thank goodness for spell check and grammar. Lol

When searching for a personal injury lawyer, my wife and I wanted the very best. Fortunately, we found Melissa Winthers of Shapiro Withers, P.C., a nationally and Colorado recognized and rated "Super Lawyer" in her field. Melissa and the entire staff at Shapiro Winthers provided us exceptional legal assistance. Very approachable, they showed empathy, compassion, and professionalism throughout the representation process. We appreciated that Melissa and the team were easily accessible and very responsive to our calls and email messages. They kept us updated and answered all of our questions. They also broke down legalese and, instead, spoke with us in language non-lawyers can understand. We recommend Shapiro Winthers, P.C., highly!

Shapiro Winthers P.C. is an excellent blend of professionalism, empathy, and top notch experienced attorneys, paralegals and staff. I highly recommend them. Thank you for all you did for our family!

I am so grateful to have found Shapiro and Winthers. I felt supported and fully informed throughout my whole case and always knew I could reach out with any questions or issues at any time. I never felt like a number or that there was a dollar amount associated with my case. I was given realistic expectations and felt this firm worked every angle and fought for fairness against the bureaucracy of the car insurance world. Ms. Winthers' and her entire legal team are amazing.

I learned about Melissa Winthers from my PT after being rear-ended twice in a 12 month time period. They've been a wonderful firm to work with. I was able to focus on healing while Melissa and her team handled the insurance companies. I highly recommend this firm.

I am very grateful to Melissa Winthers and her team in resolving my car accident injury and damages claim. As I physically began my recovery, they kept me informed and answered my questions while pursuing the claim options. I am very happy with their success in getting the full insurance amount available.

I have never been in an auto accident or had to hire an attorney so I was kind of nervous. Melissa and her team made my family and I feel comfortable from day 1. Her main concern (and mine) was to get us to the right doctors to help us heal. It was definitely a long road to start feeling better again, but Melissa was with us every step of the way. I know she really cared about us. Accidents are scary and I will be forever grateful how her and her team took care of us. I would highly recommend her to anyone involved in an accident.

No one ever wants to have to hire a lawyer because it normally means something bad took place in your life. I am so lucky that I was taken such good care of by Melissa, my paralegal and everyone else involved in the process. They were always a simple email or phone call away and always were willing to talk me through anything and everything. A highlight for me was when Melissa would call and make sure I was feeling ok. The fact she cared so much about me just to check in and not even need anything really speaks volumes. While I hope I never have to use lawyer services again in my life I will return to them in a heart beat if the need arises!

I was coincidently referred to Melissa Winthers from my chiropractor Dr. Peter Ray in Thornton Colorado. I could not have been more blessed to come across such an Amazing law firm to handle all my legal needs especially now that I live in California they have made my car accident case extremely hassle free on my busy schedule. From Barb who already recognizes my voice every time I call in, to Gina who has been on top of every detail of my case, Michelle who has been there as a back up when no one is around to answer my questions/emails and Melissa who has dedicated herself to ensuring that I get most out of my settlement which I was definitely not disappointed. Thank You All for your support through the worst and assisting me get through my hardship I appreciate everything you have done for me and would recommend you in any case or situation!

I have known Melissa Winthers for over seven years and have utilized her services in several capacities, each one quite unique. She helped me through a personal injury case, and also helped me with a business matter. I am always impressed with her work. Before taking on a case, she does her due diligence and makes sure she has all the facts.

She is a well-rounded, compassionate person who clearly loves what she does. She is an advocate for her clients. She is also the president of the Brain Injury Alliance of Colorado, and I feel she is an excellent advocate and resource for anyone who has personally experienced a Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (MTBI), or has a loved one affected by it.

I highly recommend Melissa. Maneuvering through the legal world when you have been injured is very confusing. Melissa will make sure you are taken care of medically, and compensated for your losses. She is honest and fair.
