“We pride ourselves on being community-oriented. We’re all active in the community. We encourage our employees to be active in the community. I think that reflects well on us.” – Daniel Galvin, managing shareholder.
Shapiro, Galvin, Shapiro & Moran, first established in Santa Rosa by Everett Shapiro in 1968, was voted “Best Law Firm” by NorthBay biz voters once again. Today, the firm meets the legal needs of individuals and businesses in the fields of personal injury, civil litigation, business law, employment law, estate planning, real estate law, and construction law.
“Adrienne Moran is a specialist in the employment area, in addition to her litigation experience,” says Daniel Galvin, managing shareholder of Shapiro, Galvin, Shapiro & Moran. “Tad Shapiro specializes in personal injury and I specialize in construction-related work. I represent a lot of contractors and sub-contractors, and material suppliers and do a fair amount of estate planning and general business.” Galvin credits their long-standing history of providing excellent legal services in the community to their award-winning success.
“We have great name recognition because we have such a good local presence,” says Galvin. “All three of us are native to Santa Rosa. We’re all active in the community. We have a visible location downtown that people recognize, and we provide quality legal services.”
Since all of the attorneys at Shapiro, Galvin, Shapiro & Moran are lifelong residents of Sonoma County and enjoy being part of the community in which they work, they are also happy to give back to its citizens.
“We just celebrated 50 years last year,” says Galvin. “We pride ourselves on being community-oriented. We’re all active in the community. We encourage our employees to be active in the community. I think that reflects well on us.”
