A great and committed lawyer

David is a great lawyer. Against the odds David managed to successfully secure the inheritance for our desperate client in Thailand who had almost given up hope to ever see her share in the US estate. I’m a German lawyer based in Thailand and helped our client to find a US attorney to represent her ...in the difficult probate procedure in the LA court. From the beginning David stood out from all the other lawyers we contacted by his clear and straight communication. He impressed me with his professionalism and commitment to help our client to obtain what she was entitled to. Our client does not speak English, so we depended on translators and sometimes difficult international phone conferences which David handled with admirable skill. But most importantly, David’s skills in court room changed our client’s life. David can be sure of her deeply felt gratitude.

I had a good experience with David Shapiro

I contacted David Shapiro back in January of 2014 because I needed help with a problem involving my parent's Living Trust. He listened to all my concerns, looked over the documents, and offered to represent me. It was a very unpleasant family situation for me for reasons I can't go into, but once I h...ad Mr. Shapiro representing me I felt significantly better. He provided rational analysis of what he felt would be the best way to proceed and his advice always seemed sound -- I was able to put my trust in his judgement. He was always gracious in our dealings and fortunately the case finally did come to a satisfying conclusion. I would recommend David Shapiro -- he was professional, capable and trustworthy.

If I could give more than 5 stars for Mr. Shapiro, I would.

I cannot thank Mr. Shapiro enough for the hard work he has put into my very complicated case. He is, hands down, the best trust litigator you can find on this planet. He will go above and beyond to protect you as a client, while still doing everything by the Law. Mr. Shapiro fights for every case as ...if it were his own; he will know you and everything about your case as if it were the back of his hand. On top of being a great attorney, he is a very down to earth and humble man. If you have any hesitation about using The Law Offices of David A. Shapiro, you can rest assured knowing that you will be in good hands.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
