"From the beginning David stood out from all the other lawyers we contacted by his clear and straight communication."

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 Thai 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 litigation skills in court room changed our client’s life. David can be sure of her deeply felt gratitude.

"If you have a case that requires an attorney to advocate for you in a trust and estates matter, please contact David."

David retained me as a forensic document examiner to assist with authentication an alleged holographic will. David was extremely diligent and interested in the process. He attended the examination at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse to learn the attributes of the will. David is an excellent communicator and advocate for his client. He wants the truth of the examination, not an opinion that will not sustain cross examination. If you have a case that requires an attorney to advocate for you in a trust and estates matter, please contact David. He will be your strong advocate.

"David provided rational analysis of what he felt would be the best way to proceed and I put my trust in his judgement."

I contacted David Shapiro back in January of 2014 because I needed help with a problem involving the execution of 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 David provided rational analysis of what he felt would be the best way to proceed and I put my trust in his judgement. He was always polite and professional and fortunately the case finally did come to a satisfying conclusion. I would recommend David Shapiro -- he was professional, capable and trustworthy.

He helped me with some legal matters and was extremely smart, well organized and fair. He goes above and beyond the call of duty and is very easily accessible.
