David Shapiro began his career working under a longtime mentor who afforded him the opportunity to fast-track his litigation skills while also dealing with clients on a personal level. After several years in practice, Shapiro realized that opening his own firm would not only be what was best for his career and his family but also the community.
In the summer of 2017, he made the leap to open the Shapiro Law Team with one employee. The firm quickly expanded, adding driven attorneys and key staff members who shared Shapiro’s vision for providing exceptional and aggressive representation to its clients.
Shapiro Law Team is dedicated to helping individuals who suffered an injury due to the negligence of others. Whether it is a motor vehicle accident, product liability, or wrongful death, the firm helps clients receive the maximum compensation they deserve for their injury, the pain and suffering they endured, their past and future medical expenses, the income they have lost since their injury and the income they will lose in the future.
As one of the fastest-growing law firms in Arizona, Shapiro has been nominated as a southwest super lawyer for the past five years, expanded his practice into New Mexico, and has seen exponential revenue growth year over year.
“David Shapiro is not only a well-respected trial attorney in the community, but he is also a business leader,” said his staff. “His business savvy in creating synergistic partnerships in the medical-legal space allows Shapiro Law Team to take on and fund many different types of personal injury cases, whether that be a complex trucking lawsuit which demands hundreds of thousands of dollars in costs and expert fees to win or expensive products liability cases against giant automobile or tire manufacturers.”
What makes Shapiro a titan in the legal community is his will and desire to pay it forward, said his staff. “David has always felt strongly that for Shapiro Law Team to be successful, the firm must develop young lawyers who can be taught and molded in the Shapiro brand/style of being client-focused, not being afraid to take risks, and trying cases in the courtroom,” they said.
As a leader, Shapiro said having drive, empathy, creativity and courage are crucial. “My drive pushes me to set ambitious goals and persistently pursue them, inspiring my team to strive for excellence,” he said. “I have a natural talent for engaging with others, making them feel heard and understood, and this skill helps me build strong relationships, resolve conflicts, and inspire collaboration, making it an invaluable asset in both my personal and professional life.”
