About Sutton A. Shapiro
Sutton A. Shapiro, Esq. is a veteran Trial Attorney with over twelve years of experience as an attorney and eighteen years' experience in law serving on the dedicated legal team at Wilshire Law Firm. Working from his expansive legal background, Sutton specializes in several areas of the law including personal injury law, employment law, commercial litigation, and much more. Due to his passionate desire to help innocent accident victims and their families, Sutton focuses on personal injury cases. Mr. Shapiro is deeply familiar with all phases of law and motion, from formulating litigation strategies and preparing cases for trial to handling complex interstate depositions and discovery. His unique legal solutions to the challenges his clients face have helped him secure many favorable settlements on his clients' behalf.
Sutton attributes this success to the specific and custom approach that he brings to every case he works on; he takes time to build trust and respect with his clients and combines this with his invaluable legal expertise to achieve proven results. Sutton's inspiration for being a lawyer was to zealously advocate for his clients in court and speak on their behalf.

If you cannot be a good listener, you cannot be a good lawyer.

A Los Angeles jury awarded $35,285,942 to an 81-year-old man who suffered a spinal fracture and permanent injuries after a tractor-trailer rear-ended the vehicle he was riding in on Interstate 10.
A Los Angeles jury awarded $30 million in noneconomic damages in 2023 to Kenya Taylor, whose 6-year-old son was beaten to death by a Los Angeles Unified School District playground worker she had asked to watch him over winter break, and put 90 percent of the fault on the district. The Court of Appeal reversed in June 2025, holding that Education Code section 44808 made the district immune because the death happened off campus, and directed judgment for the district.
An 11-year-old with an IEP requiring door-to-door transport was abandoned at the school curb by district staff, struck by a car on a four-lane road, and left with permanent brain damage; the $28.5 million settlement against Victor Elementary School District was the largest pedestrian accident settlement in California in 2019.
A Los Angeles jury awarded $13,872,900 to a 42-year-old motorcyclist who said a low-speed collision caused neck and groin injuries. In December 2025 the Court of Appeal vacated the judgment and ordered a new trial because the plaintiff disclosed a new medical expert seven days before trial.
