William D. Shapiro Law Inc. Expands Footprint in Orange County

On May 8, 2025, William D. Shapiro Law Inc. celebrated a significant milestone by officially opening its new office in Santa Ana, California. This strategic move comes shortly after the firm secured a remarkable $28 million settlement against Orange County Social Services, as well as earning the prestigious 2025 California Lawyer of the Year Award (CLAY).

Attorney Brian Shapiro shared the firm’s pride in this achievement, emphasizing that the award was not merely a recognition of their legal prowess but a reminder of the lives they impact. He stated, "The CLAY Award is an inspiring accomplishment for our entire firm. However, our greater joy comes in knowing we helped a young child get the help she needs to live as long and full a life as she can. Her struggle, like so many of our clients, inspired us, motivated us."

This sentiment reflects the firm’s mission to stand for justice and advocacy for their clients, particularly in child welfare cases, where emotional stakes are high. The successful case, Hooker v. County of Orange et al, was not achieved without considerable effort, as the team handled extensive documentation and litigation to ensure their client received fair compensation.

The new office, located at 1020 N. Ross St. in Santa Ana, is a long-awaited addition for the firm, which has primarily operated out of the Inland Empire. William Shapiro commented on the significance of this expansion saying, "This Orange County addition has been a long time coming for our firm. While our initial office continues in the Inland Empire, we're now better equipped to help those living and working in Orange County with our new location."

The past years have been marked by success for William D. Shapiro Law Inc., with numerous seven and eight-figure verdicts and settlements, showcasing their excellence in legal representation. William Shapiro himself has been recognized as Trial Lawyer of the Year by the Orange County Trial Lawyers Association multiple times. Additionally, Brian Shapiro recently received the 2025 Street Fighter Award from the Consumer Attorneys of the Inland Empire (CAOIE), further solidifying the firm's reputation in the legal community.

With this new office, the firm aims to improve client accessibility and personal interaction, something that both Bill and Brian Shapiro value highly. "Citing our results, we're honored to have so many people reaching out to us in Orange County and beyond, it was simply time to open up a location providing greater access to our clients making our desired personal meetings and contacts easier," Brian added.
