Robert Shapiro Biography

Robert Leslie Shapiro is an American attorney and entrepreneur known for his involvement in high-profile legal cases and his contributions to legal technology. A graduate of Loyola Law School, Shapiro began his career as a public prosecutor in the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office before establishing his own practice. He has represented prominent clients in criminal defense, including athletes such as Jose Canseco, Darryl Strawberry, and Vince Coleman, as well as musicians facing drug-related charges. Shapiro was recognized as Defense Counsel of the Year and played a significant role as a member of the defense team in the O.J. Simpson trial, later chronicling his experience in the New York Times bestseller "The Search for Justice."

Following the Simpson trial, Shapiro shifted his focus to civil litigation, handling complex business litigation, class actions, international law, white collar defense, SEC enforcement, and Foreign Corrupt Practices Act matters. His clients have included Wynn Resorts, Diamond Resorts, Rockstar Energy, and the president of Mobil Oil. Shapiro has been named to Southern California Super Lawyers, recognized in The Best Lawyers in America, and holds an AV rating from Martindale Hubbell.

In addition to his legal practice, Shapiro has co-founded LegalZoom.com, ShoeDazzle, RightCounsel.com, and BizCounsel.com, expanding his influence in legal technology and entrepreneurship. He has authored several books, including the novel "Misconceptions" and the children's book "Somo Says No," which addresses drug prevention and is distributed to schools nationwide. Shapiro frequently appears as a legal expert on CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC, and serves as an adjunct professor at Loyola Law School.

Motivated by personal loss, Shapiro established The Brent Shapiro Foundation for Drug Prevention, a nonprofit organization focused on raising awareness about drug and alcohol abuse. Through initiatives such as Brent's Club, which operates in partnership with Boys and Girls Club of America, Shapiro advocates for drug prevention and education, reflecting his commitment to public service and legal advocacy.
