Shapiro Law Team’s Commitment to Community 

Embracing altruism as an integral part of its mission

by Tyler Butler

In the dynamic world of business, where success is often measured in profit margins and market dominance, the story of Shapiro Law Team stands out as a beacon of corporate citizenship. This Arizona-based personal injury firm, formerly known as David Shapiro Law, has not only carved a niche for itself in the legal arena but has also made altruism an integral part of its mission.

Founder David Shapiro embarked on his legal journey after law school. Under the guidance of a seasoned professional at a small personal injury firm, Shapiro honed his litigation skills and built personal connections with clients. Seven years of dedication paved the way for him to take a bold leap, establishing his own personal injury firm in Scottsdale, Arizona. What started as a modest operation with a dedicated team has now blossomed into Shapiro Law Team, a testament to the collective effort that propels its success.

Beyond the courtroom, Shapiro Law Team’s mission extends far into the realm of community advocacy and corporate responsibility. Its focus goes beyond legal representation, aiming to be a catalyst for positive change. The firm is unwaveringly committed to assisting innocent victims who have suffered due to negligence, a commitment that echoes in its approach to giving back to society.

At the heart of Shapiro Law Team’s values is a deep-rooted commitment to corporate citizenship. The firm actively engages with the community through strategic partnerships, such as its collaboration with MADD Arizona. In addition to providing care packages to those on the DUI Task Force, the firm actively educates the community on accident procedures and the importance of proper automobile insurance.

Shapiro Law Team’s philanthropic endeavors extend to various charities close to its members’ hearts. Notably, it supports the Usher 1F Collaborative, funding medical research for Usher Syndrome type 1F, a rare eye disease affecting David Shapiro’s sister. The firm’s charitable spirit also reaches organizations H.E.L.P., St. Mary’s Food Bank, The CARE Organization, Little Pink Houses of Hope, Jewish National Fund and Jewish Federation of Greater Phoenix.

Dawn Marie Rapaport, founder of H.E.L.P., acknowledges the impact of Shapiro Law Team, stating, “The Shapiro Law Team is fighting against hunger with children in need through our HelpSnackz program. Their support helps us make a difference and is leaving a lasting impact.”

To instill a culture of community involvement, Shapiro Law Team encourages its employees to dedicate time to volunteering and charitable contributions. Team-building events with a strong emphasis on volunteering, often in collaboration with organizations like St. Mary’s Food Bank, contribute to a sense of shared purpose. The firm actively participates in community events such as the Brain Injury Alliance of Arizona’s Run, Walk and Roll for Brain Health.

One notable initiative is the Shapiro Safe Driving Giveaway, designed to reward safe, distraction-free driving with a $1,000 cash prize. Although it was temporarily paused during the rebranding phase, the firm remains steadfast in its commitment to revive the program, raising awareness about the dangers of distracted driving and rewarding safe practices.

The firm sponsors and participates in a range of events, including The CARE Gala, The Phoenix MADD Walk, The Angel Rally for the Pearce Family Foundation, and the CBI All for One Golf Tournament. In 2023, it successfully raised funds to support local families in need during the holiday season.

Shapiro Law Team doesn’t limit its support to financial contributions; it actively engages in team-building events that involve volunteering in the community. Its dedicated program Help for Heroes is aimed at giving back to first responders and the military.

The journey of Shapiro Law Team from a small personal injury firm to a significant force for positive change serves as a testament to its unwavering commitment to giving back. Its dedication to creating a better world is truly inspiring, setting a remarkable example for other businesses. It’s a compelling reminder that success isn’t just about financial gains; it’s about making a lasting, positive impact on the world around us.  

H.E.L.P.: Easing Hunger Struggles

In our community’s heart, H.E.L.P. (Homeless Engagement Lift Partnership) spotlights the nightly challenges faced by street-living youth. With many homeless families struggling to provide meals, H.E.L.P.’s HelpSnackz program steps in with daily nutritional support. Collaborating with school districts’ Homeless Liaisons, H.E.L.P. efficiently identifies and aids schools and students in need, serving as a crucial stepping stone to break the cycle of homelessness. Businesses are encouraged to join the movement to make hunger history for our youth.
