Applying Thirty Years of Legal Ethics to a New Mission
For over 30 years, Parker Shaffie LLP has served as a leading authority on legal ethics and professional responsibility. Today, we are bringing that same rigorous ethical advocacy to a new mission: representing survivors of child abuse, sexual abuse, and sexual assault.
The practice is co-led by Partner Shawn Shaffie and Senior Counsel Dave Zygielbaum, a former L.A. County Deputy District Attorney. By combining Dave’s 17 years of prosecutorial experience—including co-leading the Complex Child Abuse Section—with Shawn’s extensive litigation against private sector malfeasance, we offer a sophisticated, trial-tested path to justice.
“We aren’t just adding a practice area; we are bringing a trial-tested, ethically rigorous framework to this space because we believe that the pursuit of justice must be as honorable as the cause itself.” – Shawn Shaffie
Our Three Pillars of Advocacy
We view every case through the lens of institutional liability, ensuring that those who turned a “blind eye” are held to the highest standard of care. We deliver:
One: Vetted Accountability
Pursuing systemic failures that allow profound harm to occur.
Two: A Sanctuary of Advocacy
Providing a litigation process that preserves survivor dignity and avoids secondary trauma.
Three: Meticulous Pursuit of Justice
Securing comprehensive compensation for medical care, emotional distress, and lost earnings.
“By combining the commitment to accountability shaped through years of public service with our firm’s deep foundations in legal ethics, we are setting a new standard for how these matters are handled,” says Dave Zygielbaum.
If you have a matter requiring this specialized level of care, or know someone who does – please contact us.
