Shane Hapuarachy, a respected partner at Jacoby & Meyers, dedicates his practice to advocating for individuals faced with wrongful death cases and catastrophic injuries.
Shane's strategy in the courtroom is a direct reflection of his approach to life—believing firmly in the power of strategic thinking, diligent work, and the courage to embrace risks.
Before his time with Jacoby and Meyers, he made his mark as a partner at Cheong Denove Rowell Bennett & Hapuarachy, amassing an impressive series of successful outcomes, including several seven-figure verdicts and settlements against a wide array of defendants. Shane's tenacity has often resulted in jury verdicts for his clients that far exceeded initial offers.
Shane's educational background is just as impressive as his legal career. He pursued his law degree at Loyola Law School, where he not only earned a Public Interest Scholarship but also graduated in the top 15% of his class.

Shane's competitive nature isn't confined to the legal arena. He is an accomplished triathlete, mixed martial artist, and skilled poker player. His love for competition even led his family to win the title of three-time champions on Family Feud! A lover of challenges and a fierce advocate for his clients, Shane brings this winning spirit to everything he does.
Residing in Los Angeles with his wife, Amber, and their children, Shane's life is a testament to the idea that success stems from a blend of strategic insight, hard work, and the courage to take meaningful risks. His character, professional accomplishments, and personal interests all contribute to making him a compassionate advocate for those seeking justice.
