Founder of the Law Offices of W. Douglas Easton (now Easton & Easton, LLP), Attorney W. Douglas Easton is renowned in Costa Mesa, California. His legal journey of over 45 years is highlighted by his dedicated advocacy for thousands in personal injury cases. These individuals faced injuries spanning various accidents due to the negligence of others, be it individuals, businesses, or government entities.

Initially, Mr. Easton spent six years on the other side, defending negligent parties. This experience provided insights into the strategies used to undermine legitimate personal injury claims. Later, he shifted his focus to champion the rights of the injured, striving to secure just and appropriate compensation. Assisted by his sons (Brian, Matt, and Travis), the Easton Law Firm has successfully recovered more than $100 million for plaintiffs.

Mr. Easton earned his honors from Brigham Young University and his law degree from the University of California at Berkeley in 1970. He’s authorized to practice before the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals and the United States Federal District Courts for the Central, Northern, and Southern districts of California. Actively involved in various legal bodies like the Consumer Attorneys of California, the American Association for Justice, the Trial Lawyers for Public Justice, and the Orange County Trial Lawyers Association, he’s consistently featured in The Best Lawyers in America since 2007. Moreover, his recognition in Super Lawyers since 2009 underscores his standing in the legal community.
