Overview
TRAVIS R. EASTON — CO-MANAGING PARTNER
Easton & Easton, LLP | Costa Mesa, California
EXPERIENCE & BACKGROUND
As one of the managing partners at Easton & Easton, Travis Easton has built an impressive career on a strong foundation of stellar education and a passion for Plaintiff's personal injury litigation. Working alongside his father Doug and brothers Brian and Matt, Travis is part of a family of attorneys uniquely able to synergize their efforts to achieve exceptional results for their clients.
Travis received his BA in 2011 from Brigham Young University, where he majored in English. He went on to attend the University of San Diego School of Law (continually ranked one of the top 10 law schools in California) where he received his Juris Doctor and was admitted to the California Bar in 2014.
Throughout his law school career, Travis filled his time with courses intended to help further his preparation as a personal injury trial attorney. While doing so, he obtained the highest marks possible in his Oral Advocacy Skills and Negotiation courses. Additionally, he received the CALI Award (an award for the top grade in the class) for his Advanced Torts course. Despite his busy schedule, Travis also worked as a Research Assistant for one of the esteemed law school professors, Michael Ramsey.
Travis' love for personal injury representation stems from his years of work for Easton & Easton throughout his adolescent, college, and law school years. Whether it was taking calls, drafting settlement demands, or organizing medical records, Travis saw firsthand how a person's damaged life could be changed for the better through hard work and effective advocacy by the attorneys at Easton & Easton. All of that training has led to Travis' immediate success as a practicing attorney.
RESULTS & CASE HIGHLIGHTS*
Travis has been the lead figure in some of Easton & Easton's most prominent cases in recent years and and has obtained more than $150,000,000 for his clients. Notable results include:
- $1,250,000 policy limits settlement shortly before trial (2019) — This case had previously been handled by another law firm for several years who had offered to settle for $25,000. Within 6 months of taking over the case, Travis resolved the matter for the full policy limits.
- Multiple 7-Figure settlements — Contributing to his lifetime selection to the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum® and 7 Figure Litigators®
- $32 Million bicycle accident settlement — #1 Bicycle Accident Settlement in California in 2024 (TopVerdict.com)
- $26 Million personal injury settlement — #1 Personal Injury Settlement in Los Angeles County in 2023 (TopVerdict.com)
- $22 Million bicycle accident settlement
- $20 Million premises liability settlement — Top 10 Personal Injury Settlement in the United States in 2019 (TopVerdict.com)
- $7 million premises liability settlement
- $4 Million truck accident settlement
In his first year of practice, Travis represented a client who was referred to Easton & Easton by another attorney who had only been able to acquire a $24,000 settlement offer in the case. After taking over the matter, remedying the problems that led to the insurance company's meager prior offer, and then persuasively advocating the matter to the insurance company, Travis was able to acquire the full $200,000 policy limits for his grateful client.
More recently, Travis represented a client who was riding a bullet bike that collided into two other vehicles. The client did not believe he caused the accident, but he could only remember that he was driving straight along the roadway prior to the accident. Unfortunately, based upon several false witness statements, the investigating officer had found their client at fault for the collision. Through hard work and successful advocacy, Travis was able to convince both of the other vehicles' insurance companies that the investigating officer was incorrect in his assessment. Both of the other drivers' insurance companies eventually offered their collective policy limits of $150,000.
Travis also had the special opportunity to try a medical malpractice wrongful death case with his father, Doug Easton. The case involved a doctor who violated the standard of care while performing a relatively simple lung procedure, which ultimately led to the death of the wife and mother of their clients. The defendant doctor made no settlement offer prior to trial despite his clear negligence because he had recently received a defense verdict on another medical malpractice case. In addition, the defense attorney who represented the defendant doctor was a very well-respected defense litigator who had not lost a case at trial in more than 10 years. Nonetheless, after several weeks of trial, the defense conceded that they were likely to lose and ultimately settled the matter for a confidential amount that exceeded Plaintiff's pre-trial offer by a significant amount.
Representing injured people against large insurance companies, corporations, and other so-called "Goliaths" brings a special satisfaction to Travis. Helping clients like these has become a passion that drives him to obtain justice for those who have been seriously injured.

PERSONAL
Like his father and brothers, Travis took two years off from college to serve as a missionary for his church in Tijuana, Mexico. While serving the people in Tijuana, Travis fell in love with the Hispanic people and their culture (especially the food). Travis continues to have a strong commitment to serving others. He volunteered during law school as a basketball coach for two years for the youth in his church congregation. Travis is an Eagle Scout and continues to serve in his church in many different capacities.
While in college, Travis married his beautiful sweetheart, Whitney, who has incessantly supported his desire to become an attorney. They feel lucky to have found one another and love to do everything together, especially traveling. They have two children, Will and Juliet, and Travis loves being a father. Travis also loves to participate in all types of sports and outdoor activities, including crossfit, basketball, baseball, golf, surfing, snowboarding, wakeboarding, and waterskiing.
