Nathan A. Guest

Nathan A. Guest is a Partner and battle-tested Trial Attorney at Wilshire Law Firm, known for taking on manufacturers, insurance companies, and other large businesses in catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases. At home in front of a jury, Nathan combines sharp preparation with a calm, deliberate courtroom presence that consistently puts his clients in a position to win.  

Winning high-stakes cases takes more than knowing the law inside and out — it takes a real feel for how juries and judges respond to the facts in front of them. Nathan has built a reputation for connecting with people, earning their trust quickly, and breaking down complicated issues so they make sense to anyone in the room. That matters most in catastrophic injury and product liability cases, where defendants and their insurers are well-practiced at minimizing harm and shifting blame.  

Nathan takes a comprehensive approach to every case, weighing the fine details alongside the bigger picture of what the outcome means for his client's life and future. He keeps clients informed without burying them in legal jargon, and he knows which battles are worth fighting and which ones aren't. That combination of strategic judgment, clear communication, and courtroom skill has made him a trusted advocate for the people he represents.  

Nathan has tried numerous high-profile, high-exposure cases over the course of his career. Before joining Wilshire Law Firm, he spent years defending corporate clients at an international law firm and a Los Angeles litigation firm, and earlier in his career, he served as an Assistant Attorney General in the Civil Litigation Division for the District of Columbia.  

“Focus is an essential element of success in litigation, but it needs to extend beyond just the facts and the law of a case. A good advocate also needs to focus on what matters to those on the bench and in the jury box.”  

Nathan's time on the defense side taught him exactly what it takes to win against a major company. Today, he puts that knowledge to work for everyday people who suddenly find themselves facing one.
