Incompetent
David shook is a complete mess! It’s not surprising that he has some positive reviews. If you’re a female, he will give you his full attention! He’s an arrogant,pompous pig whose focus is on the female anatomy!! If you’re a man trying to put your kids first. Run quickly away from Mr. Shook

Replied last February 16, 2018It is truly humbling to receive such a review. Being able to help a client in such a situation makes me appreciate what I do. But in the end it takes a parent to step forward. Albert did that and I’m glad I was able to play a part.

Pretty good
He is a good attorney. He tends to not be much on the aggressive side. I would still recommend him. I have paid him good money, and offering to pay more for a divorce. He tends to buy into the opposition's games.

Highly recommended attorney
I hired Mr. Shook for a divorce. Although my wife and I reconciled, Mr. Shook represented me very well. He was genuinely concerned about my situation and made himself available to me the best he could. His billing was fair and accurate.

Replied last April 11, 2017It is always nice to hear positive words from clients. It is satisfying to solve a client's legal problem. I know that divorce can be a long, onerous process that can be emotional and expensive. I strive to navigate my clients through this process as quickly and economically as possible.
