Outstanding Divorce Lawyer – Compassionate, Skilled, and Highly Effective

Attorney Shin approached my case with empathy, professionalism, and an incredible depth of knowledge about family law. What truly set attorney Shin apart was his ability to balance a firm legal strategy with genuine care for my family’s well-being. He took the time to understand my priorities—ensu...ring a fair resolution for custody and financial matters while minimizing the emotional impact on my children. Throughout the process, Attorney Shin was always responsive, patiently addressing my concerns and explaining each step in a way I could understand. He possesses thorough knowledge of family law. Thanks to Attorney Shin, my case was finalized efficiently, and I now have a parenting plan that works for everyone involved. If you’re looking for a divorce lawyer who is not only an expert in family law but also compassionate and supportive during one of the toughest times of your life, then he is the one to call.

Do not recommend

I hired David when he was still practicing at his own firm in 2023. Early on he seemed to care about the issues surrounding the 3 children in my divorce and I felt pretty good about him representing me. He moved to Meriweather and Tharp in late 2023 and I wish i had moved on from him. The divorce dra...gged out until august of 2024, and i was billed non stop by his firm. They even sent me a bill after i paid them the total and the divorce was done. We’re talking in excess of 35000$ of billing, to just send communication emails from her lawyer. The worst part was the lack of preparation by this attorney. He represented me in 2 separate 8 hour mediations, and had nothing prepared each time. He didn’t address money that was moved from a joint savings account to her mothers account and my ex wife’s lawyer absolutely out classed him in every way. You will not be happy if you hire him or anyone at Meriweather and Tharp. They will bill you as much as possible and then do a poor job on your case.

An Excellent Attorney

I was in a very critical situation when I reached out to Attorney Shin for his services, and he proved to be a lifesaver. He was always professional, provided excellent customer service, and showed great care and attention to the sensitive matters involved. Attorney Shin was very responsive and took ...the time to fully understand my situation and concerns. I would highly recommend his services to anyone in need of such legal assistance.
