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

Best lawyer ever
David is a amazing lawyer and he truly cares about his clients. He helps us get our daughter out of a harmful environment. We are beyond grateful to him.
It 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.

David Shook Law Firm
I called Mr Shook on a Thursday morning in order to have a motion entered (to reverse a temporary custody Order) prior to 3:00 pm on Friday (if not done by this time, then the case would have taken much longer and many more visits to the court house). He was able to get the job done by 10:30 am on F...
It was truly a pleasure representing Miguel's daughter in Seneca County Juvenile Court. When a client has been wronged it is truly a pleasure to be able to right that wrong and to do so in a quick fashion. It is especially gratifying to reunite a mother with her children.

As a father it is truly gratifying to help another father regain custody of the children, especially when that father's children were wrongfully removed from their custody. I know the importance of children and strive to provide all of my clients the representation they deserve during such a trying time.

I'm glad Dallas was pleased with my services. It is truly a pleasure to help a client obtain a result that makes them write such a review. I strive to get these kind of results for all my clients. In the end I would like to think I help all my clients. Often, it is the client who is the biggest help to a case, and Dallas was just such a client.
"Mr. Shook is a highly respected attorney in his community and I recommend him to meet your legal needs."
"I endorse this lawyer. He is ethical and knowledgeable. I know that when he is on the other side of a matter, he will be pleasant and efficient; he will not create conflict where none exists. He is responsive and protects his clients. He is a good advocate."
