Very positive experience with David Shook!

David was able to help with power of attorney matters for my mother and with other legal matters involving with their estate. He was very communicative, professional and extremely helpful throughout the entire process. Additionally, he was very good with my elderly mother with his welcoming and fri...endly personality.

Great Attorney

I believe that I had a more complicated case than most people. I had hired an attorney to help me with my case prior to meeting David. The attorney I hired, in my opinion, struggled with all of the moving parts of my case. After meeting with David, I decided to hire him to handle my case. Commu...nication was great throughout the process. David was able to put me on a path to resolution. My opinion is not all attorneys are created equal, if you are exploring Bankruptcy, then David Shook should be your attorney!

Judgement Lien

Luckily, David was referred to me by another attorney who felt his knowledge and expertise would better serve my needs. I've found this to be true. He devised a plan, expedited the paperwork due to time restrictions, had defendant served, spoke with defendants attorney , and countered an offer within... one month. Most refreshing was his willingness to continually update me with new information throughout this process . He has proven to be a great TEAM player. I find him personable, knowledgeable, informative, organized, decisive, firm, attentive to detail, and willing to go the distance while representing me and my interests.

Guided us down right path

Mr. Shook helped us understand all our options and guided us down the right path for our family and our rental business. I would highly recommend his firm to anyone exploring bankruptcy options for personal and small business situations.
