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!

Great Attorney

Mr. Shook was knowledgeable, thorough and sorted through all the facts to provide a positive outcome in my case. He was able to put my mind at ease at a most troubling time.

Thank you!

I would recommend Mr. Shook to anyone who is in need of legal advice. He was able to negotiate on our behalf and kept our company from having to file bankruptcy. Even in our stressful times Mr. Shook was a pleasure to work with and kept the situation positive.

An attorney who LISTENS!

Mr. Shook is a fantastic attorney. Going through bankruptcy is a rough thing, but with a good attorney, you can feel hopeful. That is exactly what Mr. Shook did for me and my husband. We no longer feel choked by the process. Mr. Shook answers all questions in a timely manner, and always in a polite a...nd conversational way (not a quick one sentence reply where you feel he doesn't care or didn't real your email). The process is never an easy one, but having someone like Mr. Shook on your side, it definitely feels like a battle that can be won!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
