David handled my divorce, which was a difficult and complicated one initiated by my ex-wife and…read morecomplicated by home ownership claims by my parents. He agreed to handle my case when a number of other attorneys wouldn't help me because my assets were tied up by my wife's initial filing. His expertise and integrity guided me through the process in a way that enabled me to protect my assets while preventing my ex from making legal mistakes that would have harmed us both. He defended my interests vigorously while also trying to salvage the relationship with my parents and my ex. I am truly grateful for the help and guidance he provided during a very dark and confusing time and admire the way he was able to put my interests first while also considering the relationships involved. His fees were more than reasonable and he always made it a point not to do more than necessary to keep my bills lows. His integrity is beyond question and his experience extensive. I couldn't have chosen a better advocate and cannot recommend him enough.

I was looking up David's address when I saw a couple of his reviews and realized I had never…read morewritten one for him. I have to correct this oversight by telling my story. Over 15 years ago my wife filed for divorce and locked up all my finances. I called almost every divorce attorney in Marin, all of whom required large retainers before they would talk to me. In desperation, I asked for recommendations and was referred to David. He found my case interesting and decided to take it on and we were able to work out the finances. His first move was to free up my bank account and allow me to breathe. We then went on to stabilize my living situation and to negotiate with my soon-to-be-ex and her attorney. The divorce took a while but throughout the process, David helped me to keep a level head, focus on the best solution and get through the painful process. He was firm but fair to my ex, extremely protective of my interests and more concerned about his billing to me than I was. I will be forever grateful for his help and support and consider myself very lucky to have found him. He is certainly one of the best divorce attorneys you will talk with and has an excellent reputation with his colleagues and the courts. I consider him a friend and an ongoing resource and call him sometimes just to catch up. I highly recommend David for his professionalism, his character and his integrity.

I strongly caution anyone considering hiring Sharon Mah as a family law attorney. Based on my…read morepersonal and professional experience, I found her conduct to be unethical and harmful. She has demonstrated a pattern of misrepresentation and manipulative behavior that, in my opinion, was not only professionally inappropriate but careless, at best, and in reality, intentionally damaging. There have been multiple critical reviews of her practice, some of which appear to have been removed -- raising concerns about the integrity of the feedback available here. In my view, Ms. Mah does not prioritize the best interests of families or children involved in legal matters, and her actions may pose serious risks to their well-being. She continues forward, seeking clients that can pay her bloated fees, leaving extraordinary damage in the wake of her actions. While Ms. Mah may justify bad behavior and conduct as simply her job, it absolutely is not. Rather than drawing within the lines and advancing justice for her clients and her client's families with integrity, her apparent disregard for others endangers the long term well-being of her clients. If you're seeking a divorce attorney who is ethical, law-abiding, and capable of protecting your family's health and safety, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere. There are many excellent lawyers who adhere to professional standards and will serve your legal needs with integrity. If you seek legal counsel to serve as your weapon to damage others without discretion, I recommend rethinking your goals and reconsidering who you hire as an attorney. If you interview any lawyer who does not counsel you against abusive or illegal conduct, or refuses to exchange your money for her willing role to abuse others on your behalf, then keep looking. You and your children do have the possibility to preserve precious, fragile health and happiness. Short term thinking and acting on wounded emotions can inadvertently lead you to hire an attorney skilled at selling you on unnecessary aggression or your legal rights as permission for her to run up high legal bills for you through bad conduct leading to foreseeable counter-actions that then require responses, and so on, leading to completely unnecessary expense and damage to you.
