I can't recommend Brook Meakins enough as a divorce attorney. From the start, she was incredibly supportive and reassuring, always providing clear and realistic expectations. During the overwhelming and stressful early stages, Brook made everything much more comforting. She eased my stress and made me feel like I would get through it. Going through a divorce during Covid was tough, but Brook's excellent communication made everything smoother. Her team took on most of the work, lifting a huge burden off my shoulders. If you're looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate divorce attorney, I highly recommend Meakins Law.

I found Meakins Law to help guide me through my divorce and I’m so pleased with the services I received. I felt very overwhelmed and frustrated but had so much stress taken off when I started working with David to help me finish my case. Everyone I dealt with at Meakins Law was very communicative, transparent, and took away any intimidating feelings I had (especially during an emotionally difficult time!) I would highly recommend David/ Meakins Law to anyone in the Oakland- Berkeley area who needs a trusting divorce lawyer.

I've had nothing but wonderful experiences with Brook Meakins. She has helped me through some of the toughest times of my life. In addition to being kind and understanding, she is incredibly professional and excellent at what she does. She guided me through each step of the process and made me feel safe every step of the way. I will continue to use her services whenever I can.

Brooke was very helpful and honest about my case.

One of the highest rated and experienced teams in the East Bay area. People on reddit pointed me to Meakins, and they were right. The team cares and are so responsive and wonderful. I could not have wished for a better experience. They handled all of the paperwork with ease, and their representation in court was phenomenal. They made a stressful situation feel so smooth and manageable. Thank you Meakins!

I was very unlucky to suffer from multiple bad attorneys before I found Meakins Law. As soon as I had my initial consultation with Brook, I knew immediately that this was a genuine and extreme knowledgeable law firm based on how patiently and carefully Brook listened to me and how strategically she was able to quickly spot the problems and provide me few directions for the next step. Then I was lucky enough to have Meakins Law take my case, hold my hand and walk me through the dark, difficult and nasty process step by step towards the reasonable and fair end which was the ultimate goal I was looking for. David was my day-to-day attorney who worked on every detail of my case from handling every form, email to attending every hearing and eventually settled the case in a reasonable and victorious way. David is a super knowledgeable, ethical, strategic, persuasive, analytical to be able to read people and the case, dedicated and fearless attorney who will never give up on fighting for your best interest no matter how difficult the situation is. Brook was copied on every email of our conversation so both of them were fully aware of every detail of my case. This model is very unique, totally worked and financially efficient to the client. Unlike other law firms who may have a full house of staffs "work" on your case and show on your bills, in fact, nobody really knows what's going on with your case as all the works have been diced and layered to multiple people who don't even know you and your story. That's why David and Brook's good reputations are out there for so many reasons. Anyway, I can keep this review ongoing as I truly appreciate David and Brook for their professionalism and expertise in Family Law to save me from a difficult case. I also admire David and Brook as integrity, ethical and intelligent human beings who could always win people's hearts in the case because they ARE the good people & attorneys who have golden hearts and souls to help.

As an attorney myself, I know what it looks like to see an attorney advocate effectively. Brook exemplifies what it means to be an advocate. Throughout my entire divorce process, Brook frequently checked in with me via email or phone. She worked diligently to write emails, submit letters, and file requests on my behalf. And perhaps most importantly, she expressed understanding, guidance, and encouragement along the way while also being honest and clear about potential risks and difficulties. Even after the divorce proceedings concluded, Brook took the time to check back in to make sure I was comfortable with how the case was resolved and to inquire if there was anything else she could do. I cannot recommend her more highly.

I was delighted to work with David Worsham. He was reccomended to me by a friend. He was friendly and easy to talk to, but you really shouldn't care about that. He is extremely competent in working to set goals and executing them. He successfully negotiated a settlement for me in a timely manner under fairly adverse circumstances. Communication was concise and complete leaving me with few questions. I always felt confident that if there was anything to communicate it would be communicated to me in a timely manner. I had and have the utmost confidence in his ability to represent my interests. All of this made my divorce significantly less stressful than it would have otherwise been. Meakins Law is one the more expensive side of law firms in area, but the value and efficiency derived their expertise and professionalism easily offsets their hourly rate. You will not regret hiring David to represent you.

I have to say that Meakins Law is an excellent firm. Both Brook and all of her staff exemplify professionalism, responsiveness and a commitment to meet their clients' needs. I always felt that supporting and meeting my goals was their first priority and could not have asked for better representation in my divorce and the subsequent matters related to spousal support and custody that have come up over the last few years since my divorce.

I feel supported. Good lawyers and staff.
