About Meakins Law

You are reading these words in private. The people you are close to do not even know that you are struggling, scared about the shifting sand you find yourself standing on. Sure, over the years you had fleeting thoughts about being single again - every once in a while you were envious of the single guy you saw in the movies, your friends without kids who stay out late and sleep until whenever they want on the weekends, your younger brother who dates, travels, and scores great seats to the best games. This is not what you thought it would feel like. You are not liberated, you are terrified, empty, and lonely. Your wife was critical, demanding, and a shell of the fun-loving person she was ten years ago. But you miss her. Or, you miss something. You feel alone. You might not know if your kids wash their hair every day during bath time or when their last visit to the pediatrician was. But you know they need you, and you know that you need your own time with them. She knows this too, but there is a voice in the back of your head that reminds you that if things get ugly, they will be the ones that will suffer. She is a good mom, but she can be controlling and critical. They're good with her, but there is no way you are abandoning them. You also dread fighting the fight, and would avoid it at almost all costs. Your friends and family - the ones that know what is going on - only have horror stories about what to expect in this process." Lawyers are contentious and inflammatory." "You're going to spend $100,000." "She's going to take everything. "Why didn't you have a prenup?" Why don't you have a prenup, you wonder?

Mike Macievich

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'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.

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.

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 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.
