History
Meakins Law was established in 2010 [called the Law Office of Brook Gwendolyn Meakins at the time]. Since 2010, Brook has gathered a team of skilled, fresh, dynamic, and talented staff. Together, we have helped hundreds of clients navigate through the divorce and custody process. We love working with our clients, especially when they want what is equitable and fair, and are just unsure of how to attain that or want advocates on their side. We have a friendly office in North Berkeley, and a SF location as well. We pride ourselves on responsiveness, and communicate to a large extent by email with our clients - for cost-effectiveness, ease of future reference, but most importantly, respecting the fact that our clients are busy and productive people. We are calm, fun, creative, efficient, and most importantly - we see the light at the end of the tunnel, and then guide our clients along with us.
Specialties
As family law attorneys, we're first and foremost client advocates. Family law is not a 9:00-5:00 job and it's not just about legal documents. We're advisors, counselors and educators. In family law, an important part of our job is communication--letting our clients know what to expect and keeping them apprised of what is going on throughout the course of the proceedings. Meakins Law is a family law practice specializing in pre-marital agreements, divorce, custody, visitation, and support. When it comes to family law, we are often dealing with people who are in highly volatile and emotional situations. We take pride in making the legal process as seamless as possible.
