About Mei Shih

Transitioning from a known past to an uncertain future can be daunting, both emotionally and legally. That's where I step in! My name is Mei (pronounced may), and I am an attorney focusing on family law, guardianship, and estate planning. Consider me your guide and advisor, here to assist you in navigating the complexities with a blend of legal knowledge and a coaching approach. My aim is to create a supportive, educational environment where you feel empowered and informed at every stage. Together, we'll handle the legal aspects and ensure you're prepared for whatever lies ahead! Having grown up as a "language broker" for my non-English-speaking parents, I learned the importance of patience, the value of empathy, and the power of clear communication. These skills are central to my legal practice, where I assist clients in deciphering the sometimes daunting realm of family law. Whether it's simplifying legal terminology or maneuvering through intricate statutes, I am here to provide clarity and confidence throughout the process. When life becomes complexβ€”such as ending a long-term relationship or initiating a parentage actionβ€”you don't have to go through it alone. My mission is to make the legal process accessible and comprehensible, guiding clients with compassion and knowledge every step of the way. With over 14 years of experience as a practicing attorney, I understand that family law is not a one-size-fits-all matter. That's why my practice offers non-litigated traditional representation, collaborative divorces, and unbundled services designed to meet your specific needs. I am committed to offering clients more than just what they want to hear. Leveraging my courtroom experience and over 14 years of legal practice, I provide thoughtful insights, helping you make informed decisions confidently. At the core, my goal is to ensure you feel supported, informed, and empowered throughout your legal journey.
