Law Office of Shawn T Leuthold

I feel very fortunate to have met Mr. Shawn, an attorney like no other. What’s most remarkable is that he is an American who can speak Chinese. Mr. Shawn possesses not only exceptional legal expertise but also outstanding professionalism and moral integrity. Among the Chinese-speaking lawyers in Northern California, it is rare to find someone with such strong ethical values. For clients involved in a case, it is invaluable to have an attorney who can truly help and protect them. Mr. Shawn patiently analyzes each case, eases clients’ worries when problems arise, and uses his intelligence and professional skills to help win cases. Unlike some other lawyers who intentionally leave their clients anxious and fearful about their case—causing them to spend unnecessary legal fees as if constantly consulting a “psychological counselor”—Mr. Shawn never takes advantage of his clients in this way. I highly recommend Mr. Shawn to anyone in Northern California who needs a trustworthy, Chinese-speaking attorney.

I've worked with Mr. Shawn for over three years, and he truly protected me and helped me win a very difficult case. He was always punctual for every court appearance and consistently showed humility and respect, leaving a great impression on the judge. He is extremely professional and focused—his level of dedication to the case was truly rare. I've worked with many attorneys before, and he is the only one who made me feel completely confident and at ease. Most importantly, he actually helped me win. I'm deeply grateful for everything he has done. Such a good lawyer deserves to be recommended to many more people.

I am so grateful to have met Shawn Leuthold, not only is he a highly effective and intelligent business attorney who can handle complex negotiations, but he is one of the most decent and honest people I have ever met. I was in the position of ending a decades long marriage with a long separation, and as the wife of a company owner who had plenty of legal and consulting assistance, I felt rather helpless. At the same time, I was not after an acrimonious divorce, which I seemed headed for with most of the attorneys I interviewed. Shawn guided me through an extremely complex dissolution involving not only the unforeseen purchase of the company with international obligations and complex taxes, but also the heart wrenching and sudden sale of the family home due to loans and outstanding company debts. He also oversaw the equitable division of company stock and resulting future payouts. Shawn defended both my interests and indirectly, my husband's interests, during the contentious acquisition and he successfully and calmly navigated a disagreement with a Korean company that was about to go wrong, while always having my back. The money he saved us during these negotiations probably ended up covering a large portion of his fees. I found Shawn to be extremely professional, responsive, and able to easily communicate and condense information, explaining it in everyday understandable language. His top notch analytical and research skills were especially helpful for this case. Shawn is patient and calm, but make no mistake, he will absolutely defend you and be extremely forceful when circumstances call for it. Believe it or not, he is literally what an attorney should be, committed to justice and doing the right and respectful thing while always doing what it takes to have his client’s interest in mind. Shawn, while still representing me, communicated extremely well with my self-represented husband, to the point that my husband left the proceedings praising Shawn's skills and the overall result for both of us. During these stressful times Shawn somehow managed to bring an optimistic viewpoint to life while still being truthful and realistic regarding the results. He even took the time to be a calming influence and speak to my adult daughter who was concerned regarding the welfare of both of her parents. If you have somehow managed to have found Shawn to represent you as your attorney, consider yourself very lucky, I certainly do.
