Meet Anthony Shin
The most rewarding part about being an attorney is providing peace of mind to others. One reality of life is that people fear what they don’t know, especially when dealing with unfamiliar legal issues.

My Personal Statement
Prior to going to law school, I assisted my parents in running their restaurant inside the Loudoun County Courthouse. I had no intention of going to law school at that time. Every day I interacted with individuals that knew nothing about the court system. Often times, it was very clear that the customers were terrified about just being in a courthouse. As time passed, I soon realized that not knowing what was going to happen in the future was a common source of anxiety for many individuals. I would often get asked, “do you know if I will go to jail for this?” or “do you know if I will have to file for bankruptcy?” I felt helpless by not being able to provide a simple “yes” or “no”.
As more individuals asked questions, I became curious. I found myself going out of my way to ask local attorneys and judges questions about common issues. I knew I found a passion when I would be making breakfast meals while carrying on conversations with prosecutors and public defenders about cases and general strategies about an upcoming trial. As curiosity grew, I made a commitment to pursue law school.
From the day I chose to dedicate myself to serving the community, I realized the greatest sense of accomplishment was providing individuals peace of mind before going to bed at night, allowing a client to go home and enjoy dinner with his or her family, and/or allowing a client to forget any legal issues he or she had to deal with that day. The victories were won day by day. It dawned on me that a client will worry about tomorrow, but if he or she could control his or her anxiety for today, a step towards victory was complete.
My perspective has not changed. Lawyers cannot guarantee wins. Lawyers cannot guarantee losses. However, I believe we CAN guarantee investing a personal interest in each individual client, and CAN guarantee that we will do whatever it takes to find a legal resolution that a client is pleased with.
“The good lawyer is not the man who has an eye to every side and angle of contingency, and qualifies all his qualifications, but who throws himself on your part so heartily, that he can get you out of a scrape.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
