Douglas Arenivar

Going through a divorce is not easy; it’s not only extremely stressful, but it’s even harder when you have kids involved. Not knowing where to start, what the process is, and being completely clueless totally described me prior to meeting Douglas Arenivar. I have personally had the opportunity to wor...k with Douglas after I was working directly with a Paralegal whom I was dissatisfied with. I felt like my Paralegal was always in a rush and didn’t have the law background I needed to help me with my situation. I then reached out to Douglas and was so glad I did. From the first consultation I had with Douglas I was blown away with his knowledge and professionalism. He was always very thorough in explaining the entire divorce process and guided me through each step. Douglas has always been someone who first listens, and then will give you his opinion and advice before making any decisions. He has always made himself available to answer any questions at all times of the day. Douglas was also big on resolving issues between both parties versus dragging on the case knowing how costly divorce can be. I would recommend Douglas in a heartbeat he has the education, legal skills, and dedication to assist anyone going through a divorce.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
