Phenomenal lawyer

Mr. Douglas Arenivar is an outstanding lawyer. He was super patient with me, professional and guided me throughout my whole process. The thought of going through a whole custody battle while juggling work, school, and being a single mom was not easy. My ex put me through hell, but once I hired Dougla...s as my lawyer. My case was smooth, he got my ex to pay out most of my attorney fees, got child support now and won my custody battle. I highly recommend Douglas without a doubt and I will forever be grateful.

Happy Client!

When you first get married you never imagine that you will ever need a divorce attorney later in the future. Divorce is a difficult process and I did not know where to begin. Thankfully, I got referred to Mr. Arenivar and made a great choice by hiring him. I first got a consultation from him and he w...as very polite and did not rush me into making a decision to move forward with him. After a few weeks of research I made the decision to hire to him and it was a great choice. Throughout the entire process he was very patient and he would not mind explaining things over until I understood, which I really appreciate. He always returned calls/emails in a timely manner. He is very knowledgeable and I like the fact that he is honest and straight forward and always kept me updated on my case. I hope I never have to go through a divorce again, but if I did I would definitely seek his help again. I have also recommended him to my family and they too are happy with his services thus far. I’m a happy client!

family law attorney

On November 29 2018 my wife filled for divorce. At that time I asked her not to hired an attorney. Unfortunately she was adviced by a close relative to hired an attorney. i didn't know what to do. Her attorney wanted to much on alimony to the point were I was going to be working to just to support... her. I remember Douglas he was a customer of the dealership I work for. I called him set up an appointment. and by the time we went to court Douglas managed to negotiate the alimony to one fraction of what her attorney was demanding from me. And for five years instead of the life term she wanted.

Best lawyer ever :)

I hired Douglas to represent me in a family law matter which was somewhat complicated and messy. He was very patient and understanding and helped guide me along the way. He organized my case and always showed up early to my hearings. He was excellent in cross-examination and proved my case very thoro...ughly. I would gladly recommend Douglas to anyone seeking an experienced professional in this industry.
