About Thurman

A native of Palm Springs, Attorney Thurman W. Arnold has been providing family law services to the residents of his home city for 32 years. He began his post-secondary education at Reed College of Portland, OR, back in 1974, earning a Certificate of Excellence for his achievements there. He went on to attend UC Santa Barbara, where he earned his B.A. with honors. After receiving his J.D. from Lewis and Clark School, and serving as a member of its nationally recognized Environmental Law Review, he was admitted to the California bar in 1982.

 

He joined his father and began practicing civil law in Palm Springs, but soon recognized his passion and talent for helping people get through the emotional and financial strains of intra-family disputes. To better assist his clients in this pursuit, he became a Certified Family Law Specialist, which has given him extensive knowledge on the subject of family law. He is also a California Superlawyer and Martindale AV rated. He is honored to serve those with family law cases such as complex property division, spousal support, marital agreements, child support, parental rights, the division of family businesses, and related topics.

  

As a fifth generation attorney whose grandfather was appointed Assistant Attorney General of the United States by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Attorney Arnold strives to uphold the legacy that a long line of men before him had begun. He is dedicated to ethical and tough representation, yet he incorporates Zen mindfulness techniques in helping his clients to manage divorce reactivity. He believes that those who apsire to peacemaking or who hire peacemaking attorneys with huge experience end up with much better outcomes, and less financial and emotional burdens, even if portions or all of their cases must be litigated.

  

Mr. Arnold is an avid writer, providing much free legal assistance and helpful information on his website and The Enlightened Divorce Blog™. His goal is to help people make informed decisions about their family law matters, no matter if they are his clients or visitors to his Divorce Blog (which now receives almost 1 million page reads each year). To judge for yourself, visit his website or make an appointment with his firm to take advantage of a free initial consultation!

Review Thurman Arnold

Exceptional knowledge, compassionate approach...

Posted by

I’m pro per and needed a second opinion on my complex court filing. Mr Arnold gave me exceptional advice, highlighting the weaknesses and strengths in my arguments ( immediately targeting and prioritizing the critical aspects, and then backing up his review with an impressive knowledge of the law) I was genuinely impressed, not only with his expertise, but his compassion and kindness in dealing with my difficult circumstances. He took time to make sure I understood, gave exemplary advice and saw the case from all angles. Don’t hesitate to contact him for a second opinion, you won’t regret it.

Five star excellence for second opinions

Thank You The advice I received 01/04/19 form Mr. Arnold on my legal endeavors, as one quoted is "as good as it gets." Mr. Arnold gratuitously assisted me with the next direction to re-file my request to reduce or terminate a prior award of spousal support with great optimism. Patient to listen. Second Opinion Client. Northern, Ca.

Review of the Law Firm of Thurman W. Arnold III

Posted by

I am writing this review of the Law Firm of Thurman W. Arnold III to express what I can only describe as stunned joy. I was married for 18 years, and had to file for divorce to have my spouse removed from the home to keep the State from removing the children. Following that initial action, I had nothing but bad experiences with the court system. By the time the divorce was granted, several years had passed. I had changed jobs at reduced income, but was not allowed any relief in alimony. My experience to that point led me to conclude I would never be successful in court. This year I suffered a layoff that led me to search for an attorney who could help me reduce or eliminate the ongoing financial burden. Online research led me to Mr. Thurman Arnold. I cannot be more pleased with the process and the result. When I first met with Mr. Arnold, he was extremely knowledgeable and honest. He asked all the right questions and listened to my situation. He didn’t try to conclude any approach at the time, just listened to my situation and confirmed the laws and the process. He, and his staff, located my earlier court transcripts, did their research, and found the correct approach to presenting the case. My experience overall has been extraordinary. The support team, Diane and Kristin, stayed on top of everything. They kept me aware of the process, and ensured we would not miss a paperwork deadline. They confirmed I would be able to attend the hearing by telephone, as I now live over 1,400 miles away. They provided the correct forms, filed on time and scheduled my visits with Mr. Arnold in the most efficient manner. These ladies really know their stuff and handle everything extremely well. The result of the court hearing was beyond any expectation I could have had. Mr. Arnold was prepared, and his presentation was impeccable and assertive. The result was very favorable. In short, I highly recommend the Law Firm of Thurman W. Arnold III to anyone. Randy J., 10/4/17

Divorce/Family Law

Posted by

The Law of Office of Thurman W. Arnold III, specifically Mike Peterson, were a god-send during my divorce. My wife separated and filed for divorce while I was deployed and Mike provided professional and personal advice that helped keep on track on a, relatively speaking, drama-free divorce w/ children. I was a bit concerned at first considering the retainer fee and the hourly rate however, Thurman Law Offices don't waste your time or money. Professional and stream-lined, I have owe much to Mike Peterson and his staff's handling of my case... while I prefer not to be divorce and a single-dad, Mike set me up for a future unencumbered by the financial woes inherent to divorces. Highly recommend and would refer the law of offices of Thurman W. Arnold III anytime to anyone.

Outstanding among Outstanding!

This is an honest five star rating I am happy to give, with some length, for the benefit of those who are facing real legal situations that can have real long-term consequences: I spoke directly with the chief attorney, Mr. Thurman Arnold himself, Feb. 1st, 2016. He gave me a second opinion on my legal case, divorce with children, discussing several aspects at some length, a case that has been protracted for coming on three years with numerous difficulties and anomalies. As is not uncommon in divorce, "Oh that I knew then what I know now." I was relatively new to California and certainly did not know which attorney to choose at the outset in 2013. Wish I had known at the outset about Mr. Arnold's law firm ... which is WHY I am giving this review and recommendation ... perhaps others searching the internet for attorney reviews can benefit from this and all the other reviews that paint a consistent (hard worked for) glowing review of this Law Firm, from experience. Had I been astute enough to check reviews of my former attorneys, I would NOT have hired them, but divorce is a dark tunnel so often entered with many pressures and much ignorance of the road ahead. WEBSITE! I first have to say that I was already impressed with Mr. Arnold from his amazing website! Wow! Here is an attorney who not only is an obvious consummate professional with exceptionally broad and deep understanding of Family Law, but a man with ethics and perspective. I believe he even uses the word "holistic", which is to imply a perspective that Family Law deals with actual people, parents and children, adults, who have had a life before and will have a life after legal dissolution. MEDIATION! His firm also offers "mediation", which I truly believe is the BEST route whenever possible, and that is a big whenever possible. Initial Mediation at the outset of divorce, at the worst: would educate parties to the law and options and typical outcomes in the real world, still leaving open the option to pursue adversarial litigation, trials, emotional and financial affliction [think about that option!]. At best, Mediation can resolve the entire matter in the most timely, least hostile and most cost-effective manner, preserving and mapping out considerate livable outcomes for everyone. I used to be a Real Estate Broker on occasion doing Mediation, and have raised many children and done plenty of mediation between spouse and Ex, (I am 57 yrs young), so I have some experience with the role. Most of us know there are cases where it is not possible to be reasonable, amicable or fair in dissolving a relationship that has all kinds of tangents to it, as in my case. EDUCATION & PERSPECTIVE: Did I say Mr. Arnold has an amazing website? I have had two previous attorneys in my case, at the outset, then of necessity going self-represented ("Pro Per") for the bulk of time including two lengthy separate Trials addressing Custody/ Visitation & complex high finances. I am the "out-spouse" as Thurman calls it, the one without the money after separation, but a fairly well-educated pro per at this point of Appellate filings, extensive litigation with documentation in law and case-law studies, evidence and briefs, "blah, blah, blah" (as Thurman would realistically say). Mr. Arnold's website is loaded with so much valuable information it is outstanding among outstanding loaded websites, going FAR beyond a sales pitch, offering, FREE of charge, knowledge and insight that is incredibly useful and educational. I have used some of his shared knowledge already in my filings. Again, his 'holistic' approach is one of being strong to secure a decent lawful position in a dispute, but an approach that is sensible and cognizant of the big picture and what is realistically going to come from the rights and views of "the other side" in courts. His discussion with me reflected this in person, giving realistic while encouraging advice. I wish you well, Sincerely, Doug H.

A KNOWLEDGEABLE FAMILY LAW ATTORNEY WITH INTEGRITY; EXPERIENCE; AND COMPASSION!!!

Posted by

I live in Northern California and I recently hired Thurman Arnold III as a "Second Opinion Lawyer" for my long drawn out divorce case, and particularly for my upcoming hearing on modification of spousal support. While I have previously had three other attorneys, I could not find competent legal help from anyone for my latest legal issue in my Family Law matter. That is, until I conferred with Mr. Arnold. Mr. Arnold is not only an expert in the field of Family Law, but also courteous and compassionate. I received answers that I had never received before from my other attorneys. I found Mr. Arnold's website while searching the internet for legal help and had one of those gut feelings that he was the "real deal." I was correct! Mr. Arnold's website has a wealth of information regarding Family Law which is very helpful for those who have not had luck with former attorneys or those people that are representing themselves, particularly for complex situations. In addition, Mr. Arnold performed extra work for me, at NO charge showing his dedication to his profession. It is obvious that he is experienced and wants to help people. He is an honor to the legal profession! I urge anyone that is looking for a competent, knowledgeable and experienced attorney to consider hiring Mr. Arnold and read his reviews here at Avvo. I am sure you will see the same that I did. I am so very glad I found Mr. Arnold and I now feel I can move forward with my case with the legalese and expertise Mr. Arnold gave to me. I can't say enough wonderful things about this great attorney! I only wish I had found him a few years ago, but am so very glad that I found him now to help me with my case. Thank you Thurman Arnold!

CALIFORNIA FAMILY LAW GURU!!

As a young and now an old family law attorney, Mr. Arnold is my go to on getting the concise and up to date "low down" on developing family law issues. I am so grateful for his generosity in reaching thousands of practitioners and lay people in his selfless efforts to simplify and streamline the practice and participation in family law litigation. Thank you Mr. Arnold!!
Thurman Arnold's response: Kelly - you are so gracious and kind to provide this feedback, which we both know is grossly exaggerated. I have to admit that feeling useful is a great motivator and reinforcer for more than a few hours of effort, and I thank you deeply for making me feel good about what I do in my legal writings. Now I want to write another blog! Please reach out to me by email so I know who you are!

Thank you Thurman arnold and thank you to your staff as well

Thurman Arnold represented me in my prior divorce. He did an incredible job at representing me and I was more than pleased with the outcome. I had met with several other attorneys prior to retaining him and was told basically I would be paying much more than I expected in the settlement. Mr Arnold assured me he would do everything in his power to help and that he did. Saving me a great deal of money. He was always there to take my calls and when he was not his staff was very polite and helpfull. Mr Arnold would also return phone calls after hours. Divorce can be a horrible thing to go through, Mr Arnold made it so much easier. So I recently seeked him out on my recent divorce. I live in Nevada but he was able to help me quickly serve my wife in Calif. before she was able to serve me. The same day the case was filed she was served by his office within 2 hours. I couldn't be more grateful to him and his staff for all there help. Owning busnesses in the Palm springs area and living there for over 17 years I would highly recommend Thurman Arnold for your Family Law needs.

Best LGBT Divorce Attorney in California

Posted by

This is a long overdue review of Mr. Arnold and his team. Like a lot of same-sex couples looking to dissolve a long-term domestic partnership, I was shocked and overwhelmed by the vastly complicated and rapidly changing laws regarding California same-sex domestic partnerships/marriage laws. After meeting with several attorneys throughout Southern California, there was no doubt in my mind that Mr. Arnold was not only the most literate and up-to-date with current laws, he truly is an advocate for those who may have been mistreated and do not have the same level of resources as their ex's. Mr. Arnold was amazing at explaining the process each step of the way and offered me options for proceeding with an extremely complicated and far less than amicable legal process with the other side. Mr. Arnold is genuinely empathetic but is also completely forward and honest with realistic settlement/process expectations, unlike many other lawyers I met. Honestly, he is the first lawyer that I have encountered who I could describe is having integrity. His legal assistant, Diane deserves a medal. She has been so helpful and kind but also very straightforward and responsive. Without hesitation, I would recommend Mr. Arnold to anyone seeking representation for divorce or dissolving a domestic partnership. He is certainly the most experienced and knowledgeable attorney for any LGBT person in California to have on their side.

Mr. Arnold is one of the toughest and most experienced attorneys in the desert area. His skills are exceptional and he is one of the very best litigators in the family law arena.

Lisa Arnquist, Family Attorney on Sep 14, 2015
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I would highly recommend Mr. Arnold to any potential client seeking his services. He has accumulated seemingly endless experience and Sage wisdom which he shares freely and uses to guide his clients to successful results. He has retained his passion for helping others and his genuine concern for people can't help but change anyone's negative view about attorneys. He is also a dragon in Court and will reduce the opposing counsel to cinders, if necessary, but is responsible enough with all of that fire power, to wield it wisely.

Wazhma Mojaddidi, Family Attorney on May 7, 2015

Mr. Arnold authors a blog on his website that is an excellent tool for any family law practitioner. As a family law attorney, I regularly rely on the information that he provides on his website. I would recommend his website to any attorney or self-representing party. When I was faced with a complex property issue in my case, Mr. Arnold provided invaluable feedback during a consultation. He represents all that is good in the legal community. Thank you Mr. Arnold for being a passionate and knowledgeable attorney who is actually making a difference!

I wholeheartedly recommend this attorney to anyone in need of a family lawyer in the Palm Springs and Palm Desert area.

Mark Gershenson, Family Attorney on Mar 26, 2010
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

Thurman Arnold is bright and well-versed in family law. In the words of pundit Ben Stein, he is a worthy adversary. He has softened (in a good way) in recent years and now realizes that divorce clients are best served by collaboration and cooperation between the lawyers, and that the aggressive, "see you in court" approach should be a last resort rather than standard operating procedure (viewpoints which I share).

Robert Stempler, Lemon law Attorney on Mar 11, 2010
Relationship: Worked together on matter

I highly endorse Thurman Arnold, having known him since the early 1990's and we worked together on a case several years ago. He cares for his clients and is very knowledgeable, particularly in the area of Family Law, in which he is a certified specialist. He has also handled many trials, over the course of his three decades as an attorney.
