Found myself in an unexpected, difficult life moment regarding my marriage. The topic of divorce was mentioned, and I was caught completely off guard. I was feeling very scared and insecure about not knowing what to do or who to talk to. I wanted to know where I stood legally, and what my potential o...

I can’t thank Doug and his team enough for the work they did for me and my case. He is the most responsive attorney I’ve ever worked with and made himself available, and never once made me feel like my questions were unimportant or a waste of his time. He provided clear options for me to pursue all a...
"I have worked with Doug for over ten years. He is an excellent attorney both in and out of the courtroom. His experience, skills and knowledge enable him to handle even the most complex cases. Doug can strategically and efficiently assist you in your matter. He is ethical and has a superb support staff to ensure his clients receive top notch care."
"I've only known Doug a short time, but I can tell you this: his clients absolutely adore him and in our business together, he's been a pleasure to work with and exceptionally professional."
"Great family lawyer!! If you're looking for a divorce attorney in the Orange Co. California area, Doug is the go to attorney!"
"I recently had the opportunity to approach Doug re a question I had involving family law. I went to him because of his reputation and expertise in the matter I was dealing with. More than providing an answer to my question, Doug worked to educate me in the deeper minutia of the subject matter and other areas of law that would touch on that subject. I can better represent my clients as a result of working with Doug."
"I endorse this lawyer. I first met Doug at a national seminar. I was immediately impressed with the knowledge he possessed in his given field. I would definitely endorse him."
"In this highly contentious field, it is always a great relief to work with opposing counsel who have Doug's level of professionalism. Doug's ability to stay above the fray lends him more credibility, and is much appreciated."
"I have known Doug for many years and have always looked forward to working with him. He works very diligently for his clients, while at the same time working to move the parties to an amicable settlement. He is professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend him to couples to need to take their matter to court."
"I have worked with and against Mr. Pinkham on more than one matter. I have found him to be both passionate, hard working and prone to giving matters mature consideration before taking action. He is reasonable, knowledgeable and continually working to improve his personal and professional skill sets."
"Doug is an excellent attorney, who is knowledgable, ethical and committed to fighting for his client's best interests. I give Doug my highest endorsement and believe him to be in the top tier of family law attorneys in the State of California."
"I have worked with Doug on a matter for over four years, and during that time, I have been impressed by his knowledge, strategic skills and organization. During several negotiations, Doug has shown patience and the attention to detail that is necessary to prevail in prolonged litigation. I can think of no higher recommendation than to say that I would work with Doug again without hesitation."
"During the course of my legal dealings, I have come to know Mr. Pinkham, and I am familiar with his high quality of legal work as well as his professionalism. In fact, I have had the distinct pleasure to work with Mr. Pinkham on several occasions, and have determined his ethics, command of the law, and case management to be superlative. I can recommend and endorse Mr. Pinkham without reservation. Furthermore, I respect his approach towards resolving matters at their earliest stages, which has proven to be financially rewarding for all parties involved."
"I endorse this lawyer. While I have only had the opportunity to work with Doug on one case, it was a pleasure to do so. His approach stressed cooperation between counsel in an effort to hold down legal fees and expenses to both parties, something I'm sure the litigants appreciated. He was honest and ethical, as well as hard-working. Since that occasion, Doug, who has chosen to focus his practice strictly on family law, has tapped me for bankruptcy counsel on behalf of a client, as I am a certified specialist in consumer bankruptcy, showing that he seeks out the advice of his peers before venturing into an unknown area the law. Less diligent attorneys might have failed to act cautiously before plunging ahead. Such due diligence speaks volumes about Doug's thorough yet careful approach to his clients' legal needs."
"I have known Doug Pinkham for years as a smart, ethical, and reasonable attorney with good courtroom skills. Doug handles his clients, and opposing counsel, well and his reputation in the community reflects his civility and professionalism."
"Doug is very knowledgeable in the Family law area. He is a fierce advocator but very professional. He also responds quickly and very detailed with the questions you may have for him. He will guide you through the process in a very efficient and effective manner."
