    Fearless Advocacy In Every Case

    We are aggressive litigators. We have been litigating for as long as we have been in practice, and we are very comfortable and confident fighting hard for our clients both in and out of family law courtrooms.

    However, while there are occasions when litigation is absolutely necessary, we are at all times cognizant of the fact that prolonged litigation is both time-consuming and expensive. Anytime we can negotiate a settlement that benefits our clients, and we are able to avoid court or arguing before a judge, we do not hesitate to take the opportunity to save our clients’ time, money, and anguish.

    That being said, we only engage in settlement talks when the ends justify the means. We will never recommend a settlement that is not as good or better than we would expect to receive in court. At Pinkham & Associates, APLC, our priority is to meet your needs in the most efficient and cost-effective way possible. We understand how stressful and draining it can be to bring family matters to court, so we work hard to ensure your time and money are not wasted. Our highly skilled attorneys will always choose the most straight-forward path toward success.

    Contact us to schedule a consultation and we will personally help you analyze your case and create a legal strategy that works for your needs.

Don’t Take Our
Word For It –

  • I consulted with Mr. Doug Pinkham on a divorce mediation matters. I found him to be knowledgeable, experienced, and fully involved. I am a professional with fair amount of assets and a long marriage. There were some issues I really needed clarification and guidance of a good lawyer, and Doug was a great help. I found it very refreshing and grateful that his answers were clear and straight-forward and weighted with his experience. Thank you Doug!

  • My first experience using Pinkham went great and so having a new issue for my case, I re-hired Pinkham & Associates. I had to file a motion, and when I reached out to Doug he was still familiar with my case so I didn’t have to repeat my entire story. He knows what the judges need to make informed decisions and took the time to guide me with the declarations and responses I had to write He’s very knowledgeable and a straight shooter.

  • I am an attorney (non-family law) wrapping up a 10 year long custody battle in Northern California. I have recently gone pro per (e.g. I am representing myself) and I had a couple of procedural questions about filing form FL-300. I came across the firm’s video on YouTube about how to file that form and, at the end of the video, it said to call the firm (Doug specifically!) if I had any questions. I had a couple of questions so I called the firm and, to my surprise, Doug answered the phone right away!

    Donald S.

  • Pinkham & Associates were top notch with handling my case. From our initial meeting through the multiple days in court Douglas Pinkham was on point and very knowledgeable of similar cases that set precedence. At a very stressful time he remained very confident and reassuring, “he had my back”. I hope I never need his services again but if I do Doug will be the guy I call.

    Brian H.

  • I was referred to Pinkham & Associates by a family friend, and I am very happy with the support and services they had provided me during my Child Custody case. The entire staff is so supportive and thorough with making sure things ran smoothly with my case. Liby is a gem! Cathy Iles was my Attorney and she is AMAZING, if needed I will definitely be utilizing this firm again. They are a great team!

    Vanessa E.
