Pinkham & Asscoiates 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.
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! We spent about ten minutes going over my procedural questions and Doug even spent some extra time helping me brainstorm to ensure I wasn’t overlooking anything. Doug was super attentive and amazingly helpful! Even though he knew that I was not looking to become a client, Doug took his time and was happy to help me as a courtesy. If Doug treats his non-clients as well as he treated me, I can only imagine how he must treat his clients. He’s top notch and I whole heartedly recommend him both in my professional capacity as an attorney AND in my capacity as a family law litigant!
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. While some attorneys can seem to have an air of superiority about them, Doug is totally down to earth and respectful both inside and out of the courtroom. There was not a moment during this process that I was totally stressed out because he kept it real. I won my prior matter in one appearance and also this Motion in one appearance.
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!
