I would highly recommend Roy and his team. They assisted me with a family law issue and the outcome exceeded my expectations. There are a lot of attorneys out there that take advantage of people who are vulnerable - not Roy. I thought he was fair in billing and did a great job resolving the case competently and expeditiously, Highly recomend!

I have being with Roy and his firm for a year and half now. Roy is very understanding and helpful attorney. Divorce is very difficult and hurtful to me! Roy understood my situation, difficulties and gave me all the supports. During the process, it was very easy to communicate with him and his team. His responses to my phone calls, emailis were fast. He even replied my email late at night or earlier in the morning. I am very happy with him.

As a colleague of Roy, I can attest to his professional demeanor and respect for his clients. I have had the opportunity to translate for Roy and see him interact with clients. My overall impression of him is that he is highly professional, intelligent, trained and respectful of his clientele.

As a non-native speaker in the field of science for more than 10 years, I do strongly recommend my family attorney Mr. Roy M. Doppelt and his helpful staff, to anyone who is looking for a helpful and outstanding family attorney for divorce. Roy is always calm, always confident, always fair/objective, always logical, always reasonable, always responsible, always sharp, and always giving the best suggestions and teaching good mentality with easy-access language to mentor his clients to stand solidly in the court. Those traits also make him as a highly respected attorney by the Judges and peers. If you are looking for a powerful attorney who cares about his client's finance at the same time, Roy is the attorney of choice for the settlement, unlike other attorneys that encourage unnecessary fighting to make more money.

Roy and I worked together for three years to handle my complex divorce case, which could be one of extremely complex divorce cases in his attorney life. The end of my case was a settlement desired with what Roy won for me from my ex, as resource to restore my professional ability and career in the future. During this three-year period, Roy and I successfully made all my ex's motions, depositions, and hearings failed by providing sufficient evidence while I was exhausted due to my sophisticate health problems. His calmness and confidence not only soothed my stress and irritation in the courtroom and from legal actions by the opposing side, but also brought me back on track to focus and logical discussion. When I was too sick to respond Roy and my ex's attorney in time, he could handle alone very smoothly. Additionally, he always sends me copies of everything, always responds in every conversation, and always explains clearly, concisely, and precisely. Hence, I could quickly catch the key points of the situations, strategies, risk, and legal knowledge. Finally, I am not a native speaker. But, for me, his communication was not only friendly and professional, but also easily accessible. It facilitated everything and my learning from the beginning to the end. Learning and working together with him definitely improved my mental toughness and decision making for the better outcomes.

Besides of Roy, his helpful staff save us much time on document preparation and retrieving. Also, his staff gave me good (not legal) suggestions to protect me at the level of personal relationship, which helped my case indirectly. It is my pleasure to have such a well-organized supporting team as well as friends to take care of my case and my life.

There is no 100% guarantee to get dream outcomes but reasonable expectations depending on the current condition. I felt very satisfied with the settlement including my child custody, my global support, and my assets. Learned from Roy, the accumulated legal knowledge, strategic mind, and calmness, as building blocks, achieved our goals again and again. Taken together, being calm, confident, logical, professional, reasonable, sharp, objective to evaluate each situation and mentor clients, responsible and supportive to both attorney and client sides and the team in the firm, those factors concerted perfectly to lead to a desired ending. That is why Roy did a good job every time. Thank Roy and everyone in his firm so much, for all your effort to protect my rights, and win the resource for my returning to science.

Roy Doppelt is amazing!!! He got me everything I wanted when fighting for custody of my daughter. It was a very smooth and great experience. I recommend him to anyone looking for a great lawyer for Family Law.

My hope, as I’m sure many have, was for a simple divorce. I retained Mr. Doppelt’s services to guide me through the legal process. From the start he provided clarity on goals and developed a strategy to achieve them. His staff was always available and quickly responded to my concerns and questions. Basically everyone did their job and did it well. However, a year later I found myself in a bad situation with an agreement that wasn’t being honored. Once again Mr. Doppelt clarified goals and developed a strategy to achieve them. When it was time to appear Mr. Doppelt was clear, concise and confident in the courtroom. His demeanor and knowledge of the law while in the courtroom helped quickly move our case forward and I’m grateful he was on my side.
I highly recommend Roy for routine business as he becomes a major asset when “routine business” becomes a complicated matter.

Late in life divorce is a life altering experience. As a professional in child care industry, I never expected to be involved in this type of situation. From the minute I walked into the law firm's office, the environment, the staff and of course Mr. Doppelt were so soothing. It basically felt that here was a place where they would everything within the power and resources to make this traumatic experience survivable. I could image what I would be doing or how I could this by myself. I am early in the process but they have guided and support my goals. I strongly and wholeheartedly recommend this firm. As I continue my professional career there is no doubt I will always recommend Doppelt and Forney. They are simple awesome. As the say in the military they are a Bravo-Zulu organization. Yes veterans they are there to help also.

My case was extremely complex. I live in Michigan and my case was here in San Diego. It involved alleged arrearages that began in 1995 (according to my ex). In truth there were indeed arrearages but not as old nor the amount that my ex claimed. The interest penalties could have killed me and devastated my world either way as the last time I had even spoken to my ex was 14 years ago. This is a nuance that should not be overlooked.

Roy and Angelina were able to create a case and show enough evidence that I believe made my ex feel enough pressure to settle for an amount that was less than 50% of what she was originally trying to extort from me. I don't think she wanted to be put on the stand because she would have had to perjure herself or come clean on a lot of things she said in her claims.

Roy is also a known quantity around the court house with different lawyers which I really believed helped in the negotiation process. I think my ex wive's lawyer (who seemed to be feared by many of the lawyers I interviewed) respected Roy and I think this relationship was very helpful.

I would HIGHLY recommend Roy and Angelina. Consumate professionals who responded to anything I had to say or ask in a very timely manner. I hope I never have to work with him again... But if something should happen he would be the first call I made.

One last thing... He was very fair with his billing. He did not nickel and dime me to death with petty charges. He was worth every dime I paid him.

He exceeded my expectations and I really appreciate everything he did.

Divorce is a very stressful and do not wish it upon anybody. Mr. Doppelt made the process much easier for me. He answered all my questions and got back to me in a timely manner. Mr. Doppelt and his staff are very professional and confidential. I strongly recommend his services to people going through this unfortunate process.

Roy,

I cannot thank you enough for your great help.

For about a year, I have been put through so much stress and exhaustion, until I hired Mr. Doppelt as my defending Lawyer. As soon as I had my consultation with him and his team, I felt so relieved, knowing that someone really wanted to help my custody battle come to an end. He helped me better understand how to protect my rights and goals, taking steps to gain back my son-and to stop a renewal of a RO from happening. He really followed through with what he told me from the beginning, when I thought that it would never end. He taught me a lot about how the justice system views cases like mine, and how to adjust my emotions to better understand how beneficial it would be for myself and my son in the long run. I can’t thank him enough and I highly recommend him as an attorney. I give him 5 stars for his communication skills, professionalism, timely manner, and for his hard work!

Thank you Roy Doppelt

I am not local, but a few years ago Roy helped me work thru a support issue, and then again this year when I had an emergency issue arise resulting from my original divorce (for which he was not my attorney), he stepped in right away, took care of that and got me the results I hoped for! Thank you!!!

I worked with Roy when I was going through family issues. Of course, it’s the worst moment in family life and you want someone on your side who you can trust. I wanted to make sure I hire a person who is expert, willing to listens, advises when necessary, and get the job done the way that I want it. After my initial search, I narrowed it down and interviewed more than 5 lawyers and decided to go with Roy. Being honest at the beginning I had my doubts, but as I started working with him and his team I became more and more happy with my decision. He was fair and on the point. Even when we had disagreement on some of the billing charges, he agreed to dismiss them to make sure I’m happy. And he got the job DONE! Still after few years when I contact him for FREE advice, he is responsive and open to help as much as he can. Thank you!

Roy did a great job at helping me with my divorce. Each time I had a concern and sent him an email, he would reply as soon as he could which always put me at ease. I would even be surprised to see a response even over the weekend (expecting for him to respond the following work day). With divorce being a sensitive situation and an unfortunate event, I’m glad I depended on Roy to help me with my case. I would highly recommend him.

Going through the divorce and custody process in the Family Court System is not easy. For me, it has been like fighting an uphill battle because of additional obstacles manifested in the form of a long drawn out divorce and custody. My previous attorney did not have my best interest in mind. He did not work to resolve any issues for me for 2 years, but incurred high legal fees for me monthly and exacerbated an already difficult process.

Rescue came in the form of Roy Doppelt, my present attorney. He was recommended highly by my forensic accountant. Roy agreed to take on my muddled, long drawn out, messy case. My life has changed from the time Roy took over my case. He truly cares about my welfare and my child’s welfare. He has made more progress and has resolved issues in my case in the last 10 months than my former attorney did in 2 years. He responds to emails promptly and keeps me apprised of developments as soon as they occur. He is very methodical, precise, and clear in providing an itemized billing statement. He also is a voice of reason, who has encouraged me to make sensible choices and move in directions that may help preserve my sanity as well as help me save money. He has also always protected my interest in the case. He is respectful of not only me and my family members, but he is also respectful in his interactions with the opposing counsel and my ex-husband, which reduces tension and conflict. Roy has experience, expertise and most importantly ethics and integrity. I am grateful that Roy is representing me, and given the complexity of my case, I know that no other attorney could represent me like he does.

I recommend Roy very highly and assure you that you will get the best representation for the time and money you spend on your case.

In almost all jobs whether civilian or military a performance review is anticipated or expected. With that being said; I am submitting my review of Damon Forney and giving him my highest recommendation as a Family Law Attorney. Mr. Forney’s performance was exemplary on multiple levels whether in Family Court or Superior Court representing my petitions or requests in support determination hearings. As a retired senior military Officer, I can say Mr. Forney took the time to research the intricacies of military retired benefits and the federal law pertaining to divisions accordingly. Whether a military member, Veteran or civilian reading this recommendation, you can count on Mr. Forney to be diligent, persistent and devoted to finding a favorable outcome in your case. I caution to say win, there are NO winners in marriages that end up in Family Court. Finding the closet to fair and just outcome is what everyone seeks but it will not come easy. The playing field of Family Court is a dangerous and vile environment where you certainly will hear untrue and slanderous things said about you, which can spiral out of control unless someone is there to control the situation. You need someone competent like Mr. Forney who will stick to the facts, procedures and laws put in place to avoid re-creating the wheel, which at times, you will feel is trying to be recreated at every hearing. Sadly as this sounds, when getting married you took on the odds of less than fifty (50) percent chance of success. For whatever reason you wound up in this situation and amicable endings are lower in percentages than a successful marriage. Your life is going in a new direction now, make certain to find someone to help you get settled in a way to help you move on, move forward with reasonable expectations and have hope. That person to help you is Mr. Forney. Finally, Mr. Forney is very reasonable on fees.

Roy Doppelt provides exceptional value and service beyond any attorney I've personally experienced. He truly cares about his clients by making himself available, offering sound direction and looking out for your bottom line; unlike the all too many attorneys only concerned about "nickel and diming" every possible expense they can!

I retained the Law Firm Doppelt and Forney in a case involving my retirement payments due to my ex-spouse. The lead attorney was Damon Forney laid the foundation for a successful case. Steven Aicher was a star in the courtroom, ensuring that opposing counsel was kept in check when trying to depict me as a devious ex-husband. Steven Aicher conducted causative research and far exceeded my expectations attained a victory in my case. Also there is a GREAT paralegal Dianne Johnson who was the backbone and binding that held the operational aspects of this case together. Dianne is a solid and consummate professional! She is great and the team at Doppelt and Forney are a must use Law Firm if you are in need of legal services. I am more than happy with the outcome of my case and Doppelt and Forney helped relieve the stress associated with my case. Thank you!

I hired ROY and his wonderful firm back in 2015.
In life we have decisions and choices, and clearly after interviewing 3 different lawyers and not really feeling like my best interest was there priority i rolled the dice and it was the best decision I could of ever made. Roy didn’t make any promises other then he was going to protect my rights as a single father, and put my life back together. He finalized my divorce in 11mo and that wasn’t a easy considering the nature of my case, more importantly he protected my parenting custody of my 2 amazing children.
Today I’m proud to look up to ROY for guidance and advice. Client for life.
Thanks ROY for everything.

Thanks a million to Mr. Doppelt and his team. He is very professional since the first day we met until 2 days ago my case is finally over. He communicate with me and explain to me all the law term very well to help me understand the processes. He and his team helped me achieved all my goals. First, he help me bifurcate my marriage within in the short period of time, and second he helped me keep all my assets. His firm is not the cheapest firm that I found, but with all the time, work and effort they put in my case, it is definitely worth every dime.
Mr. Doppelt's firm is not the first divorce firm I work with. I choose Mr, Doppelt's firm after I was very disappointed at the other firm that I work with. Mr. Doppelt and his team are so efficient and know family law inside out. They helped me went through the most difficult time in my life. Since I just went through divorce and know how hard it could be, I strongly recommend Mr. Doppelt firm to anyone who is going through divorce.

Roy and his team did an amazing job of calming me and helping me to understand and see things from the legal perspective during a very emotional circumstance. The staff is very knowledgeable, professional, ethical, and focused on what works in the court system. Knowing I had Roy and his team working on my behalf brought me a sense of peace that I did not feel prior. Thank you Roy and Steven!

Amazing lawyer and equally good human being. Very level headed. My divorce was very bitter in the beginning, due to a very conflicting lawyer my ex had hired initially. There were some tough times, but every time I spoke to Roy I was reassured, I was in safe hands. There is nothing the divorce process can throw at you that Roy has not already seen. He handled my case very well. He is a very experienced lawyer and worth every penny. I will recommend him to anyone going though a divorce. He will not try to make money out of your misery, like a lot of other lawyers. He will always strive for settlement. He is polite to the opposing counsel and will respect your ex, no matter how bitter your divorce. Like I said before, he is very experienced and his communication style is very friendly yet firm. You need Roy on your side if you are going through a divorce. Divorce is painful and you really need a lawyer who is a good human being, will think objectively and not take advantage of your misery.

Roy and his team were great. Instead of steering me into litigation and extraordinary expense, they helped me to settle with the opposing party (x-wife and her attorney), despite the opposing party being extremely unreasonable, and difficult. I don't think I could have ended up with any better result than what we got. I strongly recommend Roy and his team.

I recently went through a tough battle with my ex-husband's foster parents. They took me to court under false pretenses and somehow we made it all the way to an evidentiary hearing in San Diego. I found Roy on Google because he had a ton of great reviews and called him immediately. He listened to my situation and didn't charge me for the consultation although it was a lengthy conversation. He was so easy to work with and very flexible. I live in Washington State so most of our contact was via email. I always had quick responses, everything he did I was kept aware of, they sent me a copy of everything that was submitted for court, I got my statements every month for what I was being charged for (attorneys are expensive but it was worth every penny in the end), and he was always friendly and reassuring. This was over a period of about 7 months. Fast forward to the hearing, Roy is the attorney you want on your side. He argued my points aggressively but he is so charismatic it didn't come off that way, he still came off very friendly in court. Needless to say, he did a fantastic job ensuring my rights were protected and we WON my case. Now I can move on with my life and thanks to Roy, I can continue to parent my child how I see fit without any outside interference like I've been doing all these years.

I would recommend Roy Doppelt to any of my loved friends. Roy has a very calm, organized and focused work style, and so do the staff I met in the firm.

I finally got the result I think I deserve.

I wholeheartedly recommend Roy for your family law needs. I selected him after speaking with 2 other attorneys in the area. He represented me in my divorce proceeding while I was living abroad. He was thorough and very responsive. Although my case was a bit drawn out & stressful at times, Roy was efficient and considerate. He kept me informed after all court hearings, and he relayed an optimistic, yet realistic time frame for the dissolution. I'm happy that I chose Roy to represent me in my case. I highly recommended him! He and his staff are quick to respond, even since my case has concluded!!

Roy Doppelt and his team are professional, organized, efficient, and above all, honest.

There are few episodes in life as drawn-out, stressful, and humbling as a divorce. That being said, I would not recommend anyone else other than Roy to handle your divorce paperwork, communications, filing, and litigating in court.

Roy has an extremely supportive and calm demeanor. In court, while other over-the-top aggressive attorneys brazenly argue and pontificate on behalf of their client, Roy calmly states the facts using a very focused methodology that is both extremely effective and convincing to San Diego judges. I can tell you from my own personal experience that witnessing the above traits in action is very convincing and inspiring.

Roy is always respectful and his decades of experience and research will ultimately secure you the best possible outcome. Although Roy is versed in many aspects of family law, my retaining of him to resolve my divorce is one the most sound decisions I have made in my personal life.

Roy Doppelt is an excellent attorney! I interviewed a few attorneys, researched their backgrounds and ultimately selected Mr. Doppelt who has proved to be outstanding. While my ex-husband & opposing attorney became difficult, Mr. Doppelt always remained calm and reminded them of the law. While it is the goal and best interest on both parties to settle a divorce out of court, one should never be taken advantage of - and Mr. Doppelt made sure I was aware of the law and looked out for my best interest. I would highly recommend Mr. Doppelt and his firm. His rates are reasonable and he doesn't nickel & dime every potential fee. Mr. Doppelt and his staff are very responsive - same day response. If you find a need for a family lawyer, I encourage you to further google Mr. Doppelt. You will find interviews on YouTube, countless reviews, he even wrote a book. Mr. Doppelt is a man with integrity, knowledgeable of the law, and shows personal care for his clients. You will not be disappointed when choosing Mr. Doppelt to represent you!

Despite having a complicated divorce where my ex-spouse was incarcerated causing many complications, Roy was excellent and saw me though to the best outcome.

I had never needed an attorney before my divorce and I’m really glad I chose Roy Doppelt. He represented me really well and was affordable in doing so. Every time I met with Roy and especially with the opposing council and my ex-wife I felt that everything went better than I expected. He knows the law and practices it as a master would. Roy explained each decision clearly and backed it up with reading material for me to read further when I needed to.
When we met with opposing council and my ex-wife he always put me at ease and responded to her aggressive style with calm facts. His staff and himself always responded quickly and everyone is very friendly. I am so happy to know and have Roy Doppelt represent me. I would recommend him to anybody.

Roy was hired to represent my case in order to defend me from a potentially nasty divorce. With his superior knowledge and quick actions we were able to get in front of it and get a favorable outcome. The (2) prior attorneys I had interviewed were less confident and warned me of a disastrous outcome. Roy however, had the confidence and quick thinking to turn my case into the result I was looking for. I highly recommend him.

I was Mr. Roy M. Doppelt's client. He has poor skills to represent clients in the court. Poor planning & poor legal ethics and shady billing practices.

If you face family problems stay safe and not in a thousand miles of Mr. Doppelt's office.
He has many many fake reviews to cover for negative reviews. DONOT give him an unconditional retainer . He will completely devour it in less than a month.

***When going through a divorce you want to be in good hands and make sure the attorney truly cares about you and your family.***

I worked in a Family Law Firm for over 10 years. Roy Doppelt was the one attorney that stood out to me. I was very impressed with how Roy fought for his clients. He is a sharp strategist that truly cares for his clients.

When it came time for me to hire a divorce attorney of my own, hiring Roy was the best thing I ever did. I would absolutely recommend him.

I was dealing with a very stressful time with my divorce case. My previous attorney did not know the international law and thus made my case harder to battle in both countries. Mr. Doppelt studied my case thoroughly and took me in. He is my rock for the past 2 years. He researched tirelessly about my case which involved both US and foreign country and worked with my foreign attorney to fight the case in US. His communication was direct, transparent, and to the point. His experience does say a lot about him and his staff members (Eric and Shannon). All of them worked very hard, even late nights and weekends. I am extremely thankful that Mr Doppelt has my back in these tough times. I totally trust his judgement and has never failed me in my case. He is kind, understanding, calm, great listener and passionate. In court, he was alert, confident about his case, to the point in arguing with the other party, and very convincing. He is very fair with his charges and always surpasses my expectations from him. I strongly recommended Mr. Doppelt for both domestic and international family law cases. Thank you Mr. Doppelt for your help with my case.

My divorce case lasted 3 years due to its complication. I had met with several divorce lawyers in town during my divorce process. I am truly glad I had chosen Mr. Roy Deppolt to represent my case. No other family lawyers are like him: sincerely cares for his clients, working very hard on your case, very knowlodgable, and very sharp on his professions. He is a lawyer with integraty and honesty. His service is beyond my expectation, is outstanding. He is trustable. He always do his best to help you win the case. I highly recommend him if you are searching for a divorce lawyer.

I could not be happier with everything about this law office. From the secretaries and legal aids to the lawyers and even the office environment, I felt like I had chosen the right place to get help with my custody/support problems from the moment I walked in. Everyone was very kind, professional, attentive and intelligent. Much like anything else, things of high quality tend to cost more, so the fees and retainers were higher, but I have no regrets or remorse for what I paid for considering how fair, open and honest they were. The lawyers and staff have shown that every penny was worth it. I was helped by Damon Forney and Jessica Boshears (forgive if I spelled that wrong!) and very highly recommend them to anyone needing help with family law issues of any kind. I will definitely be back for any future legal matters. Thank you all!

Two words "Call Roy!" I am going through a horrendous divorce - I could (and may) write a book. Roy and his firm have been very honest, attentive, respectful and pleasant to work with. If you need an attorney to help help you through, what may be the most challenging part of your life, call Roy Doppelt and Associates...now.

My experience was with Damon Forney. He is a top notch attorney but more importantly, he is an even better person. When dealing with situations such as family law it is important to have someone sensitive to your needs; practical in decision making and knowledgeable of the law. It takes a real person with compassion and intellect to hit the mark on all points. Damon, is that person. There is a "reality check" from beginning to end. Damon will keep it real. As a man, it is important to know what you're getting. It is even more important to know that you're getting positive results.

I strongly endorse Damon Forney as a famiily law attorney!!!

Divorce is a very stressful process in it of itself, and finding a lawyer on the other hand who will represent your interests and concerns is just as equally stressful. As a soon-to-be single father of a 5 year old son, I was looking for a family lawyer who would be able to help me navigate the legal system and ensure that my son’s welfare was the number one priority. I interviewed a three lawyers and I chose Roy M Doppelt to handle my case. I found him and his staff to be professional, very knowledgeable of the legal system, and most importantly personable.

I’ve been working with Roy for the past 17 months, and from the day of our first meeting, he has stuck to our goals and objectives; which were to avoid litigation through settling out of court to save me money, and expedite the process while ensuring that my interests and concerns are addressed.
He laid out the ground rules for me on how legal system works, and help me understand pitfalls that could jeopardize my case. I appreciated the candor and honesty, and I knew I had someone who had my vested interest in my case. As a person, you would be hard-pressed to find an Attorney who is honest, confident and always taking the glass half full approach.

Through his legal guidance and steadfast approach my case, we were able to have my case closed without litigation per our goal. If you’re looking for legal representation from a lawyer who will look out for your interests, I strongly recommend Roy Doppelt and Associates.

I’ve been impressed with Roy Doppelt and his staff from the beginning. The first time I met with Roy, I had a no-pressure, no-cost meeting to discuss the situation; Roy was frank, approachable, honest, and offered me excellent advice for the situation at the time. Later, when I needed to bring a divorce lawyer into the picture, I didn't hesitate to go back to Roy, and I’m glad I did. We’re now in the thick of things, and Roy has consistently kept me apprised of the situation, thought out of the box, kept my costs down, and listened to and responded to my concerns. I like that the office is small and welcoming, and that everybody there from the receptionist up is hospitable. I’d highly recommend Roy to any woman looking for a conscientious, professional divorce lawyer who believes strongly that his job is to advocate for you.

Mr. Roy Doppelt represented me in my divorce which ended up lasting two years. During this extremely stressful time, Roy always acted professionally and compassionately. There were many times when I became overly frustrated with the system, yet he was always patient, kind and supportive.

He was very easy to talk to, encouraged me to set realistic goals, and was always accessible. He returned my emails and phone calls very quickly. His priority was always to achieve my objectives, which he was successful in doing. He worked very hard to minimize my costs, which I greatly appreciated.

I was extremely impressed by Mr. Doppelt’s integrity, as he was always professional and calm in his dealings with opposing counsel who, I felt, did not always act in a professional manner. It is a great testament to his character and work ethic.

Roy and his team made a very difficult two years bearable. I have recommended him to many people since then and I will continue to do so. In my humble opinion, Roy Doppelt is the best family law attorney in San Diego County.

Roy is an excellent attorney who is a man of integrity who operates with grace and professionalism in the court room and never becomes frustrated or critical of the case or sometimes dysfunctional system that family court exists in. He was my 3rd attorney after a 3 year legal battle and he actually had me and my families best interest at heart. We developed a strategy and goal and he did everything he could to expedite the process without getting into side shows. Roy sticks to the law to move the case forward and it is obvious he is respected by the court. Family law circumstances can be very emotional and stressful and Roy's experience brings a calm to the process. He is a good man that is honest and always concerned about the cost of the process and limiting expenses when ever possible.

I just finished working with Roy Doppelt on a most unusual and complex Family Law case. My brother passed away almost two years ago and I am the only living member of his immediate family. He did not leave a will. In the middle of probate his X wife surfaced from Germany and started a case in which she was claiming rights to his estate. As to why she was able to fight this, is a long story. The important thing is that Mr. Doppelt was such a great help to me and this case. He is aggressive when he needs to be with the other side and yet always maintains his dignity and manners. He will keep in constant contact with you, always keeping you abreast of what is happening. He is honest and realistic. He wants to finish your case in a timely manner and yet not compromise your goal. He will not nickel and dime you like some lawyers do for everything little thing like faxes, parking fees, etc. Mr. Doppelt was able to finish my case with our side winning. I would highly recommend him as a Family Law attorney.

Over the years I have needed legal assistance across a variety of issues and in every instance since I have known Atty Doppelt, hehas provided me with the help I needed to my satisfaction.
In the past, my experience with the legal proffession led me to the feeling that the only thing that attorneys are interested in is their ability to bill hours to me. Atty Doppelt chnaged all that with his straight forward manner, his clear explanations of the legal situations that I found myself in and the concern he exhibited.
I enthusiastically endorse him as an lawyer and as a person. He does what he says and to me that is big for a person in a difficult situations, such as the ones I found myself in.

Having to find and choose a family law attorney when you are going through stressful times like considering divorce is never an easy task. I personally interviewed four attorneys and my choice was Roy M. Doppelt and Associates. Roy and his associates have created a relaxed atmosphere that is refreshing in the field of law. Roy’s direct no nonsense approach and his willingness to provide information in many forms is also a refreshing attribute. The fee structure is straight forward and reasonable. I never felt pressured to do one thing or another. I felt in total control of my situation which often times does not happen with attorneys. The communication was also excellent in all forms. If you’re having family problems or law issues and are considering legal action, please take the time to make an appointment with Roy M. Doppelt and Associates for a consultation.

Roy Doppelt assisted me in a legal matter with ease, professionalism and grace. Mr.Doppelt makes an unassuming appearance but comes to the table prepared, timely and knowing his craft. He makes his client aware and does not over reach regarding realistic (or unrealistic) goals and results. He was most fair in his billing and is a man of his word. I highly recommend Roy Doppelt to anyone in need of his professional services in a court of Family Law.

Mr Doppelt was extraordinary in the handling of my case.
He was always available for me even after business hours and over weekends.
He would respond immediately to my requests and was diligent in completing necessary paperwork in a timely manner.
He was kind and understanding to me personally, and did not seek his own agenda, but sought to serve my needs and requests within accordance of the law.
He was thorough in his explanation of the legal processes involved in my case, and made sure I understood everything.
The other attorneys involved in my case were uncommunicative and unresponsive, and generally made things as difficult as possible.
Mr Doppelt is a shining star for the legal world, and you are in good hands with him handling your case.

I had a very difficult divorce and was directed by other attorney's in San Diego to Mr. Doppelt for help. He did a great job in representing my interests and concerns but always with a rational reason for taking one route versus another. The situation worked out and is now behind me. I would strongly recommend Roy Doppelt and Associates for any legal services you require.
