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.

I am not a review type of person, but the team at Doppelt and Forney deserve every credit. I was divorced in 2019 and had numerous problems stemming from it. My lawyer at the time could not handle the chaos that was following me. I found Damon Forney online and scheduled an appointment. Immediately I was impressed by his professionalism, caring towards my situation, and expertise on the different options that were available to me. My mother and I instantly felt a relief knowing Damon was there to help us. It was no easy task for this firm. My mother and I needed restraining orders. I needed emergency custody orders, and expert advice concerning the safety of my children and how to end this nasty divorce. While Damon was battling at the front lines, we had sweet lead paralegal Dianne in background to help guide us through the process. Dianne was always there making sure we and my ex’s lawyer were filing everything correctly and on time. Dianne was our cheerleader before the court hearings, and the motherly comfort check in after the hearing. You can really tell she takes her clients well-being personally. Damon and Dianne helped me finalize my divorce even when I thought it was impossible, especially after two long years. Another bonus that comes with the law firm is if one lawyer is out, they have other very confident lawyers that can fill in. You never want to go to court, but if you have to, you can trust Damon and Dianne to represent you and take care of you throughout the entire experience. Some things I had to learn the hard way, but now I understand, thanks to Damon and Dianne. Just because you feel you are right; it does not mean the judge will agree. Damon and Dianne are going to suggest the best option for your situation (your judge, your evidence, and what the other side has). They will do what you want, but it will save you time, money, and mental anguish if you follow what they recommend. Even if you have the best case, evidence, and everything on your side, you never know what the judge will say. Leave your emotions at the door and get done what needs to get done.

I had been searching for a great divorce attorney for A few months and interviewing many attorneys. I read many reviews and had a meeting with Damon Forney. He is highly educated attorney, he answered all my questions thoroughly he gave me a great understanding of the whole divorce procedure and what is required. I decided he was the one to represent me. My wife had a very good attorney so I wanted to make sure I hired someone Who could represent me and dominate. Damon did an awesome job with communicating with me and the other attorney making sure everything was in order and filed in a timely manner. Then there is his paralegal Diane. She is very knowledgeable of the law, easy to work with very efficient and clear on what you need and gives you a list of what she needs from you and makes it very manageable for you. She also makes you write what she calls a Starbucks letter. The Starbucks Letter is a letter from me telling her the beginning of my marriage until how we got to the point where at now so she can understand me better and where we are at.The letter really makes you think about your life and what you’ve been through and think if this is really the right decision for you. In my case during the divorce I had a severe injury and my wife took care of me and helped me get through it. After writing the Starbucks letter I realized all we’ve been through our my life and that we still have a chance to work on our marriage so we decided to try one more time and end the divorce process. My experience with Damon Forney and his paralegal Diane was excellent. They are both very knowledgeable of the law and are in your corner and fight for you as their top priority. They give you great advice and their fees are clear and fair. I love their billing each month you get a statement showing your balance what was charged and what the expense was. I definitely recommend them if you want a highly qualified attorney who will get the job done in a very professional and timely manner and knows the law very well. Thank you both for your kind and caring help in my time of need. Dan R

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.

  • Dzabu Dlamini

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.

  • Jon A.

Over the past few years, I have been going through a difficult part of my life. With these challenges, I initially used a law office, that all I can say is that it did not work out, and communication with that previous firm was... "interesting and intermittent". I was fortunate to be able to switch over to, Doppelt and Forney San Diego Divorce Lawyers. What a breath of fresh air! This office truly works as a team! Even the process with billing, seeing a simple invoice every month, is much different than what I was used to before. I have consistently had my phone calls answered and emails responded to very quickly with a detailed response. Every single step of the way, I have had the process explained to me that I can understand and my options of how to proceed with my case (Divorce) appropriately. From Attorney Forney and his Associates, along with the paralegal team and clerks, I have had a positive rapport and positive communication. I especially have had an amazing rapport with Dianne, a knowledgeable Paralegal that has been my go-to for everything about my case. They do treat me like a person and not just a number in line. They have all been reassuring to me about my case, and been honest, even if it is not what I wanted to hear (Which I still appreciate.). I am very fortunate to have this firm on my side and helping me with this tough time in my life and would highly recommend them to anyone needing family law representation.

  • Michelle Samtoy

I have nothing but the best things to say about Roy and his team, we are so grateful to have found them! Roy offered a light of shining hope in the middle of a very hectic situation. My father who is in his 80s suffered a stroke right before COVID hit, a time that was already traumatic in so many ways was only exacerbated by some spousal support on-goings that should have ended 20 years ago. The most important thing for us was putting this to rest so that my father could fully focus on his healing and recovery. Roy offered so much compassion and kindness and worked with us to make it as stress free as possible for my father. He shows genuine care in his communication style. He is very honest and upfront about what is realistic and is very clear in outlining all possible outcomes for you. From our first conversation with him to our last, his was consistent in his care for us as his clients. That shines just as bright down to his team that helped us, Steven & Sam, who were always quick to respond to any questions and were very clear and open in communication. Roy genuinely cares about his clients and just as important as the outcome is the positive energy that he gives to you along the entire journey. We definitely recommend Roy and his team! Thank you to Roy, Steven, Sam, and the rest of your team for helping us to move on!

  • Shannon White

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.

  • James Hughes

I have been very satisfied with my decision to retain this law firm. Damon and his team have made me feel better about my situation and even assisted when they didn't have to. Damon has been upfront and honest with me from the consultation which I really appreciate. Even when on vacation, he has been able to help me out and I look forward to communicating with him once he returns. Associate Attorney Steven Aicher was awesome filling in for Damon! He made me feel very comfortable during a uncomfortable situation during the hearing. He wanted to know everything he could before hand so he was prepared and he was. Thank you Steven! Last but not least is Senior Paralegal Dianne Jones. I have had the most contact with her since retaining this firm. She has done so much more than I could have asked to this point. You can tell she truly cares about your case and wants the best for you. It really helps to know you have people like her in your corner. She is always so quick to respond or even call! The first weekend I retained this firm, she sent me an email on a Saturday night with information I needed. All I can say is thank you Dianne for everything you have done and for everything you will do going forward. You will be in good hands with Dianne, Damon, and Steven!

  • Madison Mower

Mr. Doppelt, Mr. Aicher, Mr. Barboo, and the rest of the team at this law firm have been incredible during my custody case. I cannot thank them enough, I would recommend them to anyone looking for a family court law team. They have all consistently been fair with charging of time for services, which for anyone who has been through family court, you know it gets expensive fast. They have all shown me compassion and true understanding throughout my case. I have never felt like just another client but like an actual human being. You can tell they truly care for all those that they work with. They are expeditious with all faucets of the case as well as returning emails. Their efficiency, is of course, highly appreciated when working on cases. They are all true professionals and experts when it comes to family court. You can absolutely tell how deeply knowledgeable the whole team is as it relates to the law. Again, I would recommend Mr. Doppelt and his highly competent team of attorneys and paralegals to anyone seeking one of the best legal teams in San Diego.

  • Debra Kelly

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.

  • Todd Rewoldt

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.

  • Sid P

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.

  • Shae Rountree

I had the pleasure to work with Roy Doppelt for my child custody case. His attentiveness, professionalism, transparency and genuine care for me as human being is what made my experience so great. Working with him I was able to achieve my goals, I learned so much, he set realistic expectations and helped me work through the most stressful moments I have had in my life. This case has been going on now for about a year due to opposing counsel. Roy and team were reliable and kept their foot on the gas during our duration together. All while remaining very respectful to all parties and still attaining our goals. I appreciate the time, strategy and professionalism the team had during my case. If you are looking to for a family law attorney who is ethical, honest and really cares about his clients Roy is the guy. I am so appreciative for everything you have done for me. Thank you again Roy and team!

  • James Sullivan

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.

  • Dan Kazarian

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.

  • naxos41

One day, my wife left with my children and my life turned upside down. I hurriedly typed "best divorce lawyer in San Diego" in my browser window, and at the top of the list was Mr. Roy Doppelt. I am not kidding on this. I called him (and several others on the list). Roy acted fast as he saw extreme urgency in my case. The rest is history so to speak. I was fortunate Roy took my case. Roy and his team (Sam and Steven) were always cordial, lightning fast in response, meticulously prepared, and aggressive to the other party and to the court when needed. Most importantly, Roy won my trust not just as a lawyer but as a person. At the end of an excruciating period, during which the prospect of litigation appeared inevitable, Roy was able to win an out-of-court settlement on my behalf. I recommend Mr Roy Doppelt to anybody who is seeking divorce lawyer Nobu

  • Arashk Mahjoubi Amine

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!

  • Cata England

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.

  • Kevin Morgan

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.

  • trenita0331

I'm very grateful to have worked with both Roy and Steve on my custody case. They have both been very patient with me and always able to answer any questions I have. I’m over joyed by the whole experience, even though a very stressful one, they both brought my great comfort. Roy and Steve both have been available via phone or email and have gone the extra mile when needed! I always felt a sense of protection, loyalty and most importantly they were always there for my best interest. Roy has exactly the core values I was looking for! He was professional, transparent and meticulous throughout the case which speak volumes. Both Roy and Steve, are very friendly and personable and I couldn’t thank them enough. If you find yourself in need, I recommend giving them a call…..you won’t regret it!

  • Christine Fair

I had the pleasure of hiring Roy Doppelt as my divorce attorney and I just have to say, If you or anyone you know is looking for an awesome divorce lawyer, who actually truly cares and listens, whose top notch when it comes to explaining your rights and keeping you in the loop & involved with every bit of communication that goes out, regarding your case, then ROY DOPPELT is your lawyer!!! In the end, I felt like Roy was family, for the amount of time that he worked on my case, and for the true amount of genuine dedication to getting all that he felt I deserved after 23 yrs or marriage. Without him, I would have lost out on a great amount of rights that I never had knowledge of and it all ended to what I now consider, a very successful divorce!! Thank you Roy!

  • K Hollenbeck

I was going through what was supposed to be a simple divorce. I started the process with an uncontested divorce SERVICE (they do not represent you). When my wife randomly changed to a contested divorce I retained Roy Doppelt and his team. The standout characteristics are: 1.)Roy, Steven and Sam were all very attentive, always responded to emails or phone calls promptly and were all in all simply nice people. 2.) My questions were always answered, even if they took several emails or a combination of emails and phone calls, the question or concern was always treated as important. 3.) Divorce is expensive, my team made discussing options and my specific situation comfortable. While I hope no one has to go through divorce, if they do I recommend Roy and his team.

  • Nicole Williams

I hired Roy about a year ago when I was in the middle of litigation. Roy was extremely professional, attentive, responsive, and knowledgeable. Roy made going above and beyond what was required of him a regular practice. He protected my goals, did everything with efficiency, and tried to keep costs down. Roy really cares about his clients, he even went out of his way to help me with my previous attorney. His knowledge of the law, and insight during my case was crucial in achieving my goals. Within just a few weeks of hiring Roy, I had a reached a settlement. If I could change anything, I would have found him and retained him from the start of my legal process. It was a pleasure to work with Roy, I am grateful to everything he and his firm did for me.

  • Charlie Newell

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.

  • Joshua Jensma

Absolutely exceeded all my expectations, and achieved all of my goals. I had a very complex case - and this team handled it start to finish with dignity, respect, unquestionable experience, and clear unflinching ability. Also maintained calm in the face of adversity, and were absolutely the right call to make and team to work with. Also incredibly pleasant to work with: patient and understanding with me when I was anything but collected - and always knew the right move to make for my family. Cannot imagine going through that process again without them. Don’t take chances with things as important as this: if you are reading this, this is the team you want - call them.

  • Gary Parker

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.

  • Steven V

I highly recommend the office of Attorney Doppelt and Forney for family law matters. I have had a positive experience so far. In the past, I have had bad experiences with family law attorneys. I appointed attorney Forney as my attorney just over a month ago. This was just before a series of critical court dates. The biggest positives are that the firm has competent staff and they work as a team. They met fast-approaching deadlines in a timely manner. The staff is engaged and will do what it takes to get it done. I was able to communicate with the staff and have my issues addressed in and out of court. They have given me hope that my rights will be defended.

  • Blanca Brown

The team at D & F is Top Shelf! From the beginning with my interviewing possible legal representation, Damon Forney was friendly and professional at the same time. An attentive listener, he provided a good overview of potential strategies in a clear and succinct manner. After my retaining this firm, the team really kicked things in gear with highly effective, efficient and professional support from the senior Paralegal, Ms. Dianne Jones. Her continuing and thorough preparation for filings made everything happen on time and with the content necessary for the Court to review. I could not be happier with all the services, and most notably success in my filing.

  • Stan Sigz

Roy Doppelt and his firm have provided excellent professionalism and expertise with my family law matters. Roy's representation throughout the last 14 years has put my family and I in a great position to have a bright future. His honesty and experience in this field gives me the confidence that I am getting the best results possible for the difficult life situations that present themselves to me. He and his firm have gotten to know me personally and I have 100% trust that he represents me with my family's best interests in mind. I highly recommend Doppelt & Forney, APLC for your family law matters.

  • Savannah Thomas

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!!

I was going through a divorce and trying to navigate it myself and feeling completely overwhelmed. Thankfully I found attorney Damon Forney and his senior paralegal Dianne Jones. Amazing people! From the beginning they laid out a clear plan and broke it down into easy and manageable steps, taking time to answer all my questions. Their years of experience is obvious, but what most impressed me is that they are both genuinely good people that care about their clients. Dianne will keep you on track and you’ll love working with her and she has a great sense of humor. Highly recommend!

Roy, Steven, and Sam will be genuine and straightforward with exceptional ethical standards. The process was heart-wrenching and required challenging work for the firm and me. However, the Doppelt Law firm suppressed my worries and supplied me with the tools to do the job and close my case with a mutual agreement from the opposing party. It was an honor to be represented by Roy and his team. Please provide complete honesty to this law firm and solid communication as they will provide you with legal guidance that is ethical and within the letter of the law.

  • Terry Upton

I write this letter in strong recommendation of Roy Doppelt and company. I've been in interstate custody battle for two years regarding some of family laws most complicated, puzzling, and frustrating components. Roy's knowledge cut through these components like a hot knife through butter. There are many attorneys out there that charge a premium, but understand a minimum. Roy is a seasoned veteran. He is going to tell it like it is and tell you how to proceed... He will be right. Thank you for your expertise Roy! Nothing but respect.

Atty Roy Doppelt is an exceptional top notch lawyer in a divorce law. Atty Roy experienced , achievements, credentials ,bar none among the best. A super lawyer for many years. Atty Roy is a very intelligent, ethical lawyer . His kind personality aside from his accommodating staffs generates calmness, relaxation and comfort throughout the process. An attorney no doubt you can rely on. Highly recommended! Look no further searching a divorce attorney. Doppelt and Forney in my honest opinion is one of the best law firms in San Diego.

Roy's ability to efficiently and effectively sort through what other firms called a highly complex and convoluted child custody and financial settlement was AMAZING. THANK YOU ROY!

  • Gene Simpson

I had been separated for over three years with no end in site. After striking out with three other lawyers, I retain Damon Forney and his staff and saw instant progress. I received my dissolution decree less than three months. This firm is about results and not about taking your money. Even when you think it's you against the world, they take the time to simplify things. Dianne always had time to answer my questions in a timely manner. I will recommend Damon and this firm to everyone going through a drawn out divorce.

***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.

  • Eileen Hsieh

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.

  • Eunice Alarcon

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.

  • Nathan DuBois

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.

  • Jessica Rothstein

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!

  • Feathered Mermaid

Extremely professional and caring team at this Firm. Roy, Steve, and Sam went above and beyond to exceed expectations in a compassionate and understanding manner. Military legal expertise as well as family law made this difficult time much less confusing and alleviated the stress involved in Divorce. Thank you, I would highly recommend this office to anyone searching.

  • Colin-Chao Gui

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. My case at last turned to be very stressful, in hinder-sight, I think that was when his long years of professional experiences came in to make a great difference. I finally got the result I think I deserve.

  • Suzanne Castaneda

I used Damon's legal services back in 2016. I was more than satisfied and went back to him this year for a different matter. Damon and his office staff (in particular, Dianne) were prompt in responding to me and reliable in getting court docs filed & following up. I highly recommend!
