Roy Doppelt was grossly unprepared during court hearings. So much so, I almost felt sorry for my ex-husband who he hired to represent him. My attorney ate him for lunch and it left my ex worse off than when he started. He immediately fired Roy to seek new counsel. Roy’s attempts to go for the jugular, play dirty and act like a big shot, ended up shooting my ex in the foot. Not to mention he has no problem fabricating horrific stories and situations in a scummy way to get a leg up in the case (ie, the Silver Bullet offense). In the end, the judge saw through his tactics and reversed all prior orders against me. He has zero integrity and can’t effectively litigate, so he decides to just throw out untruths to muddy the waters. He’s why divorce attorneys have a bad name. He is inept, unorganized, and dubious. Don’t fall for his “nice guy” demeanor or placating tone of voice. He is a snake.

In order for Roy Doppelt to decide whether he wanted to take my case, he had me provide him a copy of the six-volume court file. I organized everything into binders with hundreds of tabs marking the docs. After reading my file, he decided not to represent me in court but agreed to help me with an upcoming trial. He then decided to removed all the docs from binders, remove my hundreds of tabs and Post-It notes, and put the docs in a box, out of order, turned around, upside down -- when I have an upcoming trial and REALLY need those docs organized. When I expressed my disappointment, he told me I can have another attorney re-tab it. So basically, I paid Roy $8,226 to review my file, say no, and remove my many hours of file organization, AND I will need to pay another attorney to re-organize it. Also, I had an ex parte matter where I needed someone in the office to verify with a judge that I incurred many legal fees regarding an issue. The task would have only taken 20 minutes to review an invoice and testify remotely. An attorney reviewed my pleadings but was supposedly told by Roy to not respond. I lost the $10K case simply because I did not have that witness. Not only that, I requested five times for their $295 attorney fee to be removed, but Roy refused. I paid $295 for zero response, which caused my loss of $10K. So basically, Roy cost me $8,226, $295, $10,000 + another $8K for another attorney to make sense of my disorganized file. That's $26,226.

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 and guidance 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.

One of the best attorneys in san diego. I can believe how much respect he gets from the courts and other attorneys. Helped me get through a difficult divorce with no problems. I highly recommend him

I would highly recommend Roy Doppelt and his law firm. Throughout my case, Roy was very honest, upfront, realistic with his approach and communications pertaining to my case. He never promises something he knows he cannot deliver. He is very polite, professional yet aggressive and very balanced in his demeanor and way of handling his cases. He is knowledgable but also does not use his knowledge to mint money from his clients. Roy not only kept me honest with my commitments but also kept me balanced and confident although the opposing party was overtly contentious and unfair in their dealings on several ocassions. Thank you Roy and team for helping me achieve my goals in a stressfree and fair manner.

Roy Doppelt is my family law attorney, and will remain so as long as I live in the county. He is straighforward and calm, knowledgeable, and honest about where I stand in regards to any situation I've brought him, never gets upset, and is a very nice man to deal with. He always gives me a fair assessment of any situation, and gives me the options with best case and worst case scenarios. He never promises me anything he can't deliver. He won't stoop to dirty tactics to win, even though the opportunites presented themselves in my case, and still gave me the time with my child I never could have gotten on my own. He taught me how to speak to the mediators, how the surreal world of family law courts actually work, and what to do to prepare myself in the event judgements did not go in my favor. Best of all, he he's affordable. Instead of doing all the legwork at high rates, he had paralegals do it at a much lower cost to me. I sill had to do some of my own legwork as well, but anyone who hands an issue like child support or child custody off and doesn't pitch in and help get's what they asked for. I was referred to him through the local chapter of the California Father's rights group, who also have very high marks for him. He has high ratings for a reason. The only mistake I made with Roy was not calling him sooner.

Quite simply, if you want the best and most honest representation in matters of family law then Roy Doppelt and his associates are the choice for you. I retained Roy to represent me in a custody case that stretched across the country and spanned five years. Throughout that time Roy provided consistent guidance and insured that I had realistic expectations of what we could accomplish. He aimed for the stars (full legal and physical custody) when I told him that was what I wanted but kept my feet firmly on the ground in terms of expectations. Roy is the consummate professional and he and his staff did an excellent job of advising me and keeping me informed and connected throughout the five years which included a six month deployment to Afghanistan. He listened to my input and was straightforward about how things would flow and what to expect. His attention to detail and knowledge of family law is remarkable. Throughout the proceedings, my former spouse tried to slide things past the court and at every turn Roy was always prepared to defeat her efforts. He carries himself extremely well in court and presents his case clearly. Bottom line is that Roy and his firm were most successful on my children’s and my behalf in what was a landmark case in the state of California. If you are looking for a knowledgeable attorney who understands the workings of the legal system, I strongly recommend you consider Roy Doppelt.

Mr. Doppelt handled my divorce with care and precision. He gave me the guidance I needed and the leeway I requested to let me negotiate with my spouse in an effort to keep the relationship amicable and my legal expenses to a minimum. He stepped in when necessary and gave me blunt, honest and helpful advice that allowed me to keep my emotions out of the process. Divorce is never easy, but he made it easier for me.

Mr. Doppelt showed me the profesionalism and the respect that each and every client would want and should receive. I was never kept in the dark about anything in my case. He was sincere and honest. Mr. Doppelt and his staff come highly recommended by me. They were all "Awesome".
