Walnut Creek divorce attorney Benjamin Lopatin pursued a career in family law because he enjoys helping people and families in their time of need.
“Family law clients are often going through one of the more emotionally charged times in their lives,” Mr. Lopatin said. “I enjoy helping navigate them through the legal process and mitigating the emotional toll that the cases have on clients.”
Mr. Lopatin is a skilled negotiator. He understands that when the parties can agree on issues, it is often to their mutual benefit and leaving issues up to a judge to decide can sometimes delay relief or produce a result that neither party is happy with.
“Although this process might not be quick, I will fully explain each step we will take along the way, and I take pride in providing my clients a quick response to any questions or requests,” he said.

Mr. Lopatin is licensed to practice in California.
