David A. Fink

David works to guide families through difficult transitions with compassion and respect.  He believes that most families can, with the right kind of help, settle their disagreements out of court.  For that reason,  he has focused his practice on consensual dispute resolution, using his 33 years of experience in family law help families resolve issues in a way that is appropriate to their family. His services are often less time-consuming, less stressful and less expensive than taking a case all the way through litigation in family court. Mr. Fink serves families throughout California via video conferencing.

Mr. Fink serves families as a neutral temporary judge, mediator, referee, and arbitrator for families experiencing what is often a difficult life transition. In the role of a neutral, Mr. Fink taps into a depth of wisdom that only comes from decades of practice and long experience working constructively with parties, attorneys and experts. He supports parties to stay in control of their individual life situations by resolving and negotiating issues outside of court.

Mr. Fink was admitted to practice in the state of California in 1987, after earning a Juris Doctor earlier that year. Mr. Fink was certified by The State Bar of California as a Family Law Specialist in 1993 and became a Certified Fellow of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML) in 2000. Mr. Fink served as chair of The State Bar of California Family Law Section (1999-2000) and as president of the Northern California Chapter of the AAML (2008). Mr. Fink has also been selected for inclusion in the Northern California Super Lawyers list every year since its inception in 2004.
