Benjamin Yip

Benjamin Yip is a certified family law specialist with Wilkinson & Finkbeiner, LLP, in San Diego, California, where he focuses exclusively on complex family law matters. His practice encompasses divorce, paternity disputes, high-asset marital estates, child custody, move-away cases and domestic violence restraining orders. With a litigation-driven approach, he represents executives, entrepreneurs, business owners and spouses navigating financially or emotionally complex family disputes.

Mr. Yip earned his undergraduate degree from the University of California, San Diego, before attending Loyola Law School. Following law school, he began his career at an international law firm, where he handled large class-action defense matters. That experience provided him with a strong foundation in complex litigation before he devoted his practice entirely to family law, where he has focused for the past decade.

Beyond his client work, Mr. Yip remains actively involved in the legal community. He serves on the Board of the San Diego County Family Law Bar Association and is a member of both the San Diego County Bar Association and the North County Bar Association. He also serves as a voluntary mandatory settlement conference judge for the North County and downtown courthouses, contributing his experience to help parties resolve challenging disputes.

Mr. Yip received the Wiley W. Manuel Certificate from The State Bar of California in recognition of his commitment to pro bono legal service. As a certified family law specialist, he brings recognized knowledge to sophisticated family law matters.

What distinguishes Mr. Yip is his strategic and principled approach when disputes become highly contentious. He has secured favorable outcomes in complex custody and move-away matters, defended clients facing restraining orders and negotiated sophisticated divorce settlements involving substantial assets and long-term marriages. His experience with domestic and international financial interests allows him to approach each case with careful preparation, practical judgment and focused advocacy.
