About

We specialize in bankruptcy, estate planning and probate. Since 1999, I have had a law office in Walnut Creek.  I am one of approximately 130 attorneys in California and only 1 of 5 attorneys in Contra Costa County to be certified as a specialist in bankruptcy law by the State Bar of California Office of Legal Specialization.   I provide comprensive bankruptcy assistance for my clients in the areas of both consumer and business bankruptcy matters: Chapters 7, 11, 13. In the bankruptcy area, we provide legal counsel and representation for people who need relief from overwhelming debt and for businesses that are having financial problems. As a certified specialist with 20 years of experience, David Arietta will personally evaluate your unique financial situation to determine if bankruptcy is the best solution, and if so, recommend what type of bankruptcy would best pertain to your situation.  We help you every step of the way, giving you a fresh start towards your new financial future free of debt. In the estate planning and probate area, we help individuals and couples plan for their estates and ensure they have proper control over their finances in the event of death or incapacity.  Common devices we use are wills, trusts and powers of attorney.  After the death of a loved one, we assist in handling the affairs either through probate or trust administration.  Other practice areas include heir disputes, trust litigation, and conservatorships.

Initially I chose David Arietta because his office was close to my home and was pleasantly surprised what a professional he turned out to be! David answered all of my questions thoroughly, explained in detail all the steps we were going to take. I immediately felt at ease and that I was in good hands. His staff is also very nice and courteous. My calls were always returned in timely manner by either David or his secretary and paralegal. I would defenitely recommend this office to people who are seeking legal help.

Helped me even though I was very confused about bankruptcy. Kept me informed about my case and was up front about any costs and consequences. I had to move half way through my case, but he finished it and helped me despite the distance.

I would highly recommend David Arietta. He was very knowledgeable and we were pleased with his services. We had never filed bk so we did not know what to do and David Arietta explained the process in a way we could understand. It made a very stressful time a little easier know he was representing us.

I completely agree with the one star review that was left. David Arrieta was extremely difficult to get ahold of while I was paying him a lot of money to deal with my bankruptcy case. His lack of attention to detail regarding my case cost me over $1,000 after my case was closed. I asked the IRS why I wasn't informed of additional penalties that were accumulating over the course of my payment plan and they informed me that my attorney was responsible for providing me with this information! Because he wasn't thorough with my case and decided not to have a sit down meeting with the IRS representative to go over the details of my case, the $130 penalty that could've been taken care of at the beginning of this process ballooned to almost $1,100. David Arietta refused to take responsibility and fed me untrue information as to why the IRS was coming after me for more additional information. I would NOT recommend him for any type of assistance in this area!!
