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.

We represent retailers, pharmacists, and other businesses in employment, pharmaceutical, commercial and premises liability matters. We specialize in aggressive, but economical defense of complex matters. I have a great deal of successful trial and binding arbitration experience, and believe that good lawyering can still make a difference.  We have extensive experience in state and federal courts throughout the country.
