ABOUT DONALD B. SERAFANO — ORANGE COUNTY & LOS ANGELES FAMILY LAW ATTORNEY
Donald B. Serafano is a Senior Trial Attorney at Reel Fathers Rights APC with nearly 30 years of legal experience in Southern California’s family courts — a depth of practice that places him among the most seasoned family law litigators at any firm in the Orange County and Los Angeles region. A graduate of the University of California, Davis School of Law — one of California’s most respected public law institutions — and Claremont McKenna College, where he double-majored in History and P.P.E. (Political Science, Philosophy, and Economics), Donald brings an exceptional academic foundation to a career defined by sustained courtroom excellence and comprehensive command of the full range of California family law.
Donald’s nearly 30-year practice covers the complete family law spectrum: dissolution of marriage, paternity proceedings, spousal support, child support, property division, child custody and visitation, domestic violence matters, and contempt of court proceedings. Over that span, he has represented clients ranging from high-net-worth individuals and small business owners to families of moderate means — adapting his strategy, communication style, and approach to serve each client’s unique circumstances with equal care and effectiveness. That versatility, built across nearly three decades of varied representation, distinguishes Donald from attorneys whose experience is confined to a narrow client profile or a limited range of case types.
UC DAVIS LAW & CLAREMONT MCKENNA: AN EXCEPTIONAL ACADEMIC FOUNDATION
Donald’s double major in History and P.P.E. at Claremont McKenna College — one of the most academically rigorous liberal arts institutions in the United States — sharpened the analytical and argumentative capabilities that distinguish the most effective trial attorneys. His Juris Doctorate from UC Davis School of Law placed him among the graduates of one of California’s most respected public law institutions. Nearly 30 years of courtroom experience has fully realized that training’s potential.
CONTEMPT OF COURT, HIGH-NET-WORTH DIVORCE & COMPLEX LITIGATION
Donald’s nearly 30-year command of California family law gives him institutional knowledge of local judicial officers, courtroom practices, and county-specific procedural norms across Orange County and Los Angeles County. His experience with contempt proceedings — for violations of child support orders, custody and visitation interference, and property division non-compliance — requires the precise procedural compliance and careful evidentiary presentation that his nearly three decades of practice have refined to a high level.
ORANGE COUNTY & LOS ANGELES FAMILY COURTHOUSES
Donald appears regularly before the Lamoreaux Justice Center at 341 The City Drive South in Orange — the primary Orange County family law venue. For Los Angeles County matters, he appears before the Stanley Mosk Courthouse at 111 North Hill Street in downtown Los Angeles, the Long Beach Courthouse at 415 West Ocean Boulevard serving South Bay communities, and the Pomona Courthouse South at 400 Civic Center Plaza serving the eastern San Gabriel Valley.
