Richard Michael Pinol

Highly recommend Mr. Pinol and his firm. Very efficient and thorough. He made the process smooth and fast. He is one of the best! Always quick to respond and handled everything with integrity. I’m appreciative to have been able to have had him on my case.

I highly recommend Rich for any child custody/child support needs. He was great and easy to work with, highly efficient and helpful. He was always available to speak with me at anytime, and made a stressful situation as easy as possible!

I am very happy my family and I could put this experience behind us however I am thankful Rich and his impeccable knowledge of law was there for us every step of the way. We went in with a custody dispute started by the opposing party and walked out with very favorable results beyond anything we thought was possible.

I wanted a lawyer whom somebody I knew could recommend to me, but it didn't work out. I was referred to Rich by a lawyer who I didn't know, so I went in "cold" as it were, and I feel I really "lucked out" with Rich. He was professional, understanding, and efficient (as was his support staff). It was my 1st (and I hope only) divorce, and you really don't know what to expect. Rich was excellent at separating the wheat from the chaff, (I'm talking about what I thought was important, and what Rich knew was important). Every little thing I thought was important turned out pretty much not to be, and he saved me money by just sticking to the crucial areas. We had to be patient to get to the finish line with what I wanted, and Rich was the "man". I only realize this now that it is over. He had the right tact and experience to get us there. Like I said, I feel fortunate that I ended up with Rich, and in the end (and even during), I felt "that is why you hire a professional". I can truly say I was fortunate to end up in Rich Pinol's hands for what it is truly a negative experience (i.e. DIVORCE).

Rich is a phenomenal lawyer. I knew I wanted to hire Rich at our first meeting when he didn’t sugar coat my situation. He is a no nonsense lawyer and he calls it how it is. From the beginning of my case Rich was able to breakdown the opposing counsels case and I often knew what was coming my way. In the courtroom he was confident and well prepared. So well prepared that I felt he knew more about my case than I did. He knew what to argue and how to argue it too. Rich is also a passionate man and seems to thoroughly enjoy what he does. He truly cares not only about your case but about you as a person calling me on multiple occasions just to check in and see how things were going. He was more than willing to work with my financial situation and I highly recommend you hire Rich. Not only is Rich great but the people in his office are as well they are friendly, easy to get a hold of, and quick to respond. My case turned out better than I expected and as a young father I couldn’t be more thankful for all the hard work Rich and everyone else put into my case.

Rich was a pinch hitter while Greg was out of town and had little time to prepare for the trial. He did awesome and he was on it. There was no question he knew his way around a trial. I would also rate his mustache (not pictured) a 5 five as well.

Rich was an amazing advocate for me during a very contentious guardianship case. The knowledge, attention to detail and tireless work that Rich put into my case was impressive. There were numerous documents and other pieces of evidence that Rich reviewed with me to build the best case. He spent long afternoons and even weekends going over this evidence and preparing for the various hearings that were happening in a short time frame. Rich was able to get an expedited trial set for me at the onset of the case which was fantastic but it also increased his workload, he took on this added pressure without hesitation. Rich and his team were compassionate in recognizing how sensitive and emotionally charged my case was. They were also very honest in what they relayed to me and the possible outcomes that could happen. My daughters and I were important to Rich and his team and the many hours that they put into my case resulted in the positive outcome.

I actually changed lawyers midway through my child custody/support case to be able to have Rich represent me. He is amazing at what he does, extremely hard working, and he makes you feel heard which was important to me. Within the first week of having Rich as my lawyer he had done more for my case than my previous lawyer had done for me and my case in 5 months. He not only fought hard for me, but with his knowledge of the law, he was able to get me a better outcome in my case than I was planning for. I highly recommend Rich to anyone who is in need of a child custody/support lawyer.

Rich has provided excellence in all areas through my recent divorce and child custody processes. Rich upholds the highest standards of professionalism, works diligently for the best possible outcome for his clients and remains humble when he achieves them. Rich is communicative, organized and insightful. He is empathic and sensitive to the personal aspect of family law; he takes the time to really listen, understand the dynamics of issues such as domestic abuse, document all details and develop strategy. I could not have asked for more integrity or quality service in my legal counsel for one of the most difficult periods of my life. This goes equally for all staff on Rich's team. I would recommend Rich and his team to anyone in need of the best representation in family law.

Rich has assisted with and has been representation for me for the last few years while going through a custody adjustment for my teenager. Rich is extremely sharp and detail oriented. He took the time on many occasions to review and explain the legal process to me while laying out what the best course of action would be for my case. Never did I doubt his recommendations as he is very trustworthy and transparent with his knowledge. Rich is able to explain the why’s which I found very help. With Rich’s expertise and guidance, I was able to secure primary physical custody of my son (as a father) which will forever impact his life for the better. I can’t thank Rich and Team enough for what they have done for me and my family. I would highly recommend Rich’s services.
