Highly recommended

My husband and I hired Mr. Pinol as our representation in a step-parent adoption case. Him and his paralegal were both amazing and informative. H they both made this process easy and quick. I highly recommend Mr. Pinol.

Supportive and Fierce

Working with Rich through my custody modification was a wonderful experience. When I would start stressing, Rich always took the time for a phone call or in-person chat to go over the issues, and help me better understand my options. At each hearing and ultimately the final settlement conference, I ...felt incredibly supported by not only Rich’s knowledge of law, but also his understanding of my case and the issues involved. So grateful to have found him!

A good human, a strong attorney, and a straight shooter.

Throughout a lengthy custody battle, Mr. Pinol never let up in fighting for my parental rights. Due to my repeated inability to follow the parameters of temporary custody orders, I wouldn't be surprised if my case were one of the most frustrating for Mr. Pinol to navigate. However, he never spoke dow...n to me and always told me what I needed to hear, and I never got the feeling that he regretted taking my case. From the outset, I could tell that Mr. Pinol was a fierce competitor in his realm, and he was not afraid to litigate if circumstances warranted it. After the close of my custody case, which had an extremely favorable outcome for me and my son, I still struggled to take advantage of it due to personal issues. However, when the mother of my son continued to defy the custody court order, Mr. Pinol didn't hesitate to take on a new case for petitioning the court. He didn't do it because he needed the business or was looking forward to me being his client again; I think it was because he believes that I love my son, and he saw me trying.

Amazing lawyer !

Rich and his team of paralegals did an outstanding job handling my custody case from start to finish. They were professional, knowledgeable, and always made time to keep me informed and supported throughout the process. Their attention to detail and timely communication helped everything move forward... smoothly without unnecessary stress. It was clear they truly cared and knew exactly what they were doing every step of the way. Thanks to their hard work, I reached a successful outcome with ease and confidence
