Rich and his team were excellent to work with. Rich is very knowledgeable about family law and did everything he could to advocate for me and my children to get the outcome we were happy with. Even though it was a small custody modification suit we were fighting, Rich took it seriously and I felt he genuinely cared about my case and did a great job representing us. His team was all very well organized and thorough, kept track of deadlines and didn’t let anything slip through the cracks. Rich was always available to answer any questions and his whole team was prompt to respond to emails. I highly recommend this team.
Richard Pinol and his team did an amazing job! They went above and beyond for me. I live out of state and I had a challenging case from the start. Richard and his team (Devory and Asha) assured me that everything was going to be okay. They got the job done in a very timely manner and we were able to settle before going to trial which saved me thousands of dollars. That is something I thought would never happen because the mom was fighting for full custody and was completely unwilling to work with me. She was fighting me every step of the way but Richard was confident, calm, smart and could also be a little aggressive in the court room IF he needed to be to get his point across. I was very impressed. I would not want to put my trust in anybody other than Richard Pinol. He is worth every dime. Thanks again!

Excellent Attorney
Originally I had hired Dan Hardee to be my attorney but Rich Pinol handled the case for me mainly and by the end I had high confidence in Rich to handle the case all the way through. He was professional and helped me understand the process as it proceeded and was usually available via email and phone when needed for things that were urgent. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a good custody attorney! His staff was also amazing and they each handled the case with care and in a timely manner. A special thanks to this whole team of attorneys, paralegal's, and staff for everything you did!

Best Legal Team Around
I cannot say enough positive things about Rich Pinol and his outstanding legal team. From the moment I first reached out to Rich, he and his team were there for me every step of the way. They provided me with the guidance and support I needed to navigate the complex and emotional process of divorce.
Rich's legal assistant Devory and Asha were exceptional in their roles, always working diligently to keep me informed and up-to-date on any developments in my case. They were incredibly professional, organized, and responsive to all my needs and concerns.
I was particularly impressed by their ability to handle the many details of my case with precision and care, while at the same time providing me with the empathy and understanding I needed during such a difficult time.
Together, Rich, Devory, and Asha are an incredible team that goes above and beyond for their clients. They are not only skilled and knowledgeable professionals, but they are also compassionate, kind, and genuinely invested in their clients' well-being.
If you're looking for a divorce attorney and legal team that truly cares about their clients, look no further than Rich Pinol. I am so grateful for their help and support, and I highly recommend them to anyone in need of legal representation for their divorce.

Family Law
Rich is a wonderful attorney that exceeded our expectations. He helped navigate my husband and myself through the harsh world of having to terminate parental rights of our minor children's biological father. As well he helped us then file and get approved for my husband to adopt both children. Through the course of everything he was very responsive, informative and always made sure we were aware of the steps ahead. We would highly recommend him and the law firm.

Amazing Attorney!
We hired Mr. Pinol to help us with custody of our daughter. He is great because he cuts to the chase, no bs and battled for us to maintain what we have. We never ended up in court, and I would have had no worries with him if we did. Highly recommend!

BEST LAWYER IN TOWN!!!!
Rich is hands down one of the best out there. I have had the privileged of hiring him for 2 complicated and extensive custody battles. We had an amazing and positive outcome with both cases. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer to help me make sure everything went accordingly in the best interest for my children. Those are very stressful and challenging times in an individuals life and its important that you have a lawyer that cares and goes above and beyond for you. That would be Rich! He is very dedicated and fights some tough battles. Thanks again for all your help!

A great choice among family law attorneys!
Anyone who has dealt with family in law knows that the process can be extremely draining. It's not a place you want to cut corners with second rate attorneys. Through all the twists and turns, and the numerous motions of my case, Rich was there standing strong in front of me, and reaching out to other experts where he needed to for good advice. Although I stayed actively involved in the case and made most of the executive decisions, I relayed heavily on Rich's guidance to make those decisions. The judge ruled in my favor for all five motions brought against me. Insomuch as the proof is in the pudding, Rich is a great choice. I've never worked with a better family law attorney. Although I hope I will never need his services again, I would gladly use Rich again.

Top Notch!! Best in Boise!!!
Rich is the best attorney i have ever worked with, and I have worked with him on several matters now he is not like your normal attorney he doesn't treat you just like another client, he genuinely cares about his clients I look at Rich not only as my attorney but as a friend he is extremely professional very well versed in family law and always shows up prepared and ready for court we hired him a second time to do a termination/adoption after having a bad experience previously with another attorney I was very distraught but Rich always shows up and Saves the Day!!! He communicated with me through the entire process sending me emails on a weekly basis explaining all of the steps and process of what was happening he always kept me in the loop and up to date. The Day of court he showed up early and was prepared with all of the correct documents and everything went smoothly and it was the best day of Our Lives! I would highly recommend Rich to anyone who is looking for a family law attorney he is professional intelligent hardworking and extremely personable I will never be able to thank him enough for all of his hard work and Devotion to our case. Thank you so much for all you have done for our family we are forever grateful!

Personable Professional and Prompt
Rich Pinol is a master of his craft. His expertise in family law helped me easily navigate the divorce process which was previously unknown to me. He was able to take complex matters such as family law and jurisprudence and explain it to me in simple terms. He is able to make his clients feel as if they are his only client. I would highly recommend Rich Pinol to anyone seeking legal counsel for their divorce.

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.

Mr.
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).

Well prepared, passionate, caring.
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.
