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 phon...e 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.

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 professio...nal 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!

Reassuring, Articulate, Knowledgable, Effective

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!

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.
