Richard Michael Pinol

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.

I initially hired Rich to help me defend some very serious allegations like drinking and driving with my child in the car and accusations of domestic violence in my home. At the time I was at risk of losing my 50/50 custody due to these allegations. Rich was available pretty much whenever I needed hi...m to be to discuss the case. He foreshadowed the family law court process for me so I knew what to expect and exactly what my options were. I found Rich to be extremely efficient in everything he did and kept every deadline we had. my custody case lasted many months and ultimately I was able to clear my name plus maintain custody of my son. For context Rich was my attorney for several months and about 18k of attorney fees. I would not hesitate to hire Rich again if needed. Worth every penny.

Rich was not the attorney I intended to have represent me in my divorce; however, I could not be happier with the great care he took over my case. The attorney I retained (at the same firm) was healing from a surgery and was wrapped up in court, in the most complex custody case they had ever seen. I ...was not dismayed in the slightest as Rich took over the reigns and quickly gained my confidence. While a relatively young attorney, he lacked none of the skills necessary to fight for my rights as I saw them and provide sound advice. He was compassionate, eager, punctual, and aggressive (but not overly). Even though I was the respondent in a divorce, I often felt we had the upper hand. Rich always made time for me even for the little things. He never minimized my questions or concerns but provided reassurance when I needed it. He always matched my level of attention and care for a situation. I was blessed to be referred by a friend to Marcus, Hardee, Davies, and Piñol. The best ending I could’ve asked for. Thank you again Rich!!
