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 interes...t 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 ot...her 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.

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.
