Beyond grateful for Rich and his team!

The best thing I ever did was listen to my gut and hire Rich. I initially sat down with him 2 years ago for a free consult. Rich ended up spending well over an hour of his time with me asking questions and taking notes. When I finally pulled the trigger and hired Rich he was completely familiar with ...who I was and still had our original notes 2 years later. Rich and his team have above and beyond exceeded any expectation I had walking into this. Rich genuinely has his clients best interest in mind, this was displayed countless times throughout our time spent leading up to trial. If you are looking for a down to earth, intelligent family attorney who is not afraid to fight for what is right, then you are looking in the right place! Best decision I ever made!

Worth every penny

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.

Compassionate and tenacious

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!!

Highly recommended.

Highly recommend retaining his services. He worked fast and efficiently, as well as giving excellent advice. With his help I was able to get my daughter back when I thought all hope was lost and I felt powerless.

Awesome Attorney

Rich Pinol represented me in a divorce case. My Ex wife didn't work and made a career out of filing motions, made false claims of adultery. Rich tried VERY hard to facilitate a settlement in an attempt to keep legal fees to a minimum. Rich's performance in court was phenomenal. His questions, res...ponses, and ability to think on the fly is amazing. Rich is very smart, and very quick. Not only that, Rich's personality makes him fun to interact with. I highly recommend Rich. Although I hope I don't have to, I'd use Rich for future legal needs. I can't say enough good things about him.
