Smart, dogged, honest and effective.

Rich became my primary attorney for my divorce, as represented by Marcus, Christian, Hardee and Davies. My divorce, at first blush, seemed to be straight forward. However, like many things in life, complications arose soon after. What my spouse wanted through the divorce was not only unreasonable, bu...t not based on the law (the other side was asking for 80% of our entire estate). Rich then took on the job of educating opposing counsel by citing case law and our trial position, to which the other side conceded. This was accomplished because Rich displayed superior legal knowledge, patience, doggedness and at times, when necessary, a frankness with opposing counsel in order to keep things moving forward with settlement as our goal. I am happy to report Rich achieved substantially equal distribution of our estate. While the divorce was painful and frustrating for me, Rich, Brandi, and Sofia (My Team!) kept me grounded and helped me from making mistakes based on emotion. When I needed them, they were all in my corner. I cannot stress how much I would recommend Rich to anyone who has a family law issue.

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.

Fantastic attorney!

Richard Pinol represented us in a child custody case that was very intense and stressful. Mr. Pinol did a remarkable job in spending countless hours collecting and prioritizing evidence. He continually kept us up to date on the case and was always accessible when we had questions or asked for advice.... His entire office staff: Amy, Holly, and Brandie were always working diligently on preparing and sending out documents. We could not have asked for better service! Mr. Pinol was dedicated, caring, hard working, and very prepared when the case entered into trial. Our case had a positive legal outcome, and we will forever be grateful for the manner in which Mr. Pinol handled our case. We would strongly recommend him to anyone looking for an outstanding attorney to handle their child custody case. He is an excellent attorney!
