Professional, Understanding, Friendly

Mr Pinol worked with our family’s for gaining custody of our nephew 2019-2020. Not only was he thorough and knowledgeable concerning the case, but he was also concise, direct, and showed compassion for the situation. Yes, he is professional, but also showed us that he genuinely cared for our unique s...ituation. I admire his punctuality, determination, and ability to speak with confidence and authority in court. Plus, he has great taste in music :)

Excellent and confident

Rich made me feel confident about my complex custody case. He met all my expectations and I would recommend him anytime of the the day.

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!!

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.
