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.

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!!

I'm a single father who was struggling to get custody established for my 2 year old son. The case to do so was long and arduous but Mr. Pinol by far invested the most time and effort and for that I'm eternally grateful. He quickly became my point of contact for any questions or concerns in the case a...s I could always count on his prompt, thoughtful response and that action would be taken. Every time something came up for the case (which was very often) he would reach out to me and prepare a response immediately. Mr. Pinol's skill at examining and organizing the huge sums of evidence from discovery was nothing short of inspiring. Mr. Pinol was always friendly and understanding during conversations but he displayed remarkable poise and skill during depositions and courtroom appearances. Despite the emotionally difficult nature of the case itself Mr. Pinol's work ethic and prowess instilled a great deal of confidence that if nothing else at least no effort was spared. In the end I won primary custody of my son and Mr. Pinol was pivotal to that outcome. I could not possibly thank him enough. Even since Mr. Pinol has remained my point of contact for questions and concerns with the case and has remained just as responsive as he was during the case. His concern for my son's continued well-being is truly a testament to his great character and dedication to his clients. Rich has a bright future as an attorney and any individual would be fortunate to have him on their side of a case.
