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.
