I hired private counsel for a custody case. Rich was the lawyer who took my case over. From the start, Rich communicated clearly, honestly and took the time to understand the case. It was important for Rich to achieve the outcome we both desired. The case ended up settling before trial, and it was a ...joyous outcome. I have no doubt that if we went to trial, we would have been extremely pleased with Rich's litigation ability. In dealing with the opposing attorney, Rich professionally called him out on lies his client told, was able to clearly articulate facts of the case that would play into a ruling before a judge and at all times felt Rich had my best interest in mind. It removed a lot of anxiety, and gave me the confidence and assurance that I needed to bring this chapter of my life to a close. If you are looking for an attorney with integrity, you found one. I hope to never need these types of services again, but if I do, Rich will be my first call.

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!

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.
