Highly recommend Rich Pinol

I can’t recommend Rich P. highly enough as a child custody lawyer. From the very beginning, he was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in protecting my child’s best interests. He took the time to explain every step of the process, answered my questions clearly, and made an incredibly ...stressful situation feel manageable. Rich is strategic, prepared, and confident in the courtroom, but also compassionate and understanding as a person. I always felt heard, supported, and well-represented. Thanks to his dedication and hard work, I felt secure knowing my case was in the best possible hands. I received the best possible outcome thanks to Rich P. If you need a strong, trustworthy advocate for a custody matter, Rich P. is the lawyer you want on your side.

Outstanding communication & diligence

I can’t recommend Rich highly enough. He was incredibly diligent, reliable, and helpful throughout my custody case for my daughter. He consistently went above and beyond, always taking the time to explain things clearly and making sure I felt supported every step of the way. What stood out most was h...ow positively and professionally he spoke about the situation, even during stressful moments. It made a difficult process feel manageable and gave me confidence that my case was truly being handled with care. I’m beyond grateful for his dedication and support.

Supportive and Fierce

Working with Rich through my custody modification was a wonderful experience. When I would start stressing, Rich always took the time for a phone call or in-person chat to go over the issues, and help me better understand my options. At each hearing and ultimately the final settlement conference, I ...felt incredibly supported by not only Rich’s knowledge of law, but also his understanding of my case and the issues involved. So grateful to have found him!

A good human, a strong attorney, and a straight shooter.

Throughout a lengthy custody battle, Mr. Pinol never let up in fighting for my parental rights. Due to my repeated inability to follow the parameters of temporary custody orders, I wouldn't be surprised if my case were one of the most frustrating for Mr. Pinol to navigate. However, he never spoke dow...n to me and always told me what I needed to hear, and I never got the feeling that he regretted taking my case. From the outset, I could tell that Mr. Pinol was a fierce competitor in his realm, and he was not afraid to litigate if circumstances warranted it. After the close of my custody case, which had an extremely favorable outcome for me and my son, I still struggled to take advantage of it due to personal issues. However, when the mother of my son continued to defy the custody court order, Mr. Pinol didn't hesitate to take on a new case for petitioning the court. He didn't do it because he needed the business or was looking forward to me being his client again; I think it was because he believes that I love my son, and he saw me trying.
