Best Outcome Possible

Rich was very amazing to work with. He helped us navigate a very complex termination/adoption case. He was straight to the point and very professional. He made sure to keep us informed throughout the whole process. The outcome was better and faster than we anticipated. We highly recommend him to anyo...ne. Thank you Rich.

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.

did the job but could have been a better experience

Rich did complete the job he was hired to do and advocated the terms I wanted in my divorce. The process was frustrating however, communication could have been better. Consistently I felt I would only get updates on the process if I asked very specific questions and I was left guessing a lot of the... time.

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.

Amazing lawyer !

Rich and his team of paralegals did an outstanding job handling my custody case from start to finish. They were professional, knowledgeable, and always made time to keep me informed and supported throughout the process. Their attention to detail and timely communication helped everything move forward... smoothly without unnecessary stress. It was clear they truly cared and knew exactly what they were doing every step of the way. Thanks to their hard work, I reached a successful outcome with ease and confidence
