I became an attorney because of the way I was raised by my parents, to respect the law, and to treat people the way you expect them to treat you. My family and education background taught me to help people and protect those that need protecting. I became a Family Law Attorney because I realized that there was a need for family lawyers that want to help their clients through the most difficult journey of their lives. This is especially true if there are children involved. Coming from a strong Italian family background, I was shown by my parents that children come first. I truly care about my clients and their children..
I have dedicated myself, since the day I decided to go to law school, to becoming the best educated, most knowledgeable, most technically proficient attorney, and most importantly, the most caring that I can be. I have built my practice since 1990 based upon this approach with a goal of providing the best possible legal care to individuals with divorce and family law needs.”

Attorney Richard Prantil
Richard is quick to listen and address all your questions and concerns. He makes sure to take care of business and is genuine and caring. I would recommend Richard to represent your child custody/divorce case.

Always had my back!
I have read the negative reviews on here and I think someone just had an ax to grind. Richard Prantil never made much money on my case and had to be patient with my payments since I was coming out of an abusive marriage and had little money to my name. In spite of that, Mr Prantil ALWAYS returned p...

Awesome
I was hesitant to hire Mr. P [as he likes to be called] because of what I read on line. Boy I am glad I did. He came through and he helped me understand that the best interests of children are the most important. He really helped me and in turn that helped my children

One of the bedt
Mr. Prantil is a fine family law attorney. He told me what to expect and he was almost 100% correct. His fees are reasonable and he delivers. I have read other reviews and these are wrong and obviously from the other sides of his cases.

The most incompetent, lazy, inappropriate, and unprofessional attorney in San Diego
I hired this attorney for my divorce. He has great sales skills, however he is lazy and incompetent. He did not keep me informed about my case. He made mistakes with my case and would always blame the "clerk at the courthouse." He took my money and did not file. I found out that my ex was suing me r...
"Mr. Prantil is an exceptional family law attorney. He is a certified by the State Bar of California, California Board of Legal Specialization in family law. I have known Mr. Prantil for several years and have worked with him when we have a mutual client. He cares about his clients and works to ensure the best results for his clients. I strongly recommend Mr. Prantil for family law matters."
"I endorse this lawyer. Richard is a good man, that knows what he is doing and is always tirelessly advocating for his clients. I have worked with him on several cases and found him to be results oriented and thus able to keep the focus of preserving community assets, and coming to resolutions that do not involve long and unnecessary litigation."
