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.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2001.

Discipline with Actual Suspension issued in CA, 2001

updated on 03/01/2016

This sanction means the attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.

Richard’s comment:

“An attorney should never represent himself and that was my biggest mistake. My suspension occurred the day before 9/11 each and the lesson I learned made my a better attorney”
