Michael Anthony Razo

Choosing a family law attorney is one of the most important decisions you can make, and it truly makes all the difference. Divorce is never easy—there are no real “winners”—but having the right attorney by your side can change everything. I had the privilege of working with Mike Razo during a very... difficult three-year divorce that involved countless hearings and ex-parte matters. From start to finish, he was consistent, reliable, and compassionate. I never once felt alone in the process. Not a single email or call went unanswered—Mr. Razo always took the time to explain the next steps, answer my questions, and make sure I fully understood my options. What sets him apart is his honesty and deep knowledge of the law. There were times I asked for things that weren’t realistic, and he was upfront in explaining why they wouldn’t work. That honesty built a trust that never wavered. I knew he was advocating for me in the strongest way possible while keeping the focus on what the law would support. He not only fought tirelessly for me, but also made me feel safe and supported throughout the entire process—even something as simple as walking me to my car after a tough hearing showed his professionalism and care. Every outcome we achieved was fair, lawful, and in line with what was best for my family. I tell everyone about “my attorney” because I truly believe if it weren’t for Mr. Razo and God, I don’t know where I’d be today. My divorce is finally over, but there is no question that he will continue to be my attorney for any future custody matters. There are not enough words to describe my gratitude to Mr. Razo and his team. He was worth every single penny, and I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone in need of a strong, trustworthy, and compassionate family law attorney.

I was referred to Bratton & Razo by a family member who worked with Bill Bratton in the past after I was served with divorce papers. Mr. Bratton took my case and was very straight forward and honest. He asked me about my situation and to write down the three things I wanted most out of the situatio...n before filing my response. Those three items became the focal point around my response and every action that was taken was in direct support of each of those items. Mr. Bratton was very thorough, explaining approach and strategies, and always gave me a straight answer, even if the answer was not what I wanted to hear. He was very clear that the goal was to settle outside of court if at all possible; a goal that I was very much in support of. Juanita, his paralegal at the time, was on top of everything and very responsive during the entire process. I cannot say enough about how well the entire team performed and how well the office worked together. Unfortunately, my ex-spouse and I were unable to come to terms regarding custody of our children and school residency outside of court. Mr. Razo stepped in to represent me in court. He took the time to sit down with me ahead of the hearing to explain the process and what to expect. He also also prepared a series of questions to help him understand the situation, listened intently on what I believed was in the best interest of my children and why. I left his office feeling that Mr. Razo was just as invested in my children's well being as I was. Mr. Razo was extremely thorough, very well organized and prepared in court. He was very professional and logical in his approach and questions and was quick on his feet. Mr. Razo's expertise and experience was crucial in securing a favorable judgement, and I am very grateful for his representation. I wouldn't wish divorce on my worst enemy, but if you ever find yourself in need of a family law attorney, do yourself a huge favor and consult with Mr. Razo.

We have been clients of Mike Razo since February 2024 and it was the best decision we have ever made. He was not the first lawyer that represented us in the case for custody of our daughter. We had been fighting for primary custody since 2017 and spent tens of thousands of dollars in the process. Whe...n we retained Bratton and Razo, Mike was able to do what no other lawyer had been able to do in a fraction of the time, money, and headache. We now have 80% custody and he made that happen without us having to spend thousands of dollars and months of time on psychiatric evals like the previous lawyers all told us was necessary. Every step of the process went as smoothly as a custody case could go and every opportunity the court gave us, Mike got us closer to our goals. In just four months, we were granted primary custody and after eight months, we now have permanent orders from the court granting nearly everything we had hoped for. Our daughter is now in a home where she is free to grow to her full potential. She is at school every day, on time. She has the clothes and supplies she needs to succeed, and she is no longer in positions that no eight-year-old should have to be in. We have Mike Razo to thank for that. We will forever be grateful for what he has done for our family. He showed up to every court appearance on time and ready to present our case with full confidence. He was easy to reach and quick to respond to our calls and emails. I highly recommend Bratton and Razo to anyone who is fighting for their son or daughter’s future. If you have lost nearly all hope in the family law system like we had just eight short months ago, I recommend giving Mike Razo a shot.

I had to reopen custody due to certain circumstances and Mike did a phenomenal job. He usually can predict how things will play out and is fully transparent whether things may be in your favor or not. He helped me get what was best for the children and made everything as cheap as possible. He is a la...wyer you can trust and if you need someone to get you the best possible outcome, whether things look promising. Choosing a different lawyer over Mike is doing yourself a disservice.
