Mike should be everyone's lawyer

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.

Alimony Attorney

My husband was very blessed to have Mike Razo as his attorney. His case was not only unique but over 20 years old. Though we went to trial snd spent many hours at the Hemet Courthouse, Mike was able to get rhe bedt ruling anyone could have expected. After hours and hours of testimony from both par...ties, the Commissioner was able to make her ruling. Mike was not only professional, but very knowledgeable and advised us every step of the way. Everything Mike advised us on came true! He’s a very smart and compassionate attorney. Even though the trial seemed to drag on because of opposing council, Mike was able to handle our case with ease. Not only was alimony set at Zero, but we were finally done that day of the judge’s decision. We would most definitely recommend Mike for any case whether current or an old case. He’s a very kind and respected attorney.

Best lawyer ever.

A word about Mike Razo, Our family was represented in a way that honored exactly how we wanted to be heard. Calm, cool and collected, with wise and thoughtful words that were never catty or slanderous. We had a very complicated, out of ordinary case that Mike navigated with bold kindness. Every hea...ring he was always was extremely prepared, focused, well spoken and can pull family law from memory. He is clearly respected by all at the courthouse. His response time was always quick and we felt like we were his priority. After watching many hearings and seeing first hand how important it is to be represented well we would choose Mike a million times over. Watching him in action, he is absolutely on a higher caliber in his field than others. “Some lawyers got As some lawyers gots Cs they’re all lawyers, Mike got As” as my husband says. Mike saved our family and we are eternally grateful. Absolutely worth every penny.

Knowledgeable, Prepared and Professional

Mike Razo is at the top of his game. I had a long, arduous case and Mike performed exceptionally from start to finish. I have already implored friends to retain his skill set and I will continue to refer anyone having to deal with the difficulties that arise from divorce, child support, alimony and c...ustody to use Mike Razo to help properly guide them through the process.
