Michael Anthony Razo

I was first referred to Mike Razo by a dear friend who was also an attorney. At the time, I was confused and very afraid. My marriage was ending, I was facing criminal charges and I was broke....In EVERY sense of the word. There were so many "moving parts" that seemed to be spinning out of contr...ol, my entire world was crashing. But then I met Mike.....and things began to change. Just in talking with him, I knew that he saw not only all the legal stuff, but he saw ME and my pain. He is a very kind and genuine person. I left his office feeling a sense of calm and hope. He was able to stand back and look at the "big picture" of what I was facing and immediately started helping me to get all my "ducks in a row", so that each problem was dealt with in a deliberate and methodical way. I really wasn't the ideal client most of the time, I seemed to drop the ball quite often. When I look back over the process now, I know that he practically carried me through a lot of it. I never had any doubt that he truly had MY best interest behind any decisions or compromises that we dealt with. And hes really SMART with all the legal stuff too !! Im very happy with the outcome of everything......he was able to get the criminal charges dropped and the divorce settlement was very fair for all parties. I feel very blessed to have him, not only as my attorney, but now as a friend as well. Im a strong believer in the fact that "everything happens for a reason" so if you're reading this, more than likely, there's a reason for it. Call him.....you'll see! : )

Our family has needed representation twice now and both times we have used the Law Team at Bratton Razo & Lord. Should we need them again we would not hesitate to retain their services. We were recently represented by Mr. Mike Razo. Mr. Razo was both professional and considerate during the durati...on of our case. His knowledge and ability to quickly and precisely navigate the legal system has resulted in another positive outcome for our family. Several years ago we were represented by Mr. William Bratton. His ability to provide positive results while helping us to understand the process, as well as provide support throughout our case, gave us the confidence and trust in his firm to seek representation once more when we were tasked again with defending our family. Needing to seek representation to defend our family was both frustrating and unfortunate, but the one thing that never crossed my mind was that I didn't have the "best in their fields" attorney's fighting along side of us. If you are in need of someone to stand along side of you, that will give you confidence and the peace of mind to know that you are in good hands, then I recommend trusting Bratton Razo & Lord to stand in your corner as well. Thanks again Mr. Razo and Mr Bratton for your kindness, professionalism and skill during times of uncertainty and frustration. God bless you and may you continue to be successful as you stand with others during difficult times in their lives.

Mr. Razzo did a phenomenal job representing me during a very emotional and stressful time. His litigation skills and professionalism allowed him to represent me in court with ease and efficiency. He is timely, informative and knowledgeable. He and his staff are always available to answer all and any ...questions.

I hired Michael Razo to be my attorney in my divorce case starting in August 2016. I know that everybody has the assumption that their divorce case may have been very difficult and extreme. Mine was nothing short of that to say the least. At the time in August 2016 my now ex-wife, left the house a...nd was not speaking to me and took our then 15 year old daughter with her and was not allowing me to see her or talk to her at all. Many harsh allegations were being made against me. At the time my situation looked very bleak. My ex-wife was not speaking to me at all and I was unable to see or speak with my fifteen-year-old daughter for 6 months. My divorce case was a unusual difficult one. Much more difficult than the average so I was told by counselors child protective services and the mediator as well as the judge. I was heartbroken and in very much distressed through most of the first year of the divorce process. My family had been torn apart and I was unable to speak or see my very much love daughter. Thanks to the expertise Mr. Razo , we began a loan challenging Journey to get my daughter back into my custody and out of a very dangerous situation. This task was not an easy one to communicate to the judge, counselors and Social Services. Thanks to Mr. Razo and being an experienced attorney and knowing the best directions to go and the best professionals to go to to help my situation as far as court order counseling for my daughter and other professionals that could help my case. He knew the best people to go to. This was a very vital part of my case that allowed me to get custody 100% of my daughter. Mr. Razo is a very professional attorney, which I witnessed him taking a very difficult case and presenting the matter in front of the court in a manner that clarified exactly what was going on and how my case should be ruled in order to receive a full custody of my daughter. Mr. Razo is also a very compassionate attorney. He believes in Family Values and he understood my heartbreak and the stress that I was under. He was always available for any questions that I had and explained everything in great detail so I could understand. Mr. Razo was excellent in returning phone calls in a timely manner and presenting the information in a clear way so that I understood whatever needed to be accomplished. Mr. Razo was also able to negotiate my financial situation to the best possible scenario that would work for me. Although my divorce was an expensive one, it could have been worse if we had gone to trial and I could have had things lingering in the balance for a long time. However we were able to negotiate an agreement that would allow me to pay her out and keep the house at a price that I was able to move on with my life. Mr. Razo is an excellent attorney he knows his trade, he knows other professionals that could help, such as counselors in the area of Riverside and he knows the law and will give you the best sound advice for your situation. He is not an attorney that will lead you down a rabbit Trail. He is focused on what is best for you and your family. Divorce is tragic and I I wish no one had to go through it. However that's not the reality of life. If you ever are in that situation I highly recommend hiring attorney Michael Razo to represent you in your case.

I hired this firm in December 2013 while I was in a treatment center getting help. Bratton Law Office took on my case, even though the odds were stacked against me. They had a plan and it was my responsibility to follow all directions from them and do my part to ensure we had a fighting chance. I h...ad to live with my ex so I could stay with my children, stay sober and attend meetings. I did everything that was recommended and after 2 years, with still no divorce, I was able to move out and had temporary 50/50 custody of my children. Michael Razo stepped in at this point and attended all hearings with me and continued with the strategic plan that was initiated from the beginning. He kind, considerate and respectful even when I became frustrated and complained often that the situation was ridiculous. He negotiated a fair settlement with his attorney in September 2016, which my ex grudgingly agreed with. Then in December, the ex decided it wasn’t a fair settlement and fired his attorney, putting us back at ground zero. Through all of this, Mr. Razo helped me remain calm and patient through the process. In March 2017, I was diagnosed with cancer and Mr. Razo was so compassionate and even checked on me just to see how I was doing. I don’t know, but that doesn’t seem like a “normal” attorney thing to do. My ex eventually hired a different attorney and Mr. Razo worked cooperatively with him to eventually get my ex to agree to the initial settlement, which was fair (you know it’s fair when neither party is happy). So, after 4-1/2 years of nonsense, I’m happy to say that I am now divorced. I am thankful for Mr. Razo and Bratton Family Law for their patience, compassion, professionalism and knowledge. They didn’t give up on me and helped me have a life with my children that I wouldn’t have had without their assistance.
