Great Assistance

Michael Razo and the staff at Bratton, Bratton, and Raza were outstanding with assisting me through a pretty nasty divorce. They were straight forward and honest with all that was involved. I really appreciated the one on one assistance and explanations of any and all processes that were involved.

Bad divorce isn't so bad with a great lawyer

Michael Razo represented me, as the respondent, in a nasty divorce. He was VERY efficient with his knowledge of the law and spelled it out in detail. He also was very hands on and responded to all my questions in a very timely manner. He showed me that he really cared about my case. He also saved me ...a ton of money. His cost is within industry standard and was well worth it! Needless to say we won the case and I could not be more satisfied with his services! He is a true gentleman and all around great guy. Thank you Mike!

Mike Razo

Mike was very professional throughout my case. He kept me informed and involved throughout the process. I was very confident in his abilities in court as he has a good demeanor and disposition.

Chaos turned to calm and confidence

Mr. Razo took over my case eight months ago as it waited for assets to be divided. It has been a long three plus years with what seemed to be a standoff resulting in a stand still. Not to mention stress and fear on my part. During the first meeting with him it took a drastic turn. He had thoroughly ...reviewed the case to date. (I mean reams of paperwork!) As I talked with him he didn't just listen, he heard me. He heard my fears and my questions as I looked to the future. After he listened he addressed my concerns, one at a time and explained what could be done. Granted there were some items that no one could do anything about. However, with his calm and reassuring demeanor and his wisdom, I do think beyond his years, he explained what could be done on what we had to work with. He also, is a strong communicator. I no longer had a melt down when an email came because he had called me prior to discuss it with me. He talked with me about options and choices regarding decisions that needed to be taken care of. He made me an active part the case. He often times would call in response to an email as it gave a clearer answer to my question. After spending four days in a trial and watching him skillfully present the facts and stand up for what was legally mine I was amazed. He was very organized which allowed him to keep things moving and stay on task for what needed done. He is a man of integrity. I hesitate to say he was aggressive but his calm and assured composure put him out front. But he did not let the games of the opposing party prevail. Having to go to trial was incredibly stressful, however, Mr. Razo was so quick to give encouragement, and reassured me that things were going well. While we are awaiting the judge’s decision, I am confident that Mr. Razo could not have done any better job than he did. And I believe that the judge will be able to rule justly based on the facts presented and lies revealed by Mr. Razo! I can wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for an incredible family law attorney!

Excellent

I first contacted Mr. Razo back in February 2016, and in March retained him as my attorney to help me with my divorce case. When we first talked, he explained how the process worked and answered all my questions. During the process he always answered all my questions, made sure I understood everyth...ing and kept me informed. I feel he did his best to resolve my case as quickly as possible. The office staff is very courteous and always helpful.
