Michael Razo

I really appreciate everything Mr. Razo and his team did for me. It was too stressful not knowing what's going to happen. Mr. Razo explained to me what to expect and what the likely outcome would be regarding my case. Throughout the whole process he was very helpful, intelligent and patient. He alwa...ys responded promptly to my phone calls and emails. Thanks a lot Mr. Razo, for your hard work, emotional support and professional guidance. I'm happy with the outcome of my case and I'm so glad I didn't have to see a courtroom. Mr. Razo is a competent and experienced attorney and the office staff is polite and caring. Highly recommend this team.

Skilled negotiator

Michael was able to secure a settlement that was completely unexpected and surprising. My case went to trial and Michael prepared me for the best and worst case but to managed my expectations. Unbelievably, he negotiated more than expected and infuriated me ex which told me everything about my case. ...I think even the judge was surprised. I could not be happier after 3 1/2 long years.

Great, Professional Representation

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.

Accessible, professional, and got the best outcome!

Michael Razo did an amazing job in helping us get great results with our case. He was very accessible, friendly, and professional. He gave great advice and was of extreme help. He walks you through everything. He was considerate, honest, responsive and kind. I got the results I was hoping for and cou...ldn’t be happier with the outcome of a unfortunate situation. Razo even recommended me to a great property lawyer. My husband and I are both very grateful for our experience with Mr. Razo and recommend him to anyone who is seeking aid.
