Guardianship

We hired Mr. Razo as our attorney. We had somewhat of a complicated guardianship case. He walked us thru each step of the process so that we would be fully prepared in the event it was to go to trial. He was very professional and straight forward with us, Always kept us informed. He filed for a te...mporary custody hearing which was granted immediately with the permanent custody to follow at the next hearing. I highly recommend him.

The Best!!!!

Our attorney Michael Razo is completely amazing. He consistently goes above and beyond. I don't know what we would do without him. He's just incredible. I was trying to get guardianship of my grandson. We had been through 2 attorneys previous to finding Mr. Razo and they were as useless as they come.... After such disappointment it was difficult getting comfortable with Michael. He made it a point to make us secure in the fact that he believed in our case and that he would fight for us. Each time we stepped into the courtroom of our 14 day trial Michael fought his hardest. He won so many battles for us and finally the war. Making sure he had all sides covered. He eventually got the guardianship granted. Despite all the objections from mother and minor's council. Even a 730 in favor of the mother that he proved was total BS and got it thrown out of court. From the beginning when everyone was telling us there was no hope. Michael kicked extreme butt and turned it all around. He didn't lay down and give in like the other nitwits we had previously. Michael showed them what an attorney is supposed to do. Michael Razo is a impeccable example in his profession. We are so thankful to Michael Razo. I highly recommend him if you want someone who will fight for you.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
