My review of my hired attorney Michael Razo in the divorce case .

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.

Honest, sharp, and efficient

I went to Mike Razo after I was threatened by my ex wife's attorney, and Mike instantly assured me of my rights. Mike was honest about costs and what we could reasonably expect to accomplish in court. He never lied to me or attempted to nickel and dime me, which previous lawyers had done until I coul...d no longer sustain my efforts in court. Mike collaborated with me and guided me in my efforts to protect my child, and the result were better than I could have reasonably expected. I received full custody of my son after a 12 year battle with unreasonable opposition. I am not a fan of lawyers, and I was not overly anxious to seek out legal assistance due to a few past experiences that had left a bad taste in my mouth. I am happy to inform anyone seeking legal assistance that Mike is indeed the exception to that rule. Mike did his research, he took the time and he put in the effort. He didn't attempt to paint an overly optimistic picture and unwittingly lead me down the primrose path. He spoke to me openly and honestly about the good and the bad that might happen regarding each and every action I endorsed. He was readily available when I had questions or concerns, and I undoubtedly spoke more with him directly than I did with any legal assistant or secretary. Mike Razo has easily accomplished more in the past two months than any lawyer had previously accomplished for me in the past 12 years. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is having significant problems regarding divorce and child custody. Believe my words, seek Mike out, and you won't have to wait 12 years to have matters resolved like I did.

Trustworthy, Knowledgeable, Confident & Victorious. Michael Razo is the best!!

I am very pleased and impressed with the service I received from this firm and particularly my amazing attorney Michael Razo!! He was so prepared during the trial that he put opposing counsel to shame. He walked me through every question beforehand so that I went into court confident, relaxed and pre...pared. I always felt informed and part of the process. Mr. Razo helped me feel strong during one of the most difficult times of my life. It was evident that he truly cared about my case. His completion of written discovery before the trial was so thorough that he left no stone unturned. I almost felt bad for my ex with all of the information Mr Razo gathered. Mr. Razo did not make any promises he couldn’t deliver yet he was still able to totally exceed all of my expectations. My spousal support was permanently ordered and significantly raised from the temporary order. My child support also increased from the temporary order. In addition, I was awarded all of my attorney fees to be paid for by my ex husband. Somehow with all of this success my overall fees were still only ⅓ of what my ex husband’s attorney had charged him. The final judgement was 100% in my favor. Hiring Michael Razo was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I can’t recommend him enough.

Excellent care and advice!

Mr Razo was wonderful to work with and made it as painless as possible. He helped me to see all possible scenarios both short and long term and help me come up with the bakers solution for my kids and I. I had heard that many lawyers drag the process out to stack their fees, but Mr Razo was not lik...e that at all. I would highly recommend using him!!!

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.
