Outstanding Attorney

Bill Bratton and his firm helped me reach a favorable settlement in my divorce case in Riverside County. All the major issues were negotiated and worked out fairly. Bill helped make the whole process simple, understandable, as stress-free as possible. I definitely highly recommend Bill Bratton!

Best results

Bill Bratton and his legal team of professionals has been absolutely outstanding and couldn’t receive a higher recommendation from me. His office is professional, clean, comfortable, and private in both his office and conference rooms. The Bratton and Bratton law office is conveniently located in Dow...ntown Riverside. Parking is easy and within walking distance to Family Law Court, Riverside. His team is knowledgeable, always courteous, and friendly. With the unfortunate dissolution of my marriage in 2014, Bill was there every step of the way to council and represent me. His communication skills both in person and on paper are excellent, and his ability to be fair and informative in the process is second to none. He’s very thorough. He has many years of experience in the Family Law arena, is very knowledgeable, and has the confidence I depended on to get the desired results. I was very pleased with the outcome. I rehired Bill Bratton and his team again for my custody hearings in 2016. His team is absolutely fantastic. They are very personable, professional, and timely with all requests. Bill, as he did before, continued to use his great negation skills, strong analytical and advocacy skills, his high level of commitment to my case, and understood my objectives for custody. Once again I received the results I wanted and was given equal time share of my child. There’s lots of choices out there for representation, but if you’re looking for the best, Bratton & Bratton is the answer. I have witnessed Bill’s ability to stay poised, think fast, be sharp, and be aggressive when needed in the courtroom. From my observation, these are traits not characteristic of all attorneys. If your loved ones mean something to you, your financial position is important, and you seek a fair and just outcome than Bill and the associates of Bratton and Bratton are the team to hire to get the results you’re looking for.

Started as DEAD BEAT DAD, ended up with Custody

I have been using Bill Bratton for 4 years now in Family Law during my divorce, we have been through everything from child custody issues, income determination issues since my ex was self-employed (with the adjoining business evaluation), and the return of property as well as the division of property.... I am not proud to say it was really bad, really a mess, and really started out one-sided and unfair. Bill has a level of strategy and patience that was hard to trust at first because we want to fix stuff that’s unfair RIGHT AWAY!? Right?! You need to trust Bill Bratton and trust the process, as difficult as this sounds, the Family Law Court seems stacked against guys when it comes to Child Custody and Spousal Support. I left my wife on July 9th, 2012, and started out with another attorney in 2013 on a referral from a friend. If my case had been anything like easy, normal, amicable, or negotiated, I would not have EVER met Bill Bratton, and would have negotiated a 50/50 split and shared custody settlement with my Ex, but my Ex was greedy, awful, and 'mean' about the entire mess, and refused to cooperate and refused to even let me see my own kids, even on Father’s Day with a court-approved Supervisor, it was really crazy because my ex had worked in setting up and running a self-employed business doing bookkeeping, accounting, taxes, payroll, and claimed ZERO income. When child support and spousal support garnishment came, I was immediately at 50% wage garnishment, WHICH WAS NOT ENOUGH, so from DAY 1 there I was a “Dead Beat Dad” even though my ex was lying about her income and “cooking the books”. I had to switch Attorney’s to Bill Bratton on good Family Law advice, when everything was stacking up against me. For 27 months my ex carried out misrepresentations to the court of her income and her expenses, ‘lived in’ or ‘withheld’ our home without making ANY payments, and had a free new truck to drive while I made those payments, too. Bill Bratton is methodical, strategic, deliberate and gauged. While I was almost in panic mode, Bill kept me calm and stayed on his strategy. Eventually, everything turned around, one thing right after another, including having my Ex ‘Fined’ by the court $1250 for ‘contempt of court/ failure to comply’. Today I have custody, and our 2 youngest daughters live with me, I pay no child or spousal support, and my Ex has remarried and moved to New Mexico. Our property settlement was accurate and legitimate. My advice: beware of pipe-dream attorneys who push clients to do anything, say anything, accuse others of anything just to ‘get a leg up on’ them in court, or, promise ridiculous unjust rewards for playing dirty, that’s the type of attorney my Ex had. I have Bill Bratton, and am blessed that I do! After Divorce settlement 11 months later my Ex 'Rehired' her attorney to try and get one-sided visitation and vacation scheduled since she moved to New Mexico, and attempt to alter provisions of the Original Settlement (even though the ink had just dried!)

Highly Recommend

I had the pleasure working with Bill on my spousal support case. Bill is very thorough and knowledgeable. His many years of practicing Family Law definitely helped me during this trying time. He is well respected among his peers and handles himself in a confident, professional manner in court. The re...sults of my case were very favorable thanks to Bill. I would highly recommend Bill to those confronting Family Law matters.
