Look no further!

William (Bill) is & has been simply ourstandjng in every way. Bill helped me regain everything that I had lost by using other attorneys (5 in as many years). It wasn't until I found Bill Bratton that things began to improve - and in a big way! His professionalism along with his compassion and intuiti...on for people and situations makes each step of an agonizing situstion ALMOST enjoyable. He ia a true advocate for you when speaking on your own behalf is absolutely a bad idea. I'd hate to imagine what life would be like today had I not had Mr. Bratton & his office on my side.

alimony review

Bill was very professional and gave me detailed information on how alimony was determined and that at this time do to my enhanced finical situation it would be unwise to pursue any action in regards to taking my ex back to court to try to have my alimony payment reduced.

I hired an attorney...but I found a friend

Please let me first and foremost state that this is a review that I take very seriously and personally. It is my desire to relay my personal experience with the most authentic, genuine and heartfelt expression possible. Finding myself in a place of watching life as I knew it for myself and my three ...young boys, literally fall apart was one that I never dreamed I would ever have to face or endure. I met with many attorneys. I trusted my instinct and feelings as best I could as I tried to unpack a very messy and destructive situation filled with confusion, fear, hurt, loss, and uncertainty. I had three small boys to consider and I was committed to fighting for each of us. For this reason, it was critical for me to choose wisely in seeking representation. I met with many and none were resonating with me. I had no peace. Mr. Bratton came highly recommended to me. When I met with Mr. Bratton, I instantly knew that he was who we needed. I needed to know that the best interest of my boys and myself I were going to be guarded and protected. Mr. Bratton is not the average, stereotypical lawyer. He is a man of character, dignity, strength, diligence, resolve, confidence, perseverance, humility and humor. He made me feel safe, secure and content even in moments when all I could bring to the table were feelings of fear uncertainty and brokenness. He lifted me up when I felt low. He encouraged when I couldn't see the hope before me on my own. He made me feel that my boys and I were valuable and worth fighting for. He was very much a voice of reason, compassion and sensitivity too. Being in place of vulnerability and confusion there is the potential to be taken advantage of quite easily. Mr. Bratton and his entire staff provided care, concern, and stability for myself and my boys in circumstances that stirred fear and uncertainty. He provided sharp representation with a fierce diligence to protect and serve us ethically and professionally. He was firm, kind, patient and fearless in pursuing our best interests. I can honestly say that he is man who in his representation, has exceeded my expectations by far. As he walked every step with me I always knew I was guarded and secure. I was consistently amazed at how he made bearable, the most painful thing my boys and I had experienced in our lives. As I imagine the upcoming resolution in my divorce, I see the process almost finished and I'm thankful for the peace it will bring. I will miss the contact and confidence I have grown fondly of in having found someone to stand in the gap for me and my boys. However, I am also saddened, because I will miss the friend I have gained. Hard times come and I have learned that there are gifts woven in between the rough edges they bring. I have lived and learned that I may have hired an attorney, but from the deepest part of my heart, I have found a friend. I will be forever thankful for his representation and friendship.

For the Mr. Bratton

For the last seventeen years, Bill Bratton have been my indispensable lawyer that have helped me navigate the maze of the California family court system, his honesty and knowledge of the system provided me with the crucial informations and insights so I could make the best decisions for myself and my... children. In spite of being transfer out of state, Bill did not skip a beat. He help me with all of the standard divorce issues such as out of state visitations, child support and other thorny issues. I highly recommend him for a Family Court lawyer

Surviving my divorce!!

I actually was referred to Mr. Bratton by one of my ex-husbands friends/co-worker. Mr. Bratton handled my divorce for me. I had been married for just shy of 25 years and I knew I needed some help. My ex wanted to "handle" it ourselves but I knew all that would happen would that I would be bullied int...o doing everything his way and NOT fairly. Mr. Bratton and his staff provided me with awesome service and were never bothered by my questions and always helped me to understand all the proceedings. I was very comforting to know I had someone in my corner looking out for my best interests. I will forever be grateful to Mr. Bratton and his team!!!
