The Piece of mind is priceless

Bill and his team were amazing during my time with them as a client in family law court. My case has been ongoing and arduous for six long years, two attorneys, 13 continuances and endless court dates. When Bill came on board to assist me, he was firm but fair, friendly but not friends, and always, h...is utmost professional self. He was honest and direct with me, always keeping my child at the forefront of why we were returning to family law court time and time again. The staff was always pleasant, knew me as well as my case by name if I called with questions and very extremely organized. I have had other representation, where my case was just a number, and I was billed for other clients minutes, an error on the staff's account. Bill guided me with realistic expectations and walked through the tenuous and particular difficult logistics of my case with ease and confidence, that in turn put my mind at ease (as much as possible in these instances). I was referred to Bill by another professional in the field, and two layers later in a tense, high conflict custody situation, I was able to breathe easy (ier) knowing that Bill did care about what was best for my child. In my initial consultation, he was very up front and honest about the expectations of the case, based on the history, and where we could expect to end up. Along the way he always encouraged me to try and find resolution with my ex husband any chance possible, because that is what is best for our child. Bill and his team were always available to answer my questions, and even when Bill took a vacation, his partner counsel answered my call, familiarized himself with the case and stepped in for advice and counsel. I cannot begin to say enough about this team, because I have paid money to be poorly represented and now understand what good representation looks like. The Bratton Firm on every level represented client compassion, while remaining realistic, honest and gave expectations that could be counted on. There was no grand standing, just confidence in knowing the ins and outs of my personal case, understanding the law and representing me in a professional manner. I cannot say thank you enough, and hopefully will not need to, but will go back to Bill and his team, should the need arise.

The BEST to represent you!!!!

Looking for a competent trustworthy lawyer (yes, they do exist), then you need to call Bratton & Bratton. Bill Bratton first represented me in 2003. He explained each step as I walked through it which made me feel comfortable about the whole divorce process. I always felt he was on my side. In the en...d I received everything I was asking for and more. Last year when my ex-husband of 22 years didn't want to pay alimony any longer I had to rehire Mr Bratton. Once again, I received exactly what I wanted and my ex lost. Here I am again less than one year later and my ex just stopped paying alimony. Mr Bratton, even though he was no longer under retainer, answered my phone calls, gave me some advice how to handle the situation. He is fair, kind and VERY knowledgeable of Family Law. I have had a couple of friends also use him and they had the same result as I did. Divorce is not a fun thing to go though but I am so thankful I had Bill Bratton on my side!

Dedicated, hardworking, dependable and honest

During my time of hopelessness, Bill guided me every step of the process. He never gave up and was so patient with me. My divorce was a courtroom nightmare and because of his knowledge and experience with the system, I was able to come out of it with the best possible outcome. Throughout this ordeal..., Bill always had my children's best interest at heart and I will always be indebted to him for that.

Look no further, You just found your Attorney

I would like to thank Bill Bratton, his wife Pam and their amazing staff. They have been extremely professional and supportive to me for the last 3 1/2 years and Bill continues to be my attorney to this day. Bill has always looked out for the best interest for me and my son. If Bill is your attorney ...be reassured he will always have your back. Bill and his staff have gone above and beyond for me. One of the things I liked about Bill is he always asked for honesty. Bill has guided me through a long trial, divorce, child support, and child custody. He is the best in all these fields in Riverside. In my consultation with Bill he explained to me what I can expect to happen and he was honest and knowledgeable with his facts. Since I started this process everything Bill has told me has been the truth. I would recommend Bill Bratton to anyone going through the family law courts. Look no further, you have found the best in Bill Bratton.

The only phone call you need to make!

Mr. Bratton was recommended to us by a family friend. My mother and I came to him in 2008 for my divorce and custody arrangements. He treated all parties involved with respect. It was a very scary time and both Mr. Bratton and his staff were patient and supportive. He went above and beyond to protect... me and my rights. My divorce took about 4 years to finalize and Mr. Bratton continues to be available for advisement. I highly recommend Mr. Bratton. He will be the only phone call you need to make.
