Mr. Bratton knows how to handle an acrimonious case

My ex had decided to use our child as a weapon to punish me and was systematically denying the court-ordered visitation schedule. Mr. Bratton listened to me, outlined what could be done, and he used his many years of experience with the courts to stop her claim to reduce visitation so she could get ...more child support. He worked hard to make sure he called me back, communicated what I should do to help myself, and made sure that my best case was presented to stop the madness. Mr. Bratton was better prepared than opposing counsel, had all of the right answers and the right paperwork to back my side. Because of my ex, I had to call on Mr. Bratton three times for separate and different attempts to harass me and try to keep me from seeing my child over 3 years, but each time I was very satisfied with Mr. Bratton's efforts, his explanations about the process, and the outcomes. He was able to get the court to uphold my rights and preserve visitation. I would recommend him highly if you need an attorney, if you are having problems with your family law case, or if you are concerned that your ex is using your child to hurt you --Mr. Bratton will have your back.

Amazing Attorney

I was involved in a very lengthy and horrible custody battle with my Ex wife. I retained Mr. Bratton after a terrible experience with my first attorney. Mr. Bratton was very professional and represented me in a spectacular fashion. For those of you who've gone through this experience you know how str...essful it is. He was always there to talk me down, give me sound advice and keep me on track. The best part of all was that by the end of it all I was awarded primary custody of my children. I constantly recommend him to anyone that is preparing to go to family court.

Divorce or legal separation is serious hire the best, Mr. Bratton

Mr. Bratton helped me get through a legal separation and ultimately divorce. I had special circumstances surrounding my divorce and unfortunately it took 4 years to finalize. This was only due to the other party and my life circumstances. Mr. Bratton was professional and always responded to my emails... with a return email and or personal phone call in a very timely matter. He explained legal wording in layman's terms. He never dictated what to do yet gave choices and explained the outcome to me. I would highly recommend him as a divorce attorney. I was very fortunate to found him from a friend who is a divorce attorney. I asked my friend "who would you use if you wanted the best in Riverside?" She said, "Bill Bratton". She was right. Mr. Bratton and his entire office were very kind, professional and compassionate. Anyone going through a legal separation or divorce knows how difficult of a time it can be. If I can give you one piece of advice, that would be to listen to him and take his advice. I made the mistake of initially doing it my way and ultimately that cost me time and money. I should have listened to him from the start. Trust him, he knows his job and try to leave the emotions out of it.

I Highly Recommend Bill Bratton for Matters of Family Law

Bill Bratton was recommended to me to assist in my divorce by a friend who also was very pleased with his services. I hired Mr. Bratton to represent me in my divorce. He did an excellent job explaining the process, time line, cost, and probable outcome. He kept the file moving and was timely i...n filing, negotiating and responding to my questions and requests. He told me that he was not interested in "running up my bill" but rather in getting the job done in a timely manner and the most cost effective manner possible. He recommended other attorneys that my then former spouse could consult that were easy to work with and also that were like minded in getting the job done and in not charging exorbitant fees. Mr. Bratton told me that my divorce would probably take between nine months and 18 months. It took 15 months. The final bill was reasonable. Mr. Bratton negotiated a fair division of assets and a reasonable alimony settlement. I was very satisfied and would highly recommend his services in family law matters.

Excellent Attorney

I hired Mr. Bratton in 2015 to assist me with my divorce/child custody/child support case. I was very pleased with Mr. Bratton and all his colleagues/staff. Mr. Bratton was honest, professional, and kind. He took the time to get to know me, my situation and my case. Mr. Bratton or someone from his of...fice was always avaliable to answer question or concerns. Mr. Bratton is extremely knowledgeable and helped me get through a difficult time with as little damage as possible. Mr. Bratton has the best interest of his clients at heart. I would definitely recommend Mr. Bratton.
