I hired Mr. Bratton for my divorce. From the beginning he took the time to answer the many questions I had about the process and was extremely diligent (along with his team) to help me understand the process. I explained that I had limited funds and would like to do as much of the foot work necessary to help the divorce along. He outlined my tasks and encouraged me along the way. I was guided well and given ideas of what was in my right to ask for which empowered me. Mr. Bratton's expertise in a time of emotional chaos was needed and in turn assisted with a deal that packaged everything I asked for. I am grateful for his wisdom in his craft and encourage others to seek his counsel in a tumultuous time.

Mr. Bratton is such a great divorce attorney, he cares From our first meeting and throughout, Mr. Bratton was great at returning phone calls and he made sure I understood what was taking place during the process. Long after the divorce was finalized, he continues to be here for me by going above and beyond. I highly recommend Mr. Bratton.

We have been clients of Mike Razo since February 2024 and it was the best decision we have ever made. He was not the first lawyer that represented us in the case for custody of our daughter. We had been fighting for primary custody since 2017 and spent tens of thousands of dollars in the process. When we retained Bratton and Razo, Mike was able to do what no other lawyer had been able to do in a fraction of the time, money, and headache. We now have 80% custody and he made that happen without us having to spend thousands of dollars and months of time on psychiatric evals like the previous lawyers all told us was necessary. Every step of the process went as smoothly as a custody case could go and every opportunity the court gave us, Mike got us closer to our goals. In just four months, we were granted primary custody and after eight months, we now have permanent orders from the court granting nearly everything we had hoped for. Our daughter is now in a home where she is free to grow to her full potential. She is at school every day, on time. She has the clothes and supplies she needs to succeed, and she is no longer in positions that no eight-year-old should have to be in. We have Mike Razo to thank for that. We will forever be grateful for what he has done for our family. He showed up to every court appearance on time and ready to present our case with full confidence. He was easy to reach and quick to respond to our calls and emails. I highly recommend Bratton and Razo to anyone who is fighting for their son or daughter’s future. If you have lost nearly all hope in the family law system like we had just eight short months ago, I recommend giving Mike Razo a shot.

I had to reopen custody due to certain circumstances and Mike did a phenomenal job. He usually can predict how things will play out and is fully transparent whether things may be in your favor or not. He helped me get what was best for the children and made everything as cheap as possible. He is a lawyer you can trust and if you need someone to get you the best possible outcome, whether things look promising. Choosing a different lawyer over Mike is doing yourself a disservice.

Mr. Bratton and his office helped to make a horrible life event manageable. I doubt anyone wants to retain an attorney, but sometimes life forces that decision. In my case I was going through an unexpected divorce after 36 years of marriage and although much of the settlement issues were amicably decided upon between the parties, I still wanted the security of having an attorney handle my side of the divorce. Mr. Bratton was recommended to me by two different people whose opinions I trusted and ultimately he made the entire process as painless as possible. I highly recommend Mr. Bratton!

I found attorney Bill Bratton by reading reviews and researching as best I could family law attorneys in the Riverside county area. I am very pleased to have selected Mr. Bratton as my attorney. I previously had two prior (expensive) attorneys that didn't seem to care about my ultimate outcome and ran up expenses by requesting needless paperwork that I thought was necessary at the time, but in the end was worthless. I wish I had found the offices of Bratton, Razo & Lord earlier. I found Mr. Bratton to be honest, a man of great integrity, and someone who gives solid advice. He genuinely cares about his clients and is someone I came to have great respect for. If you are looking for a solid attorney, who can negotiate a favorable settlement for you, look no further. My ex had hired a top attorney that my previous attorneys failed to match. Mr. Bratton had the necessary skills to handle my case and the opposing counsel, and is well familiar with the court system in Riverside county. I am happy with the settlement reached and, in the time-frame, completed. If you are looking for a family law attorney, you owe it to yourself to have an initial consultation and see for yourself. Going through a divorce is not easy and is not just a matter of processing forms. Selection of your attorney is critical to the outcome and I have no hesitation in giving Mr. Bratton the highest rating. Good luck.

I hired Mr. Bratton after being referred by my sister. She was very pleased with his services so I decided to set up a consultation with him. Bill was upfront with me from the very begging. I appreciated his honesty, understanding and his attentiveness to my concerns. He was very thorough in documenting every conversation and was quick to advise me on how to handle my ex. Being a father of three young daughters, I expected to fight an uphill battle with custody. Bill fought for me and got me what I deserved...50% custody!! He was there through my entire divorce process which included division of all assets, child custody, pension and retirements. Through the 2 1/2 year process, he made sure I was prepared for all court hearings and mediation, he returned all phone calls and emails in a timely manner and he made me feel that he sincerely cared about my case. Bill is worth every penny I spent.

Bill Bratton was the perfect choice to represent me in my divorce. He was patient and thorough in explaining difficult and detailed legal processes. I never felt pressured by Bill and I felt as though he was my advocate. He was very good in setting the strategy and in negotiating with the other attorneys. Bill got a very good result for me. He is an excellent attorney and has become a good friend. I highly recommend him.

I'm not a typical reviewer, trust me when I tell you.. Bill Bratton knows the law. I tried to divorce my husband in 2018 and phoned Bill Bratton to represent me as he came highly recommended. I did eventually go back home and let Bill know that I would no longer require his services. I feared that if the day came again where I needed help, i was going to be out of luck. Almost exactly to the year, I was finally ready. Even after releasing him, he was so welcoming to me and said that he would represent me. I was elated and relieved as I knew already I would be taken care of. I needed a capable successful attorney that would be gentle with me and firm on the laws of divorce. My husband was less than cooperative and Bill presented the case in a way that defended my best interests. He fought for everything that I was entitled to without wavering. I had a bit of a messy divorce where my husband was not being too kind and Bill was always professional, direct and just an all around nice man to work with. He cared and that was a big plus for me. I cannot express how comfortable he made me feel during such a difficult time in my life. Bill was attentive and made me confident that he understood my position and was entirely sensitive to my unique situation. Anytime I needed to discuss matters, he did not hesitate to get back to me promptly. His communication and explanations of everything was impeccable and precise. He allowed me to understand exactly what was going to happen and took his time to explain all of the details to me when I didn't understand. Couldn't have asked for a better divorce attorney. If you are in need of a Lawyer to handle even the most complicated divorce, you will be in good hands!!

My case with an angry, bitter ex-husband was a difficult road. Bill Bratton helped me save my retirement when the Dissolution of Marriage document was a mess from a previous attorney. He kept me informed and was also patient with my questions. He gave me the worse-case scenario, but fortunately, we came out on top! I so appreciate Bill, his staff, and his expertise!

Danielle Linker was highly recommended to me from my former well known divorce attorney. I called and explained to her my case. I needed a strong, smart fighter in my corner as my ex-husband was trying to get full custody of our special needs son who was almost 18. We had already had a 3111 court ordered evaluation completed with orders not in the best interest of our son. Long story short Danielle went to court for me and was able convince the Judge to not go to a long trial and to keep orders as is! If you have a chance to meet with Danielle, you too will feel and know her confidence!

Best decision I made, hiring Bill to help me navigate through my custody and child support case. Bill was referred to me by my fiance'. Bill was the opposing attorney on my fiance's custody case years ago, and even then, he was impressed with Bill's expertise and professionalism. If that's not an impressive recommendation, I don't know what is. Bill and his staff were great keeping me informed of what was needed of me and were quick to respond to my questions. I felt well represented at each of my court hearings. I was very nervous beginning this legal battle, however Bill's experience and confidence put me at ease every step of the way. What was most important to me was that Bill acted in the best interest of my children. I highly recommend Bill and his staff. I referred my nephew to Bill's law firm for his custody case. I'm confident he will be well represented. I highly recommend Bill Bratton if you want the best of the best.
