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.

In December of 2017 I found myself in need of an attorney to help me gain visitation of my two grandsons. On the recommendation of my previous divorce attorney (who no longer practices family law) I went to Bratton, Razo, & Lord. After a consultation my case was taken by Mike Razo. Mr. Razo has a very professional and calm demeanor; don’t let this fool you, he’s there to win. When our case finally went to trial Mr. Razo was incredibly well prepared and focused. One of the things that I appreciated was that Mr. Razo doesn’t get involved in personal character assassination and unnecessary drama. He fought my case with the facts and the law. The office staff at BRL is always friendly and professional. My e-mails and phone calls were always promptly answered. These things are so valuable when you’re in the middle of an emotional and difficult time. My case was complicated and a difficult win. I’m so glad that I put my trust in Bratton, Razo, & Lord and my entire family is eternally grateful for the hard work and dedication to this case.

I found Mr. Bratton's legal advice timely and accurate. He has an easy way, even when his advice is difficult to hear. His thorough review of the facts and his approach to conflict resolution gave me the best settlement. I highly recommend Mr. Bratton.

Mr. Razo recently provided excellent representation for a custody/visitation case. He was very thorough, detailed, attentive and professional. Very responsive during my case and provided frequent updates and was always open to answering my questions. He was always very organized and very familiar with the details of my case. I am very protective of my children and I felt like he truly cared about what was best for them and fought for them. He brought many things to my attention that I wouldn’t have otherwise thought of and made sure that I was thoroughly prepared for mediation and court.

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 felt confident Bill would do a good job because I was referred to him by a deputy DA. Well, he and his team did an awesome job! Bill doesn’t waste time and spoke frankly and clearly helping me understand how to navigate a very complex and difficult negotiation with my spouse. Our settlement was unusual and unique but Bill understood my situation (because he LISTENS) and went the extra mile to make sure I was protected and achieved the end goal. Special thanks to Juanita for all her hard work, patience, and kindness.

They know what they are doing

Mr. Razo was very professional and helpful from the start at my consultation to the end when my divorce was finalized. He and his staff always got back to me in a timely manner. They were very professional and thorough through the entire process and answered all of my questions. They were there for me every step along the way during the entire divorce process which is not a fun thing to go through. I would highly recommend Mr. Razo and his team.

Danielle is an amazing attorney to have on your side! Custody battles are long and stressful but Danielle made it as painless as it could be. She, along with her team, were easy to communicate with. When I had any questions or worries, they were prompt to address it and help ease my nerves. She’s straight forward and was honest about having realistic expectations that benefitted our son’s best interest. Danielle not only provided a strategic game plan that delivered results but also helped prep me before mediation and every court session to map out our approach. She made me feel prepared and ready for whatever that could arise. More so, Danielle is quick on her feet which plays a huge factor in court. She’s not like other firms that aren’t prepared for their cases or don’t care to remember details about their cases. She was knowledgeable about my case and knew exactly what to say to defend me when the opposing counsel was not being truthful or provided false information. Danielle’s amazing team of experienced attorneys and paralegals deserve recognition too! They were on top of everything! I interviewed and met with over a handful of firms but ultimately decided on Danielle because she was honest and personable. I’m beyond happy with Danielle's services. Custody battles that end up on court are usually with partners who have been too difficult to work with outside of court. You want to make sure you put in your all if you decide to go into ligation to accomplish anything. That’s where Danielle surpasses expectations, she managed to help me win the case and finally get the custody I’ve been unsuccessfully been fighting for all these years until now. Needless to say, I highly recommend Danielle and her team to anyone in need of a family attorney!
