I was badly hurt at work and I was lost on what to do, I didn’t know if I had a case or not. I was worried about losing my job or the cost of a lawyer consultation. BUT when I got in contact with RP law group they offered me a free consultation and Raj was patient, kind and understanding of my situation. He told me I had rights and he would fight for me and win against my employer. He did! And I am very happy with my settlement amount. All thanks to Raj and his team.
Me lastimé gravemente en el trabajo y no sabía qué hacer. No sabía si tenía un caso o no. Estaba preocupado por perder mi trabajo o por el costo de una consulta con un abogado. PERO cuando me puse en contacto con RP Law Group, me ofrecieron una consulta gratuita y Raj fue paciente, amable y comprensivo con mi situación. Me dijo que tenía derechos y que lucharía por mí y ganaría contra mi empleador. ¡Y lo hizo! Y estoy muy feliz con el monto de mi acuerdo. Todo gracias a Raj y su equipo.

Workers’ compensation is a long process. My attorney guided me People who has workers comp case needs to be patient because it takes a long time no matter what it is a bureaucratic system. The system is one sided system is written for employers my attorney guided me through this very complex system number one you will not get any treatment from any doctor in Worker’s Comp. unless you go treat on your own, the treatment you get in workers comp is very mediocre very bureaucratic and you feel like you’re not being treated. They just buy time and the time passes fast and you still not, my attorney had to struggle to get me anything and everything. It is a hard process.
I recommend RP LAW GROUP 100%
Very happy with services from RP law group if you have an injury and you feel you injured at work, make sure you take consultation. Do not try to handle it yourself.

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.

We’re so thankful for this law group. When my family was feeling stressed and confused about a legal matter, we found GGK based on many excellent reviews. The secretary was kind and professional in accepting our call and after a brief hold offered us a same day in person conference with a lawyer in their office in Riverside. Charles Kenyon met with us and treated us with kindness and respect. He listened with empathy. He has many years of experience and he was able to educate us with his legal advice and provide different perspectives. I am forever thankful to Mr Kenyon and his group and would highly recommend GGK.

I highly recommend this law firm. Especially Atty Dan Greenberg. He was so accommodating and replies to all our messages promptly even if passed office hours. He answers all our questions and explains all possibilities clearly. Easy to make appointment. And most of all they made my husband’s charges dismissed.

What can I say about Michelanne…. Omg so blessed to have met her. I met Michelanne on a fluke and we hit it off. So when my husbands ex wife came after us shortly after, I looked Michelanne up again. Ex wife was extremely high conflict due to my now husband moving on and tried everything to make our lives miserable. Michelanne came to the rescue. She navigated every turn very well & helped us so much. My husband got primary share of the kids who are now thriving and we finally settled on support issues. We could not have done all this without her. Michelanne has become a friend to us and we’re beyond grateful to her. Highly recommend! ❤️⭐️❤️⭐️

I am very grateful for my attorney Alex and his team. I was arrested abruptly and him and his team worked close with my family to review options for my release. I am grateful for his attentiveness to my case and his accessibility to me and my family. My case was a looming presence over me but thanks to his knowledge of the court system and him and his teams work, my case was dismissed.
My unfamiliarity with the legal system made a very confusing time feel very scary but having Alex and his team gave me courage and peace. Highly recommended for anyone going through a similar situation.

I called and specifically asked if they have a free consultation with a attorney and they said no I was good with that. Then they called me back and said she was wrong and they do have a free initial consultation. They gathered all my info which took almost 30 minutes and said they will have an assistant call me not a attorney. They do charge for Attorney consultation. Complete waste of time and deceptive practice!

I filed for a divorce about 20 years ago and thought I was completely divorced- come to find out I never submitted the final paperwork, so I was still married. I contacted Linda and she worked diligently in contacting the courts and submitting paperwork to be able to back track my divorce to the original date. I was so worried that it wasn't going to happen, but she kept pushing through. Because of Linda my divorce became final- she is awesome, I would highly recommend her!

This law firm did an amazing job getting me more time with my boys. Hope to be getting 50/50 soon but they definitely got me further than I was with my children and I’m thankful for them in this process. They were very reliable and always willing to answer any questions I had, Kristina was always there for me when it came to paperwork and setting appointments with my lawyer Edgar. As a team this girl made my experience a great one considering the circumstances I was under. I left court feeling relieved and hopeful for the future in my children s lives.

I've had Mr. Edgar for the past two years and he's been a great attorney. I am involved with a very tough custody battle and he's always been there for appearances fighting for my children and myself. His staff is extremely friendly and hard working. I most likely will retain him to the end. I certainly recommend him as a good family law attorney.
Protip: Best thing to do in family law battles is make it about the children and what's best for them. Refrain from fighting just to get back at the other party. Fight for what's right and good for the children. They are the one's that will ultimately lose. Be the better, honest and forthright party and it will be what's best for the children.

I hired Carla to prepare a living trust for me. She was very detailed oriented and prepared a top notch trust with many extra documents like a durable power of attorney and medical directive. Later on, I had a family legal question and she was able to decipher the document and explain what it meant. Hiring a lawyer in life is probably not the best thing to have to do in life, but it seems we will all need one eventually. I would highly recommend Carla and use her again in the future.

The best at what she doe’s. I wouldn’t want anyone else on my side. She’s not only helped me she’s helped friends of mine with excellent results. word of mouth travels and travels extremely fast. Be informed and know your options. she took very good care of me and I know she would do the same for you. I couldn’t appreciate her more.

I was referred to Mr. Grech through my divorce lawyer, after being in 15 years of relationship resulted in a big mess. He met me in person and took so much time to listen and understand me as a person. I opened up to him, told him everything that happened and I immediately knew that I could trust him from bottom of my heart. As I went through the most toughest time of my life, he treated me with courtesy and kindness, not a once I felt I was rushed or unworthy. Mr. Grech is very personable and genuine person. It was my great fortune to have him represent me. I would like to express my gratitude towards him and his support throughout my case.

Mr. Grech and Team I thoroughly recommend. There are excellent attorneys in the Riverside area, but Paul is arguably one of the best.
His team did a fantastic job for our family; they went above and beyond a transactional financial client-attorney relationship. They were professional, honest, and importantly, showed genuine interest in our family’s well-being.
I was facing child endangerment criminal charges, because of allegations by a school mandated reporter. Unfortunately, this is a parent’s worst nightmare, because these allegations can destroy careers and families.
Mr. Grech successfully persuaded the DA to dismiss the original charges in exchange for disturbing the peace infraction (PC. 415(2)) and a nominal fine. Only an attorney of his caliber (30 years+ experience) would have got this outcome.

Top Questions to Ask a Family Law Lawyer
Before hiring a family law lawyer, it's important to ask questions to ensure they're the right fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask during your consultation:
-
What experience do you have with family law cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it's a contested divorce, child custody dispute, or adoption. -
How will you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, a flat fee, or requires a retainer. Ask for an estimate of the total costs involved. -
What are the possible outcomes of my case?
An experienced lawyer should be able to give you a general idea of what to expect based on the facts of your case. -
What is your approach to resolving disputes?
Ask whether the lawyer tends to favor negotiation and mediation or whether they prefer to take cases to court. This can help you determine if their style matches your goals. -
How long do you expect my case to take?
While it’s difficult to predict, the lawyer should give you an estimate based on similar cases. -

In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may do much of the work, so make sure you understand who will be your main point of contact.
How to Check the Credibility of a Family Law Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable family law lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and reputation:
- Check state bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed to practice in your state and is in good standing with no disciplinary actions.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on websites like Avvo, Google, or Martindale-Hubbell. Previous clients can give you insight into the lawyer’s professionalism and success in family law cases.
- Request references: Ask the lawyer for references from past clients who can speak to their experience with the lawyer.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a family law lawyer, it’s important to come prepared. Here’s what you should bring:
- Relevant documents: Bring any documents related to your case, such as marriage certificates, prenuptial agreements, financial records, custody agreements, or court orders.
- List of assets and debts: For divorce cases, prepare a detailed list of all assets (e.g., homes, bank accounts, retirement funds) and debts (e.g., mortgages, loans, credit card balances).
- Details of the family issue: Provide a written summary of the situation, including key dates and facts related to your divorce, custody dispute, or support issue.
