Richard G Prantil

the other reviews are most definitely false reviews. he is the worst choice. took our money and did nothing. missed court dates, doesn’t return calls, we had to write up all of our own paperwork. very disappointed to say the least. we had to fire him after a year and a half of not getting into court because of his errors.

Mr. Prantil is an extremely knowledgable attorney and a highly respected figure in the courtroom among his peers. He is trustworthy and very thorough, but more importantly, he is a HUGE child advocate. His sense of humor and smile helped ease the stress and tension I felt while preparing for my day in Family court. I highly recommend you give Mr. Prantil a call.

Where do I begin? You will do 99.9% of the work that you hired him to do. If the other party has an attorney, he will run away with his tail in between his legs. Not only will he run away, but he will also call the other parties attorney to work out a stipulation behind your back. He will butter you up with his arrogance and overconfidence before your court date, but none of that is present on the actual day of court when it is needed most. He is unprofessional and a liar. Please do yourself a favor and avoid this scumbag. We trusted him hoping he would ultimately give my son a better chance in his younger years and he didn’t even try. DO NOT place your future in his hands. You are better representing yourself in court!

MR. PRANTIL is nothing short of a genius when it comes to law. He has been a huge asset to my family in getting us a favorable outcome to a custody case. He does what is best for the child/​children in matters of child custody. He walked us through everything, explained everything with a kind heart and wonderful sense of humor. His prices are reasonable and has never nickel and dimed us. We still have a relationship with him for the past several years as he is detrimental to our life. He’s always followed through with his word. It’s not easy to trust anyone these days, lawyers don’t have a good reputation and I am glad we found a lawyer we can trust.

Richard prantil is one of the best lawyers I have ever had or met! And believe me with a dead beat ex-​husband I’ve had a lot of attorneys and this lawyer has made it happen! He got me a 58,000 settlement. He’s very easy to talk to you he’s very understanding he returns my calls promptly returned my emails in timely manner. I would highly recommend him in your family law case. I think what he charges for is Fair for any well seasoned attorney. but I know I made the right choice with Mr. Pranti!
Highly recommended

Truly the WORST lawyer I’ve ever met. As stated in another review he will NOT return phone calls or emails, but will MASSIVELY over charged for routine filings. I do plan on filing a complaint with the CA bar, and his conduct appears to me to be in line with his previous disciplinary action for Financial misconduct, and subsequent suspension from practicing Law.
I feel it would’ve been thousands of dollars cheaper, and more efficiently completed had I asked any Freeway Exit sign holder to go to the self-​help Law Library to file the divorce papers.
Oh…there was not a contested item… we went to the lawyer together… so Mr. Law Wizard had next to no paperwork to file.
You could do 1000% better by picking any lawyer on a bus stop bench seat advertisement…

I met and hired this man 3 yrs ago. I have really got to see his character in action. This man is a happy family man, professional, a child advocate who’s morals and values are HONESTY, INTEGRITY and doing the right thing. He’s a hands on active parent and husband to wife for over 25 years. He’s a San Diego native. I found him through a friend who hired him and he has helped our entire family through custody, family issues in reference to: a relatives trust, and has made a sometimes hopeless situation livable and given us hope without screwing us financially. His professionalism is combined with a warm, approachable manner is disarming and comforting– gives me secure trust he has my back 1000%.we have 2 current cases, he is our lawyer and I’m so grateful to have found him. We are so grateful.
