Stephen M Rios

Steve has been my family Lawyer since 2011, he has been nothing but patient and determined to help me with my child custody case. He has always available to answer all my questions, calm me down and keep me in line on what’s best for my child. With any family law case it can get really heated and off tract on what’s best for the child, he was always organized and ready for what ever was being thrown at him. He was a straight shooter and wouldn’t candy coat what could and couldn’t happen. Also his office staff is amazing. Tiana not only was kind but she was so fast at getting things done.
I would recommend Steve to anyone (and I have)

Steve, you are nothing but the best attorney in the state of California. I had the longest drug out divorce in the history of California. I can’t tell you how much Steve was on top of everything with the courts, the law and being a personal friend throughout the whole ordeal. I had a crazy divorce and while there were times I thought this would never end, Steve had it handled every time. Steve tells it like it is and doesn’t sugar coat anything. Any time I called he would respond. He is passionate about what he does. I wish every person was like this man. He’s truthful, respectable and the bottom line is that he is about the rights of the child! Which is exactly as it should be. He never came to court unprepared. Unfortunately the other party did and there was tons of postponements but never due to Steve being not ready. I felt like in the courtroom when vicious testimony was being slung, he kept his cool, calm demeanor and the cross examination put the party on the stand to shame. Literally the best — best attorney in the state of California.
Our friendship has remained in the last 15 years. I ping him every once in a while just to remind him that I love him as a person and am eternally grateful for what he did in my life. I am so happy he has come into my life and my daughter’s.
If you need an attorney that will do justice when you feel it is not being served — serve up Steve as your attorney and you will be WINNING! :-)

Stephen came highly recommended to me from a friend. Attorney Rios completely exceeded my expectations. He is a straight shooter that informed me of my rights and did not over promise results to obtain my business. Based on the overall flow of the case, he completely overdelivered. There were some tough negotiations conducted with the DA and DMV on my behalf. I can tell that he genuinely cares about his clients. He is also very reasonable with his fees and stated he would work with me based on my financial situation. I highly suggest anyone needing legal advice to contact Attorney Rios as soon as possible.

Attorney Rios is not only a skilled attorney with years of experience, but he sincerely cares about you as his client as well as your outcome. He provided me with the best legal advice and gave 110% into my case. He fought for the best outcome for me and was successful.
Attorney Rios also took the time (his own time) to suggest and recommend resources to help me overcome a traumatic event which benefited me tremendously. I will always be grateful for this.
I was very impressed when while in court for my hearing, the judge asked Attorney Rios (out of many other attorneys who were also present in the courtroom) to help and advise a woman who was representing herself. It showed the respect the judge has for Mr. Rios’ knowledge and expertise.
I highly recommend Stephen Rios and have already recommended one of my friends to him who also agrees with me and trusts him completely.

I have recently met Mr. Rios but from what I have learned and what I could tell about him when we spoke, he is definitely upholding his family’s reputation of superior community service. He is experienced, knowledgeable, and passionate about his business. He is able to be effective, but at the same time be kind and generous with his clients. I recommend his services highly.

Stephen Rios is a very good attorney. he took my case and managed to get my misdemeanor conviction dismissed. After the dismissal he congratulated me and said he was happy about the outcome and and that I deserved the dismissal. He’s a very good lawyer, and a good man who is passionate about what he does, and very much cares about his client’s outcome. I highly recommend him !

Attorney Rios has been generous with his time while working with us to get through a difficult situation in criminal court. He has returned all phone calls, walked us through the meaning of the complaint process, stayed after court dates to make sure we had a clear understanding of the court orders and financial obligations, negotiated upfront with the court for reduced consequences and then followed up with phone calls reminding us of due dates and compliance requirements. His experience and professional contacts are a huge bonus navigating through the courts — I think he knows just about everyone which really helped prevent additional court dates. His office staff is just as thoughtful and caring, always forwarding messages to Mr. Rios and communicating any additional information needed. We recommend Stephen Rios and feel so lucky to have his representation as he continues to finish up this incident.

Great Attorney, he has helped me over the years with my Family Law Case. He has fought for my rights as a Father. Thank You for always giving me the right advice and options to protect my daughter.

I highly recommend this lawyer! Attorney Rios was referred to me by two people whom he represented. All we’re family court, Attorney Rios and his staff have shown us nothing but first class representation. He comes to court prepared and defiantly showed his experience in the court room. His assistant Tiana is pleasant, professional and always return my phones calls within that day or first thing the next morning. She always goes the extra mile to accommodate us when we needed to provide doc, etc. Attorney Rios is very reasonable and never made me feel like he was more interested in the money than helping me. I was very fortunate to have been recommended to Attorney Rios and I will return the favor and highly recommend his services to my family and friends.

Steve Rios Has been my Attorney for over 16 years. He has helped me with personal and business issues. He works hard and knows the Orange County Court System. David

This man is out for your money only… Charged me $ 700 for 1 hour of useless information. Then had the gall to write me a letter hoping my relationship with my ex will work out. That is the farthest thing on my wish list. I am so glad I didn’t use him to represent me. He’s old and pompous and very over priced. He’s probably thinking about golf while he talks to you. My advice. Find a woman lawyer if you are a woman going through a divorce. This guy brought in too many personal references of his own childhood experiences with divorce that I should have stopped him in his tracks. I didn’t know I would have to pay him to hear his life stories. What a JOKE!!!
