Client Testimonials

• “The Raggio firm represented me in my divorce. Within a year, I asked their assistance because I was planning to get married again, so I talked to Ken Raggio about what was entailed in getting a premarital agreement done. I thought this would just be a form like a deed. Ken showed me it was likely to be much more involved. Boy, was he right! There were lots of documents that I had to produce and lots of drafts of agreements went back and forth, and it wasn’t a fun time to go through. But Ken kept me apprised of information and the law that I needed to have to make the decisions I needed to make, and my now spouse and I successfully executed the premarital agreement and now months later, we are the happy parents of a bouncing baby girl.” “I appreciate Ken keeping me focused on both my and future spouse’s essential interests and realizing there was another party with interests, and his skill and advice led to the successful negotiation and execution of the agreement that both my spouse and I abide by to this day.” SJ  
• “I consulted with Ken Raggio and the others at Raggio & Raggio and hired them to file a divorce for me. Years earlier I had previously filed for divorce with another lawyer, but eventually dismissed it. Ken was so much more thorough in telling me what I needed to know, and was firm in keeping me focused on the things that he said I needed to be focused on. I’m sure he got mad at me on more than one occasion!” “Anyway, my big complaint was the lack of transparency and financial sharing with my spouse. As soon as the divorce was filed, Ken got all the financial information that previously I really only suspected existed and found it very comforting when Ken got it. My spouse asked me to reconcile and we put off the temporary hearing for which Ken had prepared me for fully and completely, to give our reconciliation a chance. Don’t know if my spouse and I will make it; as Ken says the founding fathers said, “pursuit of happiness,” not “guarantee of happiness.” But Ken helped get to the place where I feel better about my marriage and situation than I have for years.” KS
• Dear Ken, I’d like to thank you for doing such a good job and for the long hours you put in. I know you worked hard and got me an incredibly good result. You obviously have a vast knowledge of the law and used it in my favor. You cut through my husband’s manipulations; and he is an excellent manipulator. He is also very smart and you outsmarted him many times. In addition, he is a good negotiator and it was nice to see you out negotiate him both before and during the mediation. Thank you for avoiding the expense and stress of having to take this to court. Ken, you were never intimidated by a very intimidating person, and, in fact, you managed to intimidate him. I appreciate that you kept me informed by answering my phone calls and emails in a timely manner. I also appreciate how good you were at taking care of the huge number of details and how thorough you were. You included in the settlement many very important issues that I would never have thought of. You are clearly very experienced, and I took special note of the fact that you knew the other lawyers, the mediator, and the judge. Thank you for everything you have done. I wish you and your family good holidays.  WS
• “My wife and I had a long term relationship (but a very short marriage) before I found her twice with another man. We separated, we had limited community property, we agreed on an easy deal. One of Raggio & Raggio’s prior clients referred me to them. They prepared simple divorce papers including an Agreed Decree of Divorce and a name change document for my wife, and got the petition filed. “I presented the papers to my wife, expecting her readily agree and to sign them. Raggio & Raggio had given me specific instructions on how to get the Divorce Decree signed by the Judge myself, as I thought this was a very simple deal. “Well, guess what. My wife wouldn’t sign the papers. She hired a lawyer. Her lawyer sent me discovery. So I again hired Raggio & Raggio to represent me in what was now a contested case likely to go on for a while. But Ken Raggio took decisive steps to quickly arrange for a meeting with my wife and her attorney. I took all my documents to this settlement conference and we were able to resolve the differences. Ken then made a few changes required to update the Decree, and we went to court and we got the divorce finalized within a week of my wife hiring her attorney. It is clear that it was Ken’s experience that allowed me to quickly resolve the situation, instead of letting the discovery process and court procedures - and court expenses - envelop us. This saved both me and my spouse a lot of money and got us on our way to our new lives much quicker. I am grateful to Raggio & Raggio.” MT
• "Unfortunately my partner in a committed same sex relationship announced it was over. I was referred to Raggio & Raggio by my boss's lawyer and I hired them. They helped navigate through the minefield of issues dealing with the uncoupling of a long term relationship, as property and some other issues are determined under partnership law and not by the Family Code like recognized marriages in Texas. We had to dissolve a company. We had to deal with coownership of vehicles, real estate, and significant debt. I am grateful for the guidance, legal advice, and steady hand that they gave to me leading to the agreed resolution of matters at the termination of our relationship" EF
