Law Office of Stephen M. Rios 32302 Camino Capistrano, San Juan Capistrano, CA 92675

"First you WON'T find a better attorney than Stephen M. Rios! He is well respected in his field. He is thorough and will get the job done with complete and utter satisfaction. I went through such a very nasty 5 year divorce, that it wasn't even fun or funny. On the brink of many nervous breakdowns throughout this process, Steve was nothing but professional and supportive. Steve explained things that he would was going to do to counter the complaints, false accusations, and led me through the process that I felt confident I was in good hands. When I was on the witness stand he made my case rock solid. He was always there for me and will be for you too. I've seen how other attorneys approached him. Like I said, he is well-respected in his field. I believe after watching him in action that other attorneys knew they had their work cut out for them. He knows the law and he is there to help his clients. Even today I can count on Steve for a bit of advice and he is always there to assist. I am blessed that I met Steve and that he will forever be in our lives (my daughter and I). Even at the age of 10 through 15 my daughter recognized too how valuable Steve was in helping her. I wanted to get a court appointed attorney for her since she wasn't being heard. She had a medical condition that her father was prohibiting her from getting her medication and it was destroying her ability to function and get a good education. Through Steve’s help we got a court appointed psychiatrist to evaluate her and make a decision that helped her in her life. Without this intervention she would have had so many struggles and she was a gifted and sweet child. Through the process Steve made the case clear through evidence and the law that helped secure her future as a happy one. Today she is a functioning adult and it would not have been the case had Steve not been the absolute best attorney around to help. It's sad that parents use children to gain control. I wanted our daughter’s voice heard and in the end, she was heard with the help of Steve's guidance and legal advice and ability in the courtroom to do what is right and make our legal case a strong one. HIGHLY RECOMMEND/STRONGLY RECOMMEND. #TheBestAttorneyStephenMRios"

"My husband and I were referred to Mr. Rios by a close friend of ours who lives in San Juan Capistrano. My husband is in the Marine Corps and originally received orders to PCS (Permanent Change of Station) in October to Camp Pendleton. I came out early to find a home and get a job. As soon as I got here everything shut down because of Covid. I rented an apartment and signed a 14 month lease. My husband's orders changed and we will be going somewhere else come October. When a servicemember receives official orders to PCS those orders, under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA), allow the servicemember and his/her family to end their lease early without any penalties or loss of their deposit (unless of course they trash the place). The place where I signed the lease informed me that we would have to pay back the first month free concession, which was almost $2,000, they offered when I signed the lease here. We went back and forth, because they somehow thought their little private leasing contract superseded a federal law, the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act. It absolutely DOES NOT. Mr. Rios is not only a brilliant attorney, but is also a former US Marine. When we went to him for help, he took care of the entire matter in one day! He knows what he is doing and is VERY good at it. He sounded like he was very honored to be able to help out a fellow Marine. Suffice it to say, we will not be paying back that first free month concession. Thank you Mr. Rios for your service to our country and for your loyalty to your service brothers and sisters. We appreciate you!"

"Stephen M. Rios was such a pleasure to work with. It was such a comfort to me working with him on my dissolution of marriage, as he has great knowledge and expertise of the court system and the law. Both Stephen and his wonderful assistant, Tiana, helped me through the final paperwork in my divorce. Informing me on what forms needed to be completed by both me and my ex-spouse. I tried filing on my own initially, but it became confusing on what forms to complete and the courts offer little assistance. The final paperwork was submitted by their office with no delays and my divorce judgment was completed shortly after. It was such a weight off my shoulders having Stephen and Tiana overseeing the process. I am forever grateful."

"We were very fortunate to have Stephen Rios as my son’s attorney. He is not just a knowledgeable, competent and experienced attorney, but also a decent and compassionate human being. He not only puts his remarkable competence into our case, but his whole heart as well. Stephen secured a settlement that was far better than my son, and our entire family expected. Throughout the process, Stephen kept us informed, returned all calls and answered our many questions and concerns promptly. He turned what all of us thought was going to be a nightmare into a small blip in my son’s life. If you need legal assistance, we cannot recommend Stephen Rios enough."

"Mr. Rios is a an amazing attorney and I have a lot of respect for him. He is trustworthy and dependable. Highly recommend!"
