Litigation counsel for families and businesses in the Inland Empire.
Serrato Law handles divorce and custody, civil lawsuits, and estate planning from our office in downtown San Bernardino. We take cases to court when that is what it takes, and we settle them when settling is the better result.
Three kinds of cases. One firm that tries them.
Most of what walks through our door is a dispute someone did not choose. We focus on the areas where a lawyer who is comfortable in a courtroom makes the biggest difference.

A small firm, on purpose.
Serrato Law is run by Omar Serrato, a trial attorney who appears in the family and civil courts of San Bernardino, Riverside, and Los Angeles counties. The firm stays small so that the attorney you meet at the first appointment is the attorney who argues your motion and sits next to you at trial.
Clients get direct answers about where their case stands, what it will cost, and what the realistic outcomes are. If a case should settle, we say so. If it should be fought, we fight it.
About the firm
The trials everyone is talking about, explained by a lawyer who tries cases.
Omar's podcast and YouTube livestream follow high-profile cases as they happen: what the lawyers are doing, why the judge ruled the way she did, and what it means for the verdict. No legal background required.
