The man of his word: smart, dedicated, perfectionist, the ultimate professional

First and foremost, I want to say this from the bottom of my heart: thank you for being more like a friend to me with all your support in this hardship, Irvin. I honestly feel very fortunate and honored that Irvin Rakhlin was my lawyer. I remember the terrible morning that I got up and was looking... for an attorney. When I first spoke with him over the phone, he listened attentively, was deliberate in his answers, plausible and realistic in analyzing my situation, described a plan that he thought we should follow, and importantly, helped me regain my peace of mind. Although the case was not serious, I was nervous and kind of lost on what I have to do, but he instantly took some time to work on it although it was the weekend. As we moved forward, it became more and more evident to me that the case was in the "right hands." Irvin had the ultimate dedication in handling it and helping me resolve this unfortunate situation, and he achieved the best possible outcome for me. I never had such a legal experience before in my life and obviously, it is not a pleasant one, but he was totally aware of these facts, was so supportive and confident the whole time, and absolutely professional, while giving me that confidence every step of the way; he listens to your suggestions and concerns meticulously. Meanwhile, he is very experienced and knowledgeable and ultimately explains to you what exactly needs to be done and what his expectations are; understanding that you might not know anything about legal matters, he explains the process to you step by step, and about what he is doing in every step; he feels obligated to deliberately answer all of your questions and tell you about the details. At the same time, he is so much in control of everything; he is aware of the nuances of the law and knows exactly what he is doing, so you really feel assured that everything is on the right track. What really impressed me was the way he patiently considered and explained to me all possible alternatives from the beginning, and was so dedicated and worked hard the whole time to achieve the best result, which is exactly what we got in the end. I think you should consider yourself extremely lucky to find a lawyer with such a level of dedication and care. Another thing that stands out with him is how deliberately he listens to your concerns all the time and tries to adapt his process with every single one of them; he does not bound his support to a certain degree and does not take issue with perfectionism; he understands that you might have concerns from different aspects about the result of the case, and he tries to fulfill all of them. He also pays attention to various details of your background that you might think is not so important in the first place. In communication, he is extremely powerful and has lots of helpful links. I would highly recommend Irvin to anyone who asks me for an attorney because honestly, I think he did more than just "doing his job." Besides his expertise and dedication and being extremely decisive, he is also a very humble and nice person, always tries to make you comfortable and relieved. At the same time, he describes the situation realistically and rationally. Most importantly, you feel that he is really in hardship with you and protects you as a close friend does, rather than just being a legal attorney; he does put all of his expertise and experience to resolve your case. I was so grateful to have him as my lawyer, he is a perfectionist and does not look just for a good outcome, but the best outcome and works really hard for it until the very last. I feel so lucky that I hired Irvin as my attorney and cannot say enough awesome things about him.

Highly Recommended Attorney

I had my motor vehicle registration revoked and got a clerk magistrate hearing. After speaking with Attorney Rakhlin, I felt like I was at the right place. The amount of knowledge he has on handling such cases reflected while he was explaining the situation to me. He asked me all the necessary questi...ons to handle the case. Once I gave him all the documents he needed, from there on he took care of it. He represented me in the clerk magistrate hearing and the case was dismissed in a minute. I feel relieved and stress free because of him after this incident. I highly recommend Rakhlin Law to anyone who faces a similar issue.

Thankful to Have Found the Best Attorney

I am so happy I chose Irv to represent me in my case. He was non-judgemental, kind and respectful at all times. These are really important attributes for an attorney when you are at one of the lowest points in your life. Those attributes, though, were nothing compared to his tenacity in fighting for ...the best possible result in my case. He fought until the very last minute for an outcome that I could never have imagined. I will forever be grateful to Irv and I thank God every day I made the absolute best choice for an attorney

One of the Best! Top Notch Attorney/Person all around

Being accused and arrested of a crime is one of the most gut wrenching feelings an individual would face in their lives. Within 24 hours my mind and heart racing, wasn’t able to eat or sleep I went through the vetting process. I called multiple firms during the weekend promising they were open 24-7 b...ut Attorney Irvin Rakhlin was the only one that called me immediately within 10-15 minutes and had our consultation then. I had a prior attorney I contacted before Irv, but he didn’t seem to fight for me and even told me my case would take months or years to resolve which made me look elsewhere Irv, by far is the most impressive human beings I’ve encountered, he was poised and gave me some an oversight of the criminal process and what was the next steps. Irv, from that day made my life change to the right direction. At my arraignment, during Covid, Irv on short notice went to arraignment hearing and assisted me and talked strategy and next steps. Irv, even went out of his way and talked to me as a person first most and suggested I go through counseling (which has helped me) as this was my first arrest and hopefully the last. At my pre trial hearing, Irv fought hard and discussed with the local DA and fought for my tremendously, and I am excited to express that my case was dismissed! I am overly impressed and thankful I met Irv. Irv has provided legal advice and guidance during a difficult situation. I found him to be experienced, responsive, knowledgable and honest. While working with Irv, I felt as though my situation was in adept and trustworthy hands, and he did not steer me wrong. I would highly recommend attorney Rakhlin to anyone who is seeking legal representation that is honest, fair and will keep your best interest and unique needs at the forefront. Should the situation arrives again, I would not hesitate to seek representation from Attorney Irvin Rakhlin again. One of the best decisions of my life was to retain Irv as my attorney. If you’re reading this, I promise that give Irv a call and he will direct your life in the right direction.

God Sent

Attorney Rakhlin was referred on a last minute for a court hearing for a Restraining Order. With limited amount of time and information. He was very resourceful and provided me with one of the best legal support. He was very compassionate to my cause. I highly recommend him for his professionalis...m and resourcefulness!!
