Exceeded all my expectations

I found Attorney Rakhlin while doing a search on Avvo. He was the miracle I was looking for, and he didn't get an Avvo score of 10/10 for nothing. I thought the situation I was in was so dire because the attorney that I had initially hired said that my case "can go either way" which meant if it did g...o south, it would negatively impact and jeopardize my future immensely. I had other unpleasant traumatizing interactions with a couple other attorneys before I found Irv. I emailed Attorney Rakhlin my situation, and he replied. We had an initial consultation over the phone, and I knew immediately he was the right attorney for me. Irv is ethical, professional, highly intelligent, a shark in terms of the in's and out's of court, fearless, confident, compassionate, understanding, empathetic, well prepared, prompt, trustworthy, kind, straight, and honest. He's the perfect attorney if you can believe that. Attorney Rakhlin was able to secure a victory for my case before going to trial. His negotiation skills are exemplary. It was amazing to see him work. I can not say enough of the gratitude that I have for Irv. He was the miracle I was looking for to represent me.

Excellent lawyer with great attitude

If you're reading this then let me tell you, you should hired him as your lawyer in a heartbeat..not only he helped my case but he won and helped me get back in track. When it came to court date he is very punctual and the way he represents you infront of the judge is outstanding. He is very eficien...t and effective and very budget friendly..if you can't pay all in once he will give you an options for payment and very flexible and understanding. Lastly I wish nothing but the best for him and his firm. Because of him now I'm once again living normal life who don't have to worry about court and legal issues.

Saved the day

It was 7:20 in the morning when I called Irvin, and I was in my worst nightmare. I barely slept in the last 24 hours and need immediate help from a law processional. My arraignment was scheduled at 9 AM so I called a few lawyers based on their reviews online (never dealt with lawsuits before) and Irv...in was the first one responded. He was calm, logical and cared at the same time so my tension sharply decreased a few mins into the conversation. I also had a much better understanding of what was happening, thanks to his clear explaination and attention to details like he was wearing my shoes. After about 30 mins consultation on the phone, we both decided to meet in court and Irvin made it in such a short notice. It was a painful process in the next few months for me since that was the first time I had to go through pretrials and trial for domestic. Irvin again was really helpful and hand holding me through the whole process, and for many times explained to me why there was nothing to worry about and he was well prepared. He quickly responds to my emails, texts and phone calls as soon as he sees them. That alone made me feel much better knowing a law processional was taking care of the case. Things started to look better because Irvin pushed hard in the process while maintained a good relationship with others involved. I was able to work and go home like this never happened due to his protection and professionalism. The case was dismissed in just about 3 months, it took a miracle to have it dismissed in such a short period. The judge's decision finally proved what Irvin told me before, there was nothing to worry about. I am very happy to recommend Irvin to anyone who needs his professional advice for what you are going through right now. Any steps go wrong might lead to a entirely different outcome than what you have expected so getting a good lawyer with years of experiences is important. You would have to pay the price unfortunately but at least with Irvin's help, you know that you are in good hands.

The Best Lawyer You'll Ever Hire

Irvin and I met under a very dark situation where I am in need of help. The few things I can say about Irvin is that he will do everything he can to help you. Not only he priotizes his case, but Irvin has also helped me in stepping back up the ladder. People usually lose control and confidence, but I...rvin has been a great help. Irvin also priotizes his clients' needs and often advises them for the best outcome based on his many years of experiences. Irvin has truly helped me step right back up to society and has fought hard to the best outcome of my case. The main key of hiring Irvin is his promptness. No matter how late or how busy he is, he can still be reached through his cellphone. If you encountered a difficult scenario, no matter how desperate in need for legal assistance, I STRONGLY recommend Irvin Rakhlin. He is the best and the most understanding lawyer I have ever met.
