One of the best negotiators I know.

My Go To Lawyer!

Stephan is absolutely one of, if not, the best lawyers I ever dealt wit. Friendly, Knowledgeable and very trust worthy, he took my case with great success! He answered all my questions and emails promptly and made me feel like I was his number one priority! I will be going back to him in the future a...nd I would recommend anyone I know to go see him for their law needs.

I highly recommend him to everyone.

Help when I was down

Steve Raff is an excellent personal injury attorney. I was hit by a car and suffered 3 herniated discs. I was treated well by his firm throughout the year of working together.. Steve met with me when and where it was convenient for me. He helped me choose my medical expert and explained many idiosyn...crasies about what can and cannot be said in the courtroom. During the trial, he argued that photos from an acquaintance's FB page were inadmissable. Ultimately I was awarded a fair sum for my injuries.

Great lawyer.

Steve Raff goes above and beyond to help you. I have recommended Steve to many of my family members and friends in the past. Every one of them have the same positive feedback. Also, his staff is very friendly and helpful. Steve is always available to answer your questions and address your concerns.

"Steve Raff is the attorney you want on your side. Whether at the negotiating table or in the Courtroom he provides the kind of responsive and appropriately aggressive advocacy that all clients deserve and should demand. As a practicing attorney I can tell you, first hand, that the firm of Raff & Raff has earned the respect of the bench and bar. When I have questions outside my area of practice Steve Raff and the other attorneys of his firm are the first people I call to get answers. I would recommend the firm to all of my personal and professional colleagues without hesitation. I have total confidence in both the abilities and integrity of this firm."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
