Gretchen Fry Rafuse

Gretchen Fry Rafuse completely misrepresented her style by claiming to be aggressive and responsive, which were qualities we requested in any prospective counsel; she proved to be neither. As her client, I warned her that opposing counsel would drag her down pointless rabbit holes, delay, obfuscate a...nd for Gretchen to avoid these pitfalls and pursue specific, reasonable goals. After five months and most our our hefty retainer used, Ms. Rafuse had achieved not a single goal. Something as simple as obtaining required health care information for a minor child, as ordered by a judge, was beyond Gretchen’s capability despite having a court order empowering her to seek this. She proved unable to handle pointed and honest feedback about her poor performance and chose to display her inability to accept negative feedback by trying to remove herself from the case claiming a “breakdown in the attorney/client relationship.” The only breakdown was in Ms. Rafuse’s willingness to accept her failings, rectify them, and move forward with the task she was given. Ms. Rafuse didn’t file letters when she agreed to, used child care absence as an excuse for not contacting us as agreed, took offense to being called out, and didn’t return calls or emails promptly despite assurances that she would be responsive. We were incredibly disappointed in her service, communications, focus, and excuses.

I was represented by Gretchen Fry Rafuse. She went above and beyond to assist me, making sure I was in excellent hands. Results were better than I had even dreamed of. Polite, helpful and responsive to all our questions and concerns, the whole process was smooth and painless. Cannot recommend enoug...h!

Gretchen was an amazing attorney. She assisted me with my case. Not to go into much detail, but I was involved in a divorce and she was absolutely professional and no matter the time or place, she was able to give me comfort. She gave me excellent advice! And the best part, we got exactly what I w...anted! When my brother in law Josh had a family issue I immediately referred Gretchen as the best attorney in the area! She will always be my go to attorney and a referral for all my family and friends!
