Choosing the best lawyer
Mr Rapaport lifted my spirits when I was going through my divorce and made me feel at ease during my divorce proceeding. I not only consider Mr Rapaport my lawyer but also my friend.

Hard working and very knowledgeable.
I retained Marc to represent me in a case against my former employer. He achieved a really great settlement for me. I was pleased with his attention to my concerns.

I am grateful to Mr. Rapaport
Mr. Rapaport has represented me for the past year in my divorce. He is the second attorney that has represented me. Marc's attention to detail and responsiveness has helped me in my case. I am grateful for how hard he has worked on my behalf. From our initial contact, he has been responsive to my emails and phone calls. He keeps me informed of all developments, and has ably represented me in court. When we had to deal with an emergency issue, he was willing to meet with me to prepare court papers on short notice over the weekend. Although my case continues, I am now comfortable that I am in good hands.
