STOP YOUR SEARCH YOU FOUND YOUR LAWYER

Have you ever looked at someone and thought “that’s the type of person I’d love to sit next to...but not across from?” Lawyer Richard Jaffe is that man to me! HE WON E-V-E-R-Y MOTION IN BOTH of my extremely difficult WC AND SSD CASES! Richard Jaffe looks out for YOU! I know how hard it is to put your... trust, your LIFE in someone else’s hands...But I honestly wouldn’t want anyone else by my side. He’s there fighting for what you want, your needs, your rights.He doesn’t pressure you to settle and again he WON every motion, every case, every argument, every settlement...he won them for me...even the ones we thought were long shots!!! I’ve always felt seen, heard, supported and important. I have thrown some extremely difficult, at times dire situations at him. Yet somehow he’s always pulling through for me! Due to my injuries I get overwhelmed, confused, forgetful and wound up.Richard is always patient with me, is able to calm me down quickly and easily. I always feel reassured after talking with him. He’ll tell you like it is...nicely...no bs or fluff, which I truly appreciate! He has very fair to YOU payment arrangements, unlike others I met in the past. I wish I would have found him earlier, it would have prevented so many tears, wasted years and so much anxiety! I honestly don’t know what I would have done or what would have happened if I didn’t find Richard Jaffe! He swooped in an saved me several years ago. I have very high expectations which are not easily or commonly met. Richard Jaffe and his Paralegal Christina have EXCEEDED my expectations and continue to do so. I couldn’t be happier!!! I am a real client. I truly recommend this Lawyer!!!!

Thank you Jennifer, it has been a pleasure to represent you in both your Workers Compensation and Social Security Disability matters. The tougher the case, the better we are. We are very happy that we were able to win your Claim for Social Security Disability which then enabled us to get a much better lump sum settlement for your Workers Compensation Claim.

Excellent attorney for any workers compensation case or social security!!!!!!

Richard A Jaffe, LLC represented me in my workers comp case and his knowledge, foresight, and understanding of all aspects of the law was incredible. He applied his skills to my case for over seven years, kept me fully updated, explained everything to me in laymans terms and won!! At times I was ...furious at workers compensation for the nonsense and games they played with me and Mr. Jaffe kept me calm and did his job in an exemplary manner. I couldn't have a better attorney representing me and I highly recommend him for anyone who needs representation for workers compensation or social security disability, which he also was able to get me. In my opinion, he is the best in his field. Sincerely, Cathe LeBlanc Satterthwaite

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. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
