"I strongly endorse Rafe Banks. I've had the privilege of working with him on several matters and observed firsthand the amount of hard work and effort he puts into each case. He genuinely cares for his clients and knows the law. He is a fierce litigator who is not afraid to crank up a jury trial when it is appropriate. He is a mentor and a friend."

"Rafe Banks is quitely simply the dean of the defense bar in Forsyth County. Years ago, when I was a young ADA prosecuting cases in Forsyth County, I quickly grew to respect his acumen, skill and broad knowledge of the law. As the years have advanced my respect for him has only grown. He possesses all of the traits that make a great lawyer and has them in abundance. His character, talent, collegiality and common sense are appreciated by all who work with him. You would do well to seek his counsel if you need a lawyer in the Forsyth County area."

"Rafe is a proven trial lawyer who is not afraid of the courtroom. In a day and time where most lawyers will take your money and plead you guilty, Rafe is a welcome change. In most counties the prosecutor will not bother trying to negotiate for a guilty plea because each knows Rafe means business. You will find that Rafe is not cheap when it comes to fees (the reason is that he above any other lawyer in Forsyth gets results!) Rafe is always re-inventing himself by learning new "twists" on the rules of evidence and theories of defense. Rafe is the very best in Forsyth County. gus"

"Knowing Rafe since I prosecuted in Forsyth County, I have personal knowledge of the fact that he is one of those attorneys that will be relenting in his advocacy while doing so in the most professional manner. As a colleague, I can not say enough good things about Rafe. He is a wealth of knowledge and someone I consistently rely upon when I have novel issues to deal with."

"I have known Rafe for years and have seen his work first hand. He is the consummate professional. He is well-respected by his peers as well as opposing counsel. If you are charged in a criminal case, you should contact Rafe Banks. He will not let you down. He has my 100% endorsement as well as my personal respect."

"Rafe Banks is a tireless worker. He pursues his cases like a bloodhound. Often I am amazed by the unique turn he puts on a defense, and, usually it is the linchpin which puts the case in the win column. He thinks outside the box. He digs until he gets the answer he wants, or if it's not there he asks the courts to accept his view of how the law should read. He regularly wins cases in the Georgia Supreme Court, most often pointing out what to him seemed obvious, but until that time everybody else didn't see. That's the mark of a truly great lawyer. His courtroom skills are topnotch, and his work ethic puts him in the courtroom fully prepared for the fight. He's one of the best lawyers I know."
