Outstanding Lawyer
Mr. Raether was the first lawyer who decided to take on my case being that it was a very difficult one.

With that, I immediately l...
"Charles Rather is a top-notch immigration attorney. His knowledge of business immigration law is second to non and he is a true professional. I have had the pleasure of dealing with him on several matters and can confidently recommend his services. Excellent lawyer."
"Mr. Raether is extremely professional and knowledgeable attorney committed to his clients. He makes a point of maintaining excellent relationships with his clients both during the representation and after the matter is over. Due to Mr. Raether’s experience in EB-5 and business visas, he obtained the best results for the clients in most difficult situations, after they had multiple requests for evidence and even denials. It is great honor to work with him and to learn from him every day."
"Charles has demonstrated his knowledge of both lemon law and auto sales fraud issues time and again to consumer lawyers both in and outside of Virginia. His research abilities are remarkable - he knows how to find out things about cars from little resources that still surprise me but can make winning your case much easier because of it. He's smart, he's good, and he cares about helping consumers get justice. That's exactly what a consumer needs when they have fallen victim to owning a lemon car or a deceptive auto sales practice. I endorse and recommend him."
