A Disheartening Experience with attorney Raikhelson

On November 14, 2023, I boldly sought legal prowess from the so-called expert, attorney Andre Raikhelson in Russian (Андрей Райхельсон). What unfolded was a saga of utter disappointment, teeming with hints of professional misconduct. I didn't just hire Raikhelson; I entrusted him with a critical mi...ssion: to tackle the disqualification of Judge Michael Davis, given the glaring bias from General Magistrate Allana Woods, whom I already disqualified in my high-stakes child custody case. My driving force? The acute need to reunite with my child, languishing without her father's presence. Raikhelson had the audacity to demand a hefty $7000 retainer at an exorbitant rate of $400 per hour. Post our 10 minutes Boca Raton rendezvous and having pocketed the payment, he supposedly took on the case. I didn't hold back in detailing my child's profound bond with me and the deep scars left by her father's absence. Despite my pointed questions about any potential ties he might have with my child's mother a licensed attorney or her legal firm, he had the nerve to assure me there were none. The plot thickened disastrously when Judge Davis stepped back on November 20, 2023. Raikhelson's response? Not just delayed but laced with greed for more fees, shattering his initial promises. Despite being a social media butterfly stylist, my demands for invoices and tangible action were met with nothing but dilly-dallying and, ultimately, a botched and rejected motion submission. His silence, contrasted with his relentless social media antics, sparked serious alarms. My pleas to file a motion to see the child ASAP fell on deaf ears. By December 13, 2023, in sheer desperation, I took matters into my own hands and drafted a motion. Raikhelson’s follow-up actions? A spectacle of unprofessionalism and an appalling disregard for my child's welfare. His cheek to ask for another $4000, coupled with the bombshell about his wife's ties to my child's mother, smacked of a gross conflict of interest – a fact he had blatantly lied about earlier. I now see Raikhelson's conduct as not just unprofessional, but reeking of potential fraudulence. His failure to reveal his connection to the opposition, along with his pathetic lack of commitment and transparency, is nothing short of scandalous. I'm pursuing sanctions against this charlatan, demanding a refund, and pushing for administrative repercussions. This ordeal has been a financial and emotional bloodbath involving the most crucial aspect of my life: my child's well-being.

EXCELLENT LAWYER

I met Andre when I was having a complicated business dispute with a former partner. Andre spent time explaining to me every step of the process. We went to mediation and managed to negotiate a very favorable settlement.

Dedicated Lawyer and a True Professional

I have had a chance to have a consultation with Andre and watch him working with clients. He was going above and beyond with their cases. Not only Andre strives to achieve the best possible outcome for his clients but, most importantly, he treats people with respect, dignity and kindness. Andre is th...e attorney you want as your lawyer. Hiring an attorney is like letting a new person into your life and family. This is why you want someone who truly cares about you. Andre is certainly the one.

Incredible Attorney

I had the fortunate opportunity to meet Andre when I was looking for an attorney to help me with an immigration matter. He was extremely invested in my case, and always kept my hopes up. Andre handled the situation beautifully, and successfully helped me through a difficult situation. I would highly... recommend him to anyone enquiring about legal services.

Great Litigator

Andre has helped me with a myriad of legal issues. He has always been compassionate, driven, and available. Andre is not only compassionate for what he does, but he is also patient, honest and kind. He makes sure his clients are happy and understand every step of the process, by always maintaining cl...ear communication and being readily available. I recommend him to anyone needing legal representation.
