I needed help with my financial situation and help was there from Rafael Gil!!
When my wife left me unexpectantly in 2008 I struggled with debt accrued in trying to refinance many situations in our life so that we could retire by the time I would be 65.

Real estate review for Rafael Gil
Rafael helped us with a housing subdivision issue. He has actually helped us with two different subdivision issues. He did an amazing job and offered us great advice. I definitely recommended him to anyone.

Very Good BK Lawyer
Rafael did a great job of keeping me informed thru out the BK process. At the age of 58 to have to go thru BK was a very troubling experience to say the least but Rafael made it as painless as possible. Would highly recomend him for this type of legal action.
