Brilliant, compassionate to clients, and very responsive

Ms. Raben is without a doubt the best attorney I have ever encountered. She remembers every word you tell her, and she can see right through any nonsense. She seems to work 24-hours a day and responds to any communication you send her almost immediately. Ms. Raben is what an attorney should be. She w...ould do almost anything for her clients. Shame I could only give her 5-stars.

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.
