Excellent!

Francis Raff went above and beyond to meet my needs. He answered all my questions as I contacted him many times concerned about the outcome of my case. When I was unsure how possibly being found guilty of a misdeamnor would affect my future teaching career, he made a point to contact the head of the ...department and get that information without me even asking him to do so. He was prompt in answering phone calls and emails. He was able to get my case settled exactly how I was hoping and would highly recommend him to anyone!

Always kept me informed

I hired Francis to help me with a relatively simple immigration issue. He was very responsive, always answered my questions, and made sure that I was aware of all of the potential pitfalls to going forward with an immigration petition. Overall, I was very pleased with the service.

  • 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.
