Thank you!

I hired Attorney John Raihala to represent me after I was in a serious car accident. He was always professional, knowledgeable and caring. He checked in with me on a regular basis to make sure I was aware of all the updates. Attorney Raihala worked diligently with all parties involved to ensure the b...est outcome for me and my family. After the outstanding results of my case, I hired him again for another case, which he won again! Thank you Attorney Raihala!

The human element

John Raihala is simply outstanding at not only the legal aspects, but the people aspects as well. By that, I mean that he never forgets that the human element is at the heart of every case. He was empathetic, patient, and understanding. He was also very tactful and realistic when it came to the situa...tion and possible outcomes of my case. I would highly recommend John to others!

Very helpful and caring

If you need a good lawyer, I strongly recommend John Raihala at Clifford & Raihala.  My case was from a drunk driver turning in front of me and causing me to crash. Then, the insurance company refused to treat me fairly. I hired John to help me and he did a great job. Throughout my case he always to...ok the time to listen to me and answer my questions so I understood what was happening. John worked with my doctors and put together a strong team on my side. In the end John made the insurance company pay me for everything I lost.

Great job by a dedicated attorney

After a tragic and unexpected event in a medical procedure caused a wrongful death, I hired John Raihala. He was always compassionate and supportive and helped me get through a painfully trying time and process. At every step, he explained and kept me informed. He was always available, returned ...all calls and answered all questions respectfully. Throughout the case, I always felt that it was just as important to him to get justice for my loved one as it was for me. John’s legal work was excellent too, and I was very satisfied with the settlement he obtained for me. And, he helped me find out what really happened! In retrospect, he prepared me for the mediation session that resulted in a settlement with tact and kindness which could have been even more difficult. John came highly recommended by other attorneys and I add to that recommendation. I am very grateful.

Highly recommend John Raihala

In Spring 2013, my husband was killed in a bicycle vs. truck accident. I am ever grateful to have selected John Raihala at Clifford & Raihala to handle numerous legal issues resulting from this untimely occurrence. John and his colleagues took the time to carefully explain each step throughout the l...egal process. Anyone who has suffered unexpected loss of life knows how difficult it is to navigate complex legal, financial and personal issues while grieving. I always appreciated their willingness to answer my questions with accuracy and great empathy. John treated me with kindness and respect, and worked quickly to achieve the best possible outcome without a trial. I have been able to move forward from this tragedy because of their excellent work. John Raihala at Clifford & Raihala has my highest recommendation and my sincere appreciation. Thank you!
