Mr. Rifis and his staff handled a divorce for me. They worked very closely with me in obtaining and organizing my financial records to disprove the charge by my husband’s attorney that I made more money than I did and that the debt that I was asking my husband to share was my own personal debt. He proved that my husband was responsible for much of our marital debt by using my credit card and that we had paid off my husband’s credit card charges first because he had a higher interest rate than mine. We used my card for family purchases. My ex-husband is now paying his fair share of those old family bills and the children’s current expenses. Mr. Rifis and his staff were very considerate of my situation and my emotional state. I highly recommend their compassion, experience and professionalism.
The insurance company offered me a pathetically low sum of money for my work accident. Attorney Rifis convinced me not to accept it and on the morning of the trial they finally offered me a lot more reasonable amount as we were walking into the arbitrator’s hearing room. Mr. Rifis spent a lot of time with me preparing for the hearing. We went over the facts of the accident and all of my medical care and bills. He had taken the doctor’s deposition and was ready for the hearing. All that preparation was not wasted because I knew that I would win after the hearing and it gave me the confidence to wait for the best settlement offer. Mr. Rifis is worth every bit of his fee.

He's a fighter
My ex had a million reasons why he couldn't pay his child support. Mr. Rifis got all of his financial information and figured out he was spending it on his girlfriend. I got a settlement for tens of thousands of dollars with interest. Plus, he got my ex to pay most of his legal fees.
