A Victory!

Mr. Raval was the first attorney I found in a web search. Three other attorneys I spoke with as well recommended him. So, we first encountered his excellence among his peers. We hired him to represent my wife against an LTD claim denial. He convinced the insurance company to reverse its decision to d...eny my wife's claim. His detailed and factual presentation set a tone of integrity that couldn't be overlooked. We won justice and peace of mind. This was also a victory for healthcare over health insurance companies.

LOOK NO FURTHER

Amar & I have worked together for about 11 months or so. You must give him time to come out of his attorney skin & allow him to show himself, he is a very carrying, passionate individual & works his butt off for you. He may not lead you to think he does, but as time goes on, you will figure out on y...our own that he is all over your case & is very knowledgeable & knows the law like he knows the back of his hand. He listens to your needs and what your interests are for the best outcome in your case, unless it is completely unrealistic, then he will tell you. You will receive documents that look like they came from another worlds language with legal jargon but he will take the time to explain them to you so you are completely "in the know" as to what is happening with your case. Our case settled with our best interest, so we didn't actually win, but it felt like the BEST WIN EVER!! If I needed someone to go to war with, it would be Amar Rival, my attorney. I have retained him for the next 5 yrs

A Lawyer with Integrity! Amazing!

I had issues with receiving payment on valid, current policies after a cancer diagnosis, and received every excuse the insurance company could think of not to pay the claims. Thanks to Amar's support, both the STD and Cancer policies were approved. Hiring Amar Raval to handle these horrid insurance... companies will be the best decision you can make!

Great Advocate & Trustworthy

Mr. Raval represented my brother and I on an insurance case related to our late father. He was knowledgeable, caring, and kept us informed throughout the entire process. Thanks to Mr. Raval, we were able to resolve our case quickly.

Breach of Contract

We are a company based in Africa which had a contract dispute with a US based company. Mr. Amar took the time to understand the case, our concerns and came up with a solid plan that eventually led to a Mediated Settlement Agreement. We would definitely call him again if ever the need arises.

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.
