A lawyer who doesn't give up!

Ms. Ral was wonderful. I was referred to her by a coworker who worked with her in the past. She worked on an immigration case for me and my husband and simplified everything for us. I was so nervous about our situation initially and had no hope but during our first meeting, she assured me that my fam...ily had nothing to worry about. Me and my husband were so relieved after our first meeting and we knew we had to save up our money and hire her asap. She spent hours on our case and always made herself available to address our questions and concerns. She worked extremely fast and did not give up until we won. I will use her again and I have recommended her to all my friends and family members. She was a blessing

What an Exceptional Experience

Ral Obioha was referred to me by a friend who at the time was going through the same situation I was. We both were misled into purchasing a fraudulent timeshare in Mexico and we both needed a way out. We knew this was an issue that we couldn't both handle on our own. The moment I called Ral I knew sh...e was the right choice. She listened to my concerns and reassured me she had worked with other clients in the past with the same misfortunes. She walked me through step by step of what she needed for me. She was always available to talk and never took more than 24 hours to respond to emails. I am happy to say I am now timeshare free and do not have to worry about the financial burden it had placed on me and my family. I owe Ral Obioha so much for giving me the opportunity to have peace of mind again. I highly recommend her and will definitely keep her on speed dial.

Timeshare

Okay i was stuck with a dubious timeshare purchase which she helped me get out of once and for all . She was very professional and thorough and I'm very fulfilled with her work. Could have given a 7 star but clearly no room for that. Will definitely recommend her services to everyone I know.

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.
