Posted by Mike | May 8, 2018 | Consulted Attorney

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

He really seemed to care.

In my experience, it has been very tedious and daunting to begin a conversation with an attorney, especially one at a law firm with other partners, etc. That is, usually law firms won't lend an ear, it seems, unless you pay $100-300 initial consulting fee, which is basically a $15 overview of your c...ase and whether they think it's worthwhile$$$. However, not only was I surprised to see Attorney Rhatz offer a no-cost consultation, but he also kept it "real." He advised me with information that even seemed to work against his assumed interest in profit (i.e., he didn't try to exploit me for money), such as by providing me with self-help research suggestions, and even helped me put together an outline for my case. He didn't want me to lose more money winning with him (he didn't want me to spend so much money to retain him, that even if winning the case, I'd still be at a net negative dollar-loss). He gave me his undivided attention, asked questions that showed he actually paid attention, and was very resourceful with directing me towards credible sources of jurisprudence. What's more, is that he didn't throw me out after 15 minutes, but rather stayed with me until he felt I was sufficiently informed with the material and answers to questions to send me along my way. This man even read through all my notes and connected with me as a person. I also appreciated his aggressive, but civil, nature towards vanquishing the countering party. He is strategic, he is prepared to preempt the countering party's legal arguments by first calling them out himself, and sparks reassurance that he is sedulously and astutely on the case. Obviously, I would recommend attorney R Andrew Rahtz for the aforementioned reasons, despite only meeting with him one time on an preliminary consultation.

An outstanding professional

We started working with Andrew Rahtz 3 years ago as we had enlisted the help of Platt and Westby for a property issue we were having. We noticed from the beginning his willingness to listen, his attention to detail and his professional manner, which was very reassuring to us as this was our first en...counter seeking legal assistance. During the many twists and turns of our case, Andrew was always prepared and represented us in a manner that we were proud of: intellectually informed and calm. He answered our many emails and phone calls in a timely manner, which was impressive knowing his other responsibilities were equally demanding of his time. This is an outstanding man that will do his best to seek a good result for your legal problems. We can recommend him to you with total confidence.
