I have had a continuing professional relationship with Mr. Rafkin for the past ten years. I was introduced to Mr. Rafkin by a third party who thought Mr. Rafkin could help in determining a course of action(s) to pursue. At our very first face to face meeting it was apparent that Mr. Rafkin is a cut a...bove. Adam had clearly read all the background information we provided and had formulated a plan of action. He is an excellent listener and incorporated our concerns every step of the way. Mr. Rafkin is particularly skilled at establishing an objective/goal and then insuring that every effort is directed toward that objective/goal. Due to his excellent communication skills we always knew where we were and felt we were part of the solution. During court hearings, conferences, motions, orders, etc. we observed Mr. Rafkin at his finest - on his feet, responding in real time to new or changing information. He just is better than anyone else we observed at absorbing information and articulating a position. The results of the action Mr. Rafkin took on our behalf speak for themselves. We recovered funds well in excess of what we had thought remotely possible, and retained our award through appeal and appellate court. He is knowledgeable, smart, well organized, motivated and persuasive. Most significantly, Mr. Rafkin is a winner.

Mr. Rafkin is very knowledgeable professional attorney, he is pleasant, funny, polite, courteous and very thorough. Don’t take his kindness for weakness, he is a bulldog in court and I am glad that he represents me when needed.
