One of the best, and most professional

I want to Express how great, amazing and satisfied I was with the service, work and time Mr. Michael put into the criminal case of my brother. He's one of the most professional, outstanding and HONEST person I've had the pressure of dealing with. He will go far and beyond his duties, to ensure that y...ou know everything associated with the case and step by step. I would most definitely recommend him over and over again.

Not Your Ordinary Criminal Defense Lawyer!

Michael Raab was one of three lawyers highly recommended to us by a lawyer friend. We interviewed all three lawyers and decided to hire Michael, because we felt he would defend our brother as though he was Michael’s own brother. We were right!!! He took the time to meet with us on numerous occasion...s and explain every step of the legal process and never made unrealistic promises. He always made you feel like he truly cared for his client. My brother’s case was difficult to win as the defendants were going to be tried as a “package”, which meant that everyone had to agree on the plea bargain offered by the DA’s office or go through a very costly trial as a group. After numerous negotiation efforts by Michael, the entire group was offered a plea bargain that they couldn’t refuse. At the end of the last court hearing, two of the other defendants’ lawyers came up to us and thanked us for hiring Michael. One of the lawyers went as far as to say that if it weren’t for Michael, his client would have been given a much tougher sentence. We are so grateful to Michael for helping us through these very trying times. I wholeheartedly recommend Michael to anyone needing a criminal lawyer! You won’t regret your decision.

Best in the business!

When I met Michael Raab I was absolutely lost. I was sitting in the county jail with no release date. I had lost all hope due to a serious drug addiction and living life through the revolving door of the Los Angeles County jail. Mike Raab assured me with supreme confidence that everything was going t...o be ok. Mike fought for me and was able to get me released from jail and into a drug treatment program where I thrived and overcame my addiction and eventually enrolled in school to become a drug and alcohol counselor. Three years after I met Michael he took my case back to court and was able to drop my felony to a misdemeanor. If it wasn't for Michael I would not be the man, father and husband I am today. When I met Michael I was homeless in the county jail. Today I am proud of who I am. And I owe a big part of that to Michael Raab.

Amazing Lawyer!

Hiring Michael to defend my son was the smartest decision I could have ever made! Michaels honesty and professionalism was greatly appreciated! Besides keeping us both constantly informed of the case, Michael went out of his way to keep my mind at ease. Believe me when I say I hope I never have t...o hire a lawyer again but if I do I would hire Michael Raab without a second thought!

Raab reduced my Felony charge to a Misdemeanor

After being arrested for DUI I was going to lose my license for a year and be put on probation for ten. Needless to say I thought there was little hope for my case because of the 0.08 and 0.09 breathalyzer readings. Michael Raab came highly recommended from a family member who is also a lawyer who ...described Raab as a highly skilled attorney. Raab personally called me the same day he was emailed and he reassured me that he was there to defend me in everyway possible. Long story short Raab was able to reduce my felony DUI charge to a misdemeanor wet reckless. Raab was also able to get my driving license back after a one month suspension and reduce my ten year probation period to a mere two years. Thanks to the one month suspension instead of a full year I was also able to retain my job. Hire Michael Raab. He kept me in constant contact and well informed while he fought on my behalf at several court appearances. It was at these court appearances he was able to reduce my felony charge to misdemeanor. Raab also rapidly responded to any calls or emails I sent. His knowledge of the law and the Los Angeles court system are beyond exceptional. You can trust the counsel of Michael Raab.
