Disappointing and Unethical Legal Representation

A pattern of excuses, dishonesty, and a lack of timely communication marked Michael Raab's conduct. Raab's representation was utterly lacking in professionalism, ethics, and competence. His actions caused me unnecessary stress, significant financial loss, and potentially irreparable damage to my ca...se. I'd like to point out that anyone considering hiring Michael Raab should think twice and explore other options.

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.

He gets the job done!

We hired Michael to defend a family member and could not have asked for a more professional and honest attorney. Through the entire 10 month ordeal he kept us informed and up to date with the status of the case, he also prepared us for the reality of the situation and did not give us false hope. He i...s a very knowledgeable attorney both in State and Federal court he ended up getting our family member 24 months when 72 months was the recommendation by the assistant US attorney. Thanks Mr. Raab!

Professional and the best

If your looking for a good attorney that will fight for you and keep you out of jail Michael G.Raab Is the man you need on your side. To make a long story short I got myself in a lot of trouble and was facing a sentence of 9+ years and a felony strike. I hired Michael Raab from day one he was profess...ional and knowlegable in his practice not to mention that he is very we'll respected in the courts. He handled my case and was a very defense and fought for me. He got my sentence down to 1 year in county jail no strike on my record. I only did 4 days in the county for 1 kilo possession of controlled substance , transportation, possesion of loaded firearms and if didn't get charged for 90 plants of marijuana. This man is the best in his practice believe me. So if your looking for a good attorney give him a call. You get what you pay for remember freedom is not something you want to bargain with. He's honest , respectful, professional, and he's the best money can buy. He will keep you out of jail/prison.

Beyond Pleased - would recommend highly

I found Michael Raab to be not only proficient and extremely knowledgeable, but well connected in his field. He has a good working relation with all courts, attorneys, DA's, and judges which can only help you if you're his client. He handled my case (and WON) with complete professionalism. I would... and have recommended Michael Raab to friends and family members. If I ever need an attorney again I will definitely call Michael.
