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.

Run for the hills!!! Do not hire this lawyer!!

Worse lawyer you can buy. Do not make another mistake. Michael Raab never returns your phone calls and keeps you in the dark throughout the case. Unless you are a big name celebrity, your case will be handled with the least amount of time and energy possible. Once you pay the retainer fee, forget abo...ut it, you will never hear from him again. I got so fed up with Michael that I took a loss on the retainer fee and hired a different lawyer. Best decision I ever made. Adam Zolonz was the new lawyer and he saved my life. Go check him out. Whatever you do, stay away from Michael Raab. The only thing that he is good at is making empty promises!

I believe this comment is a product of, "negative phishing." I do not know this client, nor has Adam Zolonz ever contacted me regarding any client at any time. I return all calls and pride myself on my commitment to communication with my clients.

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.

Cream of the crop!

I would highly recommend Michael Raab to anybody looking for a criminal attorney. He came highly recommend to me and I'm pleased with the level of service I received. Raap / Mahoney handled my case and clearly explained to me ,step by step, what to expect during this process.. I was always able to g...et in contact with my attorney in and out of the office. He even took my call on Saturday! The outcome of my case...I paid a $100 donation to a charity. I feel as clients we want everything done immediately and on our schedule. But, anybody who had been through this process learns the courts don't always operate the way we would like and the attorneys have no control over the way the courts run. Micheal Raab will handle your case efficiently and professionally throughout your time with him.
