The best referral I was ever given was to the Law Firm of Thon, Beck, Vanni, Callahan & Powell. It was such a pleasure working with such a professional, my lawyer Raffi Ohanian during such a stressful time in my life. My concerns were always addressed compassionately and in a timely manner. Raffi was extremely knowledgable in personal injury law, worked non-stop, diligently, keeping me informed through the whole process. I am very thankful to him and his team for an excellent outcome. I will be forever grateful and recommend him to anyone who needs an excellent lawyer.
