Honesty is Everything !

I was impressed with the quality of advice as well as the calming effect Raffy has on the client in explaining the options to consider with clarity and patience during his initial consultation. I feel confident with his ability to represent my family with our existing case.

Excellent Attorney

I called Raffy to see if he could help me with a real estate issue I was having. Raffy said that due to the time-consuming nature of my problem, he couldn’t help me but could refer me to another lawyer. But he graciously agreed to a 1-hour consultation. He is a great listener, and his advice was e...xcellent. He drew upon years of legal experience, telling me what he thought I should do, and what my risks are with the various options I am considering. Frankly, he just comes across as someone with high integrity. He seems to derive satisfaction from doing an excellent job and cultivating a great reputation. I was amazed that at the end of our meeting he did not try to sell me on his services. I asked again if he could take my legal work, and he said he was too busy since he doesn’t like to outsource any legal work to other people, but prefers to do it all himself since that’s what his clients are expecting. I recommend that if you need legal advice, you call Raffy and see if he has time to help you. You won’t regret it.

"Honest Attorney" not an oxymoron

Words cannot explain how impressed I am with Attorney Raffy Boulgourjian. I found him on the attorney website AVVO and am so truly thankful I did. I had rushed back to the country due to receiving court papers by a company claiming breach of contract (they were claiming I had signed to sell my hou...se to them at 50% off market price and at 200k less than what I owed the bank) My house was NOT for sale, not to mention, I was out of the country when this supposed contract was signed. (Sidenote > fraudulent realty scheme > yes they filed papers in court & yes they put a lien on my house) I was searching for attorneys on AVVO and after researching and cross referencing with other attorney review sites I compiled a list of potential attorneys and started making calls. Raffy was the chosen one. Not only was he patient and helpful, during the initial phone call he attempted to walk me through the steps that I could take in order to resolve this on my own without retaining his services and incurring attorney fees --- apparently he had a client with the same type of case as mine, copy paste except for our names. I appreciated his honesty in trying to save me money but could not take any chances in attempting to handle this myself... He was the chosen ONE. I retained his services and am so glad that I did. He was available throughout the entire process via phone call and email, he kept me updated in detail anytime he had new information. He took care of it all, got the lien taken off of my house got the fraudulent case against me dropped basically did everything he had set out to do and all in a short period of time. He sent me monthly invoices with a breakdown showing me exactly what was billed and get this…. In the end I get a check back for the money’s not used. I am going to be honest, as I was with him, I did not expect any money back, I feel like he under billed, it would have been worth every single penny had he kept the entire retainer and, yes, I would have written a review regardless, but, I am so impressed with this final action on his part that I decided to go more in detail with the specifics on my case and rid you of any doubts.. If you are reading this review and you need an attorney then don’t hesitate to call him. I have never been impressed with attorneys and have actually sided with the term “Lawyer=Liar” but not anymore. Raffy Bougourjian is a Lawyer and is a straight forward and honest person. I am now a believer that there are good people who turn into great attorneys with an amazing work ethic. I would not hesitate to refer clients to him for as long as he is an attorney and I as long as I am alive  Thank you Raffy, I praise and applaud you. You are a godsend.

Dealing with a non-paying debtor

We provided seller financing to the buyer of our home a few years back. After a while the loan payments stopped from our buyer. It was a desperate and rather complex situation. Raffy was candid with our case, saying it was a tough one, but accepted the challenge. Everything was professionally handled... and filed right before our window of opportunity to sue closed. Raffy continued to work efficiently and was very professional. The case even took a few unexpected turns, but he handled them with authority. Looking back, the whole process and the outcome were better than we've ever hoped for. Raffy, if you’re reading this – MANY THANKS!

Partition Case Client

I retained Mr. Boulgourjian to assist me with a complex real estate case over a year ago. I was previously represented by another attorney but my case ended up evolving further than initially expected and I found myself needing more of a litigation attorney. I was thus referred to Mr. Boulgourjian b...y one of his colleagues. There were many intricate facets to my case none more prevalent than the fact that I was suing a family member. Throughout the whole process Mr. Boulgourjian not only remainded extremely professional but was so comforting and understanding. As the case took its course, there were so many questions and concerns I had. Each time I brought one to his attention he was so informative and took his time explaining to me what to expect. One of the most reassuring aspects of our relationship was that he was always available. Whether it was email, phone, fax, or mail Mr. Boulgourjian never made me feel that I was not his main priority. I was also pleasantly surprised to find out that his fees were so fair and not at all inflated like so many other attorneys tend to do. After about a year my case was finally resolved. Throughout that time, Mr. Boulgourjian proved himself to be a man of such great integrity, knowledge, and humility. I am so very thankful for his help and friendship!

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I am cautious and often reluctant to make referrals because I have found that I put my own relationship and credibility on the line if the person to whom I make a referral does not provide the highest level of service. With that said, I have many times in the past, and I will certainly in the future, refer my clients, friends and family to Raffy Boulgourjian. Raffy is knowledgeable, pragmatic, fair and personable. In every instance that I referred a client to Raffy for a civil or collections matter, Raffy successfully accomplished the clients’ goals. In fact, clients who I referred to Raffy thank me for making the introduction."
