"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.

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!

Most understanding and sensitive attorney I have ever met who also did the best job on our case!!!

I found Raffy through a recommendation of a friend. My wife and I sat down with him to discuss what our specific situation was. It was quite complicated and involved a lot of family problems and sensitive matters. Raffy listened to us and gave us a sense of peace in the midst of all the chaos. Ra...ffy turned a complicated situation into a organized and calm situation. He listened to every question we had and was readily available through phone, email, and even at times gmail chat. He did not charge for every single question or email and only for work directly related to the case like drafting a declaration or making an appearance in court. I have worked with attorneys who charge for everything, and do a lousy job. Many attorneys get a bad rap, but Raffy clearly sets a great example of how an attorney should be. Raffy not only counseled us with his legal expertise, but comforted us with his care and attention. In the end we won our judgement and gave us a great sense of closure. I would trust my parents, kids, and closest friends to Raffy and know he would treat them just like he treated me and my wife. If you have any kind of legal problem give him a call he most likely will make things a lot less chaotic.

Raffy Boulgourjian truly cares about his clients and is in it to win it!

Mr. Boulgourjian represented my parents in a case that involved fraud. Since our first meeting with him we knew we had found the right lawyer. He listened to our case and immediately told us he could help . He always kept us informed on the progress and was very easy to get a hold of if we had any qu...estions. Thanks to his services and knowledge we were very successful! We highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a honest, caring and efficient lawyer!

Raffy Boulgourjian is a valuable asset to his profession

From the first time I contacted him, I was able to receive prompt response to my e-mails and phone messages. Whenever I called him in a panic, he was able to calm me down and meet with me even when I was stuck in traffic and late for our appointment. After hearing our case, he was very honest with w...hat he could do and could not do for us. With his guidance and valuable inputs, we have achiveved a positive outcome with our home mortgage company. In conclusion, he is one of the very few lawyers that I have known who made me feel like I was the most important thing on his agenda for that moment rather than something he had to rush through to go his next meeting since my hour was almost up. I recommend him very highly.

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."
