Did not expect this good of a service

It would be difficult not to write this review. Robert is caring, thorough, and far exceeded my expectations compared to past experiences with attorneys. He digs deep, analyzes every angle, asks the right questions, and builds a strong defensive position — all while making you feel like someone is... truly in your corner, fighting for your best interests. He approaches his work with intention, professionalism, and kindness. It’s a different experience altogether, and I’m very grateful to have met him. Robert is reasonably priced, deeply cares about his clients, and it’s refreshing to know there are attorneys who ensure the law works for you, not against you — giving you a fair chance without letting others abuse the system. I couldn’t ask for more. Thank you, Robert! Give him a try — you’ll be just as pleasantly surprised as I was.

Fast & Responsive

Robert helped us get our business permits quickly and efficiently. He also reviewed our current contracts and drafted new ones we needed quickly. You should definitely work with him. We will be continuing our working relationship for a good while.

Great honest consultation

I was dealing with a partnership dispute and Robert offered a complimentary consultation explaining the different approaches I could take and was transparent on price. I decided not to move forward due to other factors but his initial consultation was very helpful and would definitely reach out for a...ny future issues.

Phenomenal Attorney & Legal Partner

Robert is a phenomenal attorney and legal advisor. I’ve been working with Robert on a complex contract dispute in which I was defrauded for several months now - Robert has been exemplary not only in his work product and representation, but even more, I appreciate his honesty, willingness to help and ...be a true legal partner/advisor, and how he is straight forward with me even if it means a cut to his bottom line. Robert does not nickel and dime and his pricing is transparent and extremely fair. I could not recommend Robert highly enough. He will give his 100% to you.

Real deal

this guy is the real deal. He has been my go-to lawyer for the last two years and he always take care of me when I am in trouble. Smart guy but also compassionate, so that's why I rely on him. Never seen one like him to be fully honest.

Contracts and agreements lawyer | May 05

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I litigated against Robert Rafii and I must say that I have never seen an attorney that matched my intensity in fighting for his client. Over the course of the two months in which we were representing our respective clients, no days or hours were off limits. We regularly exchanged emails and phone calls on nights and weekends. Attorneys representing defendants normally bill hourly, and it is very common to see such attorneys extending litigation for longer than necessary in order to bill their client excessive hours. Not Robert. We got a case that could have easily taken two years to resolve in two months. The settlement we achieved was very fair for all parties involved. We had our disagreements at times, but we did not let that adversely affect our clients. Thanks for the professionalism, I wish you the best of luck."

I am not only impressed by his knowledge, but that he manages to be an aggressive litigator that is nevertheless highly ethical. He sincerely cares about his clients and I think that also proves to be very effective for him. A lawyer with a heart of gold and nerves of steel. Glad to have him on my side! Highly recommended.
