Highly Skilled Attorney

I had the opportunity to work with Robert on a couple cases. Robert is a very smart, reliable and capable attorney. He is extremely knowledgeable in the law and always practices with the utmost professionalism. Robert is a highly skilled and hard working attorney who is always quick to respond to ...all questions and issues that arise. I would definitely recommend Robert's services and look forward to working with him on future cases.

Retooling Contract for California

This true gentleman constantly impressed us with his understanding of and passion for the law. We consulted with him in reference to independent contractors with whom we do business. Accordingly, we hired Mr. Rafii to retool our contracts for compliance with the newest California laws. He educated us... very patiently and made sure we understood everything. There was much to learn, but the entire process was highly satisfactory.

Very Satisfied

Robert is trustworthy and quick to respond to inquiries. He made himself available for an initial consultation at no charge and proceeded to advise me beyond what I expected. I hired Robert almost immediately thereafter and I wasn't disappointed. I am particularly impressed by how quickly he i...s able to read, explain, and suggest edits to a complex contract. His mastery of the law and passion for words is up to par with what I have come to expect from a great attorney. I am a satisfied client by all measures.

I recommend Mr. Rafii

Mr. Rafii responded to my emails and questions quickly and updated me if he couldn't respond right away. It was only a consultation, so I don't know how he is in a courtroom, but I was pleased with his thoroughness and his assistance on my legal matter.

Gave Me Hope & A New Beginning

I am lucky I met Robert when I did. I found him online when I needed an attorney to help me with the return of some very treasured personal possessions. It was difficult to find a lawyer that I could trust because I didn't know anyone and most of my friends kept recommending the same ones that they... saw in TV commercials. There are better lawyers out there, people! Robert is living proof. Upon first contact, Robert was very courteous and helpful on the phone. He immediately made time for me and patiently listened to the details of my case as I shared them for over one hour. He asked me the right questions and gave the right advice. When we met at his office, Robert had already completed most of the work I needed before I even arrived! Robert wrote several beautiful letters and handled multiple phone calls on my behalf. He negotiated a very fair outcome and I was able to get my possessions returned to me very quickly. All of this happened after two lawyers before Robert tried and failed miserably, and they were both old enough to be Robert's father. I am not one to usually do online reviews, but I felt compelled to do this one. You don't often run into someone like Robert... TREASURE IT WHEN YOU DO.

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.
