Vehement!!!!!!

This young lady knows what shes doing. She fights for you like her only client. Very professional and seriously makes you feel that your in great hands. She took on a challenge regarding my domestic violence case and had it dismissed. She was my PD but felt like I had hired a million dollar attorney.... Forever grateful.

Greatness

Raquel went above and beyond the call of duty to fight my case. Her discoveries and efforts were key in bringing my case down to lesser charges. She was available any time I needed her and managed expectations very well. She is truly a great person and will stand up for you.

Lesson learned. There is always hope!

Sometimes you find yourself in trouble whether you like it or not. I myself was going through a tough time and was in a funk leading me to an unexpected DUI. At the time I had never been in trouble with the law so being cuffed and sent to jail was eye opening. The first question that comes to mind is... "what do I do?" I asked my brother who is in law in New York City and he referenced me to Raquel. From day one she was understanding but most importantly driven for what's right. Everyday her spirits were high and she was always keeping me updated in a situation I was totally new to. If it wasn't for her my composure would have been long gone seeing that my anxiety levels can go off the charts! Raquel is young and knowleagdle which I think gives her an edge and motivation that someone needs when they are in a situation not like themselves. I can say that I gained just as much on the side of law as I did personally with understanding what I need to work on. My final results were very lucky which I cannot take for granted but I will tell you that Raquel set a high bar and her peers respect that. Only good honest people are taken on their word and Raquel seeks for that justice. I am very grateful and have learned my lesson.

Handling a Costly Speeding Ticket

Raquel handled my case through Kavinoky Law Firm. I had been pulled over for a rather large speeding ticket. She presented me with all of my options and not ever having a speeding ticket of that magnitude, she provided me with her professional opinion on how I should proceed. She was very trust worth...y and appeared in court on my behalf, making the whole situation pleasant and non-stressful for me. She got my case dismissed and let me know the same morning. Her professionalism and communication was great and I would recommend her services to anyone in need of a great traffic attorney.

Raquel Jakobovich, a true professional

From the moment that I met Raquel, I knew that I was in the presence of a true professional. After introductions Ms. Jakobovich directed me to a private room where she began to explain all of the things that she was prepared to do to fight for me. I must admit, that nerves had gotten the best of me a...t this point. Her experience in her field put me at ease right away, she was a fountain of knowledge. Ms. Jakobovich had hand drawn sketches with timelines explaining exactly what would happen and when, depending on the District Attorney's choices concerning my case. She explained previous cases similar to mine, and their outcomes. I cannot imagine a better result than the one the one that I received by hiring the Kavinoky Law Firm. Everything went exactly as Ms. Jakobovich said that it would, and I walked away from the court house feeling happy and confident that I had made the right decision. To whom it may concern; I understand that Raquel has been with the firm for ten plus years, and let me say that the investment of time and resources was well worth it. She is an asset to your firm and the sole reason that I will refer your firm to anyone that I know that may require your services. Thank you Mr. Kavinoky, Thank you Ms. Jakobovich. P.s. I would welcome a phone call from any of Ms. Jakobovich's superiors, as the keyboard cannot convey my feelings on this subject as well as a real conversation would permit.

"In criminal defense, it is rare to see a lawyer pay attention to detail, to write beautiful motions, to leave no stone un-turned. Raquel is that rare lawyer that pours her heart and soul into each case. She is tireless advocate, always challenging the prosecution, the court and the state of the law. But what makes her stand out is her is sense of commitment to each case no matter how big or a little case it is. Raquel's work ethic delivers peace of mind to her clients and to her colleagues."

"Raquel is a young attorney waiting to take on any battle. She has a hunger to learn and hard work put in front of her only means she will do what it takes to be prepared and ready to fight for her clients. She goes home only when the work is done, not when the clock strikes a particular hour. She is a fantastic addition to the California legal community and I know I can expect great things from her as time progresses."

"I’m so delighted that Raquel Jakobovich is part of The KLF family. They demonstrate a commitment to delivering Peace of Mind to all of our clients that is truly awesome. Raquel knows that our clients care about getting the best possible result, having the best experience of being represented, and feeling fought for and cared about. My ultimate test when hiring an associate is whether I would want them going to battle on my behalf. There is simply no question that when it comes to Raquel, I would jump in a foxhole with them without hesitation."
