"I highly endorse this lawyer. He is brilliant and highly knowledgeable. He does his best for each client and achieves amazing results with skill. A first rate-top notch criminal defense attorney!"
"Rafael was my supervisor when I interned at the San Francisco Public Defender's Office. He brings a no-nonsense, practical approach to his cases coupled with an intricate knowledge of criminal law. I was blown away by his ability to issue spot defenses and negotiate great resolutions while managing a massive case load, and yet still make time to address the personal needs of his clients. He taught me fundamental techniques necessary for a successful practice that I use on a daily basis. I continue to seek advice from him regarding my cases and there has never been a question for which he did not have an immediate answer. You could not ask for a better attorney."
"I endorse Rafael Trujillo. Through my 17 years working at the Bar Association of San Francisco, I have come to know the work of over 100 San Francisco criminal defense attorneys and if someone were to ask me for a referral to a local criminal defense attorney, Rafael would be the first attorney on my referral list. He is an excellent, ethical, experienced and driven criminal defense lawyer who will do everything he can to protect his clients' Constitutional Rights to a fair trial, finding reasonable doubt when many less experienced criminal defense attorneys fall short."
