This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Best advocate!

I run a small consulting company and after 9 months of working with a client on a monthly service contract he had his attorney write an aggressive letter asking for the last 6 months (120 hours) worth of details on what I provided him with. With no avail I reached out to Dan as I didn't want to try ...to deal with an attorney. He wrote a letter, called and assisted me in my document preparation. After all said and done, Dan saved me from a court case and $12,000!

Great Attorney

Dan helped me to understand what all of the legal jargin was and took his time and if I had any questions he would not continue until it was clear. If I need an attorney for the same issue I would for sure get Dan to help me.

I would recommend this attorney

Prior to my signing a work agreement for consulting work, Daniel did an excellent job of reviewing the document presented to me by the company. I greatly appreciated his ability to explain to me, in language that I could understand, the potential issues that could arise from the stated terms of the a...greement and to suggest alternative approaches. I also appreciated his ability to work efficiently to accomplish the review within the amount of time that seemed consistent with the task.

Daniel Raff is Excellent Attorney

Daniel Raff did an exceptional job reviewing a contract for me when I was considering a business opportunity. He explained very clearly what the concerns with the contract were. I forwarded those specific concerns to the people I was doing business with and they actually offered to pay me for them, b...ecause they also found them to be very valuable. Dan was also very clear about what he expected of me and what I could expect of him. Not many people communicate so well these days. It was especially refreshing to have a relationship with a lawyer go so smoothly. I would recommend Dan to anyone else that needs an attorney in the future.
