Highly Recommended
I highly recommend Urquia Law, and would like to thank Rafael and Eva for their kind support and expertise. They were recommended to me in late 2017 after a rental car I was driving was hit by a drunk driver. Initially I didn’t understand the need for an attorney, but quickly realized the value ...

Dedicated experts
I reached out to Urquia Law after I was in a car accident. At first, I was dealing with the insurance companies by myself, which was very overwhelming. I then contacted Urquia Law and they handled the entire process. They were very responsive, knowledgable, kept me up-to-date with everything, and wou...

Automobile accident

"I have worked with Rafael on a number of cases over the past few years, and I have found him to be a skilled and compassionate attorney. He works hard to make sure his clients are well-informed and well-taken care of when they find themselves in need of a personal injury attorney, and he is successful in getting them the compensation they deserve when bad things happen to nice people. Hiring Rafael is a great choice if you want to work with a lawyer who you can trust to do his best for you."
"As a defense attorney I have gone up against Rafael many times. He has fought for his clients the right way. He works hard to put together a good case and makes it difficult for opposing counsel. Whenever I've defended a lawsuit against Rafael I've known he would relentlessly seek the best outcome for his clients in an honorable way."
"I have worked with Rafael and his law firm on several cases involving medical malpractice and automobile negligence cases. Rafael is an exceptional attorney, works well with clients, and his office is fantastic to work with. Rafael is also a really skilled trial lawyer. He is one of the select attorneys that has had jury verdicts and actually has the guts to try cases to juries. I highly endorse this lawyer."
