This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Does not communicate with his clients

We hired Mr. Raskin to assist us with our child custody case. He is very good in front of the judge, I will give you that, but he didn't call us once before we went to court to talk about what was going on, if he needed us to bring anything, nothing. As an attorney about to go to court, I would thi...nk you should be in touch with your clients. We emailed him, called and left voice mails, and even texted him and no response back. We went to court not feeling very confident. After court, we would get the same treatment. We have been waiting for our new custody agreement for months now, and we can't get a reply back. We told him when we went to court a few months ago that we were going to court for child support a few months after our court date with him. He assured us he would have the new custody paperwork done and to us long before then. We go to court for child support on Monday and we still do not have the paperwork. If you want an attorney who will always be in touch with you, answer his phone, and/or call you back, AND fight for you in court, Mr. Raskin is not the attorney you want to hire.

Outstanding Lawyer

If you are Military and have Custody and Divorce issues, Joe Raskin is who you need!! He's aggressive, and does not put up with bull crap but fair. When no one wanted to take my case due to it seem so complicated. He step right in and pulled everything back in line, made sense of what needed to... be. He made me comfortable when I was in a very uncomfortable situation. Joe will fight ferociously for your rights and support you every step of the way. He is upfront about everything and manage your money very well. I highly recommend him 100%. You cannot go wrong with him.

Excellent Lawyer!

If you have legal issues, Joe Raskin is what you need!! He's aggressive, but fair. When things in my life were out of my control, he pulled them back in line, made sense of them and got me where I needed to be. He made me comfortable when I was in a very uncomfortable situation. Joe will fight fe...rociously for your rights and support you every step of the way. I feel lucky to have worked with him.
