I hired Raul to represent my dad on a assault case. From day one he listed attentively to his case and presented all the possible solutions. We needed his case to be completely dismissed as my dad needed it for his immigration case. Raul went above and beyond to make sure the process was as smooth as possible. He even was in constant communication with the immigration lawyer to make sure he had everything he needed for my dad’s case. Communication was the best as he always made sure to give us constant updates as the case went on. ...

I was 4-5 months behind on rent with a tenant in Elizabeth. It’s was a horrible tenant. Lying/ manipulating/ unworkable person. Caused me so much grief!
My previous experiences with lawyers have not been top notch. I contact Raul, after some research.- He walked me through the process and heard my pain. Within two hours of me hiring him he filed the case! We were on track! Subsequently Raul was “always ahead” of process/ case. He went through our two zoom hearing with the judge.

He was so well prepared! In small succinct words, he lead wonderfully! - Literally I had to do nothing! Raul was so diligent and professional in his approach - on his vacation overseas - his vacation - he would still work on the case! Deeply acknowledge this kind of “ high professionalism”. The tenant has been served warrant of removal! Is headed out! Thanks to this amazing lawyer - my peace of mind is back! Can’t thank him enough! 7 stars -all the earth way!
