"Dedicated defense lawyer with integrity, insight and commitment. Rafe did a fantastic job of understanding my situation and defending me. He was open minded and always eager to listen and work on my case. He came and visited me day, nights, weekends and worked diligently on my case. He always kept my best interest at heart and never wavered from this." - Don
