Angelica Velman joined the Raphael Barristers medical legal team in 2005.
After completing an Honors Bachelor Degree in Psychology and a Post Graduate Diploma in Clinical Behavioral Sciences, Angelica went on to develop a specialized interest in traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury.
She served the catastrophically injured client in the community as a case manager / rehabilitation consultant for the insurance sector for 14 years prior to joining Raphael Barristers. Angelica further trained, and clinically practiced administration and evaluation of adult and pediatric neuropsychological testing. She also was a member of a Catastrophic Determination team. Her education and training well prepared her to work with individuals and families who have been victimized by serious and catastrophic injuries.
Angelica adds a unique touch to Raphael Barristers in that she personally works with each and every client, family and rehabilitation team advocating for the client from early intervention often still in hospital right throughout their rehabilitation and recovery until their claim has been successfully resolved.
Our clients rest assured that along with the exceptional legal intervention they will receive from our lawyers at Raphael Barristers, they will also have the advantage of having Angelica personally supervise each and every aspect of their medical and rehabilitation needs.
I was in a motorcycle accident and retained Jeffrey Raphael to represent me. I had been charged with careless driving and the insurer of my motorcycle told me my insurance had lapsed. Jeff was able to get the charges dropped, reinstate my insurance and settle my case for $1.5 million.

I sustained catastrophic injuries in a car accident. I hired a lawyer from the yellow pages but was not happy with the job they did for me. I then retained Jeffrey Raphael to take over my law suit. Jeff did an excellent job and was able to settle my case for more than I expected. Jeff kept me updated on all the developments in my case and was very knowledgeable about the law. I would not hesitate to recommend him. - D.S.
