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.
