Law Office of Feras S. Rafee

Mr. Rafee has been handling my immigration matters for the past few years and has done an excellent job in terms of diligence and professionalism. I have successfully been able to bring four of my family members to the United States and it is all thanks to him!! Aside from legal matters, Mr. Rafee is a respectful and caring individual who truly cares about his clients. I definitely recommend him for all matters, not only immigration.

I retained the Law office of Feras S. Rafee to handle my real estate and immigration matters. He has been successful on all of my matters. He has been a person of high integrity and honesty. I highly recommend him as an attorney in handling such matters.

Mr. Rafee is a great lawyer. Mr. Rafee handled my case from the beginning until I got my visa. He was reachable all the time. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking an immigration help

Stay away - I do not recommend using this firm at all! They are nice guys, easy to talk to, and I believe they are honest and have good intentions. HOWEVER, all that does not mean they are good lawyers. I had a very important legal matter with my commercial landlord. I was looking at a possible eviction for non-payment. I retained Feras Raffee and was expecting him to handle my case. Instead, he passed me onto Kim Zinke, Esq. (His Of-Counsel). I first I didn't mind because Kim was a nice guy. That was the biggest mistake of my life! To make a long story short, I had proof that I paid the rent and was current. That proof was included in my affidavit that Kim helped me to sign. We had a solid defense and should have gotten the case thrown out. Instead, on the day of trial, Kim starts talking to me about making a settlement, and signing some sort of stipulation. He recommended it, I did not know any better and two months later, I was evicted.

I lost my business and almost half of the assets in the 4,000 sq. ft. shop. That's my experience with this law firm. The business I worked in for 3 years was essentially ruined because of them. Also, I probably lost about $50,000 dollars worth of equipment, material, trucks, etc... This really put me in a pickle because all of a sudden I had no source of income. My finances crumbled shortly thereafter and I was even looking into filing Bankrupcy. After all that, I'm still grateful. I guess it could have been worse... I could have needed them to defend me on a felony charge where their incompetence would have gotten me arrested.

I hate to give negative reviews, because I had a small business once and know what it is like. But Kim was way too naive and a total pushover when going up against the landlord's attorney. Again, I think he's a nice guy, but that's the problem - you can't have a "nice guy lawyer". He was way out of his league. And Feras was too busy with whatever he was doing, that's why he passed me over to Kim.

My advice - NEVER sign any stipulation in court - EVER. I now consider that to be the easy way out for the attorney hired by any defendant. If they tell you to sign a stipulation, it's because they are too lazy, don't care, or unqualified. A judge will ALMOST ALWAYS be more leanient than the attorney of the guy suing you. Yet these dumb defense attorneys con us into a stipulation drafted by the plaintiff attorney. I'd rather take my chances with a judge, which by the way if you cannot meet the judge's timelines, then you can ask for more time BUT in a stipulation, its 1 STRIKE and YOU're OUT!
