Hired Attorney

He was my 3rd lawyer for my divorce case, its hard to find someone who cares, fight for what is right and don’t abuse of the fees in the family court. I don’t have words to express how amazing he was, he really work in my case directly, he really sit down with me to check all, he cared for my case, he was reachable always!, he was amazing on my hearing, I repeat, he knows how to handle a hearing, you could tell he study my case, and worked hard to get the best outcome, and he did it, he object when he need it too. He didn’t racket my bill for no reason. He learn my case in the short time we had and didn’t try to settle with the other party.l, like my 2nd lawyer did behind my back, he knows very well the laws. His team was on point on everything, my case was hard, but he took the challenge, and won! Also big thanks to her paralegal, she is just like him. From the bottom of my hearth he was a blessing for me & my son and I do appreciate all your hard work.

Mr. Rabby was recommended by a friend when I had charges against me and he did not disappoint. He was very honest, thorough, and compassionate when defending me. I would recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone seeking a great defense.

Giving 1 star is still giving to much. When I first met with Chris Rabby I was open and honest about the case. I after I gave him everything he should need and what we needed as clients. I gave him time to review the case. He told make promises and support the way We needed the case handled. After months of no communication and nothing done correctly on the case I noticed he lies just to get the case. I have alot more details I will be sharing after the bill is handled.

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

You should be aware that the information we rely upon may not be comprehensive, or frequently updated.

Always research the lawyer further to get a better understanding of their license credentials, disciplinary status, background, and experience.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions
