RAPHAN LAW PARTNERS, LLP

My husband and I have had a very positive experience with Matthew Raphan. From our first contact, he was warm, with a very reassuring, low-key style combined with top knowledge of senior law. I feel that responsiveness and communication skills are essential to success in any field. Matthew promptly returned calls or email queries. I feel very confident entrusting important matters to him and the firm of Raphan Law Partners. Highly recommended.

Brian Raphan and his firm have been representing me in a difficult and lengthy estate settlement case. From the beginning, he has given excellent advice, and is extremely knowledgeable. He is attentive to details and always available. He and his staff are extremely professional and on a personal note, kind. I am grateful, I had someone of his caliber representing me through this difficult situation.

We were referred by two friends to Brian Raphan's firm to revise our will and we highly recommend Brian and his team. We were hesitant at first that we would not be working directly with Brian, however, we had a great experience with his drafting attorney, Samantha Benidiba, and Brian overseeing the process. Samantha met with us online during the pandemic and did a great job advising us of the best trust and credit shelter options for our family. She was patient, thorough and very knowledgeable. We felt like she was able to answer all our questions. The end product was a will that we can understand and that honors our wishes and protects our interests. Fees are fair and perhaps better than other firms.

Raphan Law Partners was of great assistance to our family in multiple matters pertaining to our Aunt Lillian, both during her life and, ultimately, in her passing. Mr. Brian Raphan earned our respect with not only his level of professional handling of our aunt’s legal and financial affairs, but also by his level of care and attention to the details of her needs. After Lillian’s passing, Mr. Raphan was sure to clearly explain the process before us. He promptly answered questions and returned emails and text messages. We reside in Virginia and our business precluded travel to New York during this sad time. It was Mr. Raphan who provided for Lillian’s final wishes and completed them as directed in her Will. In addition, he coordinated internationally with all of Lillian’s nieces and nephews for the distribution of personal items and the proceeds of the Estate. On a personal note, I am grateful that Lillian had a trusted advisor that she was fortunate to find in Brian. Should I find myself in need of counsel in New York, I know my first call would be to Brian. Our thanks and gratitude.

1/1/2023 I would like to offer my great appreciation to Matthew Raphan and Tamesha Roberts, both of whom made the impossible happen during a time when the Manhattan Courts had closed down and a sad time when my cousin passed from Covid. Extremely knowledgeable and patient with my abundance of inquiries, they got the job done and got me through the probate procedure painlessly. Matthew was totally accessible and there was no delay in response either by phone or email. His professionalism is above and far beyond reproach. Tamesha, was my guardian angel, extremely capable and informed, and took excellent care of me during the process. We became friends, I’m happy to say. If you’re looking for a Law Firm that gives you personal service with great results, look no further. -Best Regards Phil Badome Nassau County NY
