TESTIMONIALS

Raees was very knowledgeable in the niche topic of slander/libel/defamation. The initial consult fee was worth every penny, and I was happy to spend more on a follow-up consultation. The advice was exactly what I needed to make things right, and I was fully informed on my options in dealing with a difficult situation.

JOHN HILGEMAN

Raees is by far, the best attorney in the game, that I’ve ever experienced (I have experienced a whole lot). I have been doing business with this gentleman, for over 2 years now. With that being said, when Raees accepts my request for counsel, it’s like an Angel has picked you up off the ground. His true self is all in for you and you can rest assure, knowing he will submit the best workmanship when he’s completed.
I’m not just making this up. You know that joke: “do you know when a lawyer is lying?” : “it’s when his lips are moving.” lol not here. You truly will be blessed with the same. Thank you, so much, Raees and Julie for top notch, service, workmanship and remedies. I consider you guys family!

I was hit by a drunk driver and suffered serious injuries. Even with insurance coverage, I had over $45k in hospital bills (3 surgeries). A friend referred me to Raees Mohamed. He was very professional and regularly updated me on the case. Raees helped me get significant compensation, for which I am eternally grateful

ABBAS KHAN

I was in a horrific head on car accident when a driver turned left in front of me. The speed I was driving at time of impact was 50 MPH.
I felt I needed an Attorney to help me with my rights and after days of research I met Attorney Raees Mohamed with RM Warner Law. Upon our meeting, I was instantly impressed by his character, knowledge and professionalism. I knew I would be in the best hands with Raees and I was right.
Attorney Raees Mohamed and team at RM Warner Law were caring, diligent and easy to work with throughout the entire process while providing regular updates via phone and email. I always knew about my case without the need to ask about my case.

This review addresses RM Warner Law and one of their partners, Raees Mohamed. Ten years ago I opened my business and contacted Raees Mohamed for legal help. He has been a tremendous asset, right from the beginning , making sure I was protected from ANY misfortune. The legal side of a business runs deep and is very detailed. Having a lawyer like Raees has broadened my prospective in ALL matters concerning my business and I HIGHLY recommend him to anyone who is building a business or has a business that needs professional legal attention. Thank you Raees !!!

MARK SYRACUSE

I am deeply grateful to both Raees and Dan for their counsel regarding several defamatory online posts. You won’t find more pleasant, responsive, efficient and supportive attorneys. Because they understand the internet from both technical and legal perspectives, they integrate brilliant strategies with their legal services. In each of my cases, they have taken an interest in the details and provided thoughtful, successful solutions. Online review sites can be a nightmare for physicians and I am fortunate to have Raees and Dan on my side when the need arises.

Superb attorney, highly recommend Raees Mohamed! Truly a top e-commerce lawyer that has guided me through complicated internet law issues, and for a very reasonable fee I might add.

ADIL KHAN

Raees Mohamed was the catalyst for finally putting to rest a dispute I had with a poisonous ex partner in a software company. Raees was cool minded and offered various angles for tackling the problem, having a keen understanding of how the mind of the partner worked. Thank you, Raees !
