  • Testimonials

    • Mr. Jaffe has represented me on numerous occasions over the past dozen years, all with successful outcomes. Knowledgeable, professional, diligent.
      Aggressive in pursuing cases to completion, while managing to be courteous and empathetic to my family and me. Not an easy balance to strike, and one at which many attorneys fail miserably. He has battled my cases as if they were threats to him personally, and I couldn't imagine engaging anyone else to help me other than Richard Jaffe.

      Richard Jaffee is an attorney who has performed several small to moderately involved legal projects for me. I can say that I have never had an attorney as easy to work with, show attention to detail and my needs, as well as experience the results I was looking for. He is without hesitation my first line 'go to' lawyer for any need that arises. I endorse him enthusiastically and without qualifications.
