I was impressed with the quality of advice as well as the calming effect Raffy has on the client in explaining the options to consider with clarity and patience during his initial consultation. I feel confident with his ability to represent my family with our existing case.

I called Raffy to see if he could help me with a real estate issue I was having. Raffy said that due to the time-consuming nature of my problem, he couldn’t help me but could refer me to another lawyer. But he graciously agreed to a 1-hour consultation. He is a great listener, and his advice was excellent. He drew upon years of legal experience, telling me what he thought I should do, and what my risks are with the various options I am considering. Frankly, he just comes across as someone with high integrity. He seems to derive satisfaction from doing an excellent job and cultivating a great reputation. I was amazed that at the end of our meeting he did not try to sell me on his services. I asked again if he could take my legal work, and he said he was too busy since he doesn’t like to outsource any legal work to other people, but prefers to do it all himself since that’s what his clients are expecting. I recommend that if you need legal advice, you call Raffy and see if he has time to help you. You won’t regret it.

Words cannot explain how impressed I am with Attorney Raffy Boulgourjian. I found him on the attorney website AVVO and am so truly thankful I did. I had rushed back to the country due to receiving court papers by a company claiming breach of contract (they were claiming I had signed to sell my house to them at 50% off market price and at 200k less than what I owed the bank) My house was NOT for sale, not to mention, I was out of the country when this supposed contract was signed. (Sidenote > fraudulent realty scheme > yes they filed papers in court & yes they put a lien on my house) I was searching for attorneys on AVVO and after researching and cross referencing with other attorney review sites I compiled a list of potential attorneys and started making calls. Raffy was the chosen one. Not only was he patient and helpful, during the initial phone call he attempted to walk me through the steps that I could take in order to resolve this on my own without retaining his services and incurring attorney fees --- apparently he had a client with the same type of case as mine, copy paste except for our names. I appreciated his honesty in trying to save me money but could not take any chances in attempting to handle this myself... He was the chosen ONE. I retained his services and am so glad that I did. He was available throughout the entire process via phone call and email, he kept me updated in detail anytime he had new information. He took care of it all, got the lien taken off of my house got the fraudulent case against me dropped basically did everything he had set out to do and all in a short period of time. He sent me monthly invoices with a breakdown showing me exactly what was billed and get this…. In the end I get a check back for the money’s not used. I am going to be honest, as I was with him, I did not expect any money back, I feel like he under billed, it would have been worth every single penny had he kept the entire retainer and, yes, I would have written a review regardless, but, I am so impressed with this final action on his part that I decided to go more in detail with the specifics on my case and rid you of any doubts.. If you are reading this review and you need an attorney then don’t hesitate to call him. I have never been impressed with attorneys and have actually sided with the term “Lawyer=Liar” but not anymore. Raffy Bougourjian is a Lawyer and is a straight forward and honest person. I am now a believer that there are good people who turn into great attorneys with an amazing work ethic. I would not hesitate to refer clients to him for as long as he is an attorney and I as long as I am alive  Thank you Raffy, I praise and applaud you. You are a godsend.

We provided seller financing to the buyer of our home a few years back. After a while the loan payments stopped from our buyer. It was a desperate and rather complex situation. Raffy was candid with our case, saying it was a tough one, but accepted the challenge. Everything was professionally handled and filed right before our window of opportunity to sue closed. Raffy continued to work efficiently and was very professional. The case even took a few unexpected turns, but he handled them with authority. Looking back, the whole process and the outcome were better than we've ever hoped for. Raffy, if you’re reading this – MANY THANKS!

I retained Mr. Boulgourjian to assist me with a complex real estate case over a year ago. I was previously represented by another attorney but my case ended up evolving further than initially expected and I found myself needing more of a litigation attorney. I was thus referred to Mr. Boulgourjian by one of his colleagues. There were many intricate facets to my case none more prevalent than the fact that I was suing a family member. Throughout the whole process Mr. Boulgourjian not only remainded extremely professional but was so comforting and understanding. As the case took its course, there were so many questions and concerns I had. Each time I brought one to his attention he was so informative and took his time explaining to me what to expect. One of the most reassuring aspects of our relationship was that he was always available. Whether it was email, phone, fax, or mail Mr. Boulgourjian never made me feel that I was not his main priority. I was also pleasantly surprised to find out that his fees were so fair and not at all inflated like so many other attorneys tend to do. After about a year my case was finally resolved. Throughout that time, Mr. Boulgourjian proved himself to be a man of such great integrity, knowledge, and humility. I am so very thankful for his help and friendship!

I purchased a house in late 2005 that was financed with a 7/1 hybrid ARM loan with an initial seven year interest only period. Not only was my timing bad, but the house turned out to be the proverbial "house from hell" and required approximately $75K in repairs and updates that I financed primarily with draws on my HELOC. Fast forward five years and the situation wasn't pretty - the house was worth $450K less than I paid for it, I was $250K "underwater" on my mortgages (which made refinancing impossible) and my first mortgage mortgage payments were scheduled to increase 25-40% in two years. I knew that my lenders weren't going to voluntarily modify my loans but I needed objective advice on assessing my options. Litigating with my lenders to seek debt relief, walking from the house and pursuing a short sale or deed in lieu of foreclosure all seemed like viable alternatives but I didn't have the experience to evaluate these options as there were so many issues to consider. If I sued my lenders would they come to the negotiating table or dig in their heels out of concern regarding the moral hazard? Would my lenders agree to a short sale that made economic sense or would they expect me to sign a note for the deficiency? If I wanted to pursue a short sale would I get a better result by having an attorney negotiate on my behalf? As an attorney I could spot these issues but I didn't have the personal experience to handicap the potential outcomes. Being self-conscious of my predicament and not knowing any peers that had been in my situation I decided to use the internet to find an attorney experienced in residential mortgage issues. I read several of Raffy's posted responses to questions from borrowers and thought that they showed sound logic and good judgment so I decided to give him shot. I knew from my first meeting with Raffy that I chose the right attorney. During my initial consultation with Raffy he convinced me that short sale was my best option even though I was predisposed to litigate and litigation would have been in his economic interest. Raffy also convinced me that a real estate agent that specialized in short sales could negotiate as good an outcome as he could. Raffy even referred me to such a real estate agent. I retained Raffy to represent me in the short sale process to ensure that I could obtain objective advice through the short sale process rather than relying solely upon my real estate agent. Five months after first meeting with Raffy I was out from under my house and approximately $200K of the $250K that I was underwater. I also have the comfort of knowing that I have been advised by competent counsel that my lender cannot pursue a deficiency judgment against me. And for all of the benefits of this outcome, Raffy was incredibly efficient with his time. During the entire five month process I was billed less than $500. I have worked with dozens of attorneys over the course of my career and Raffy ranks among the best. I can't imagine another attorney that could have done a better job of guiding me through my situation and reaching a successful resolution.

I found Raffy through a recommendation of a friend. My wife and I sat down with him to discuss what our specific situation was. It was quite complicated and involved a lot of family problems and sensitive matters. Raffy listened to us and gave us a sense of peace in the midst of all the chaos. Raffy turned a complicated situation into a organized and calm situation. He listened to every question we had and was readily available through phone, email, and even at times gmail chat. He did not charge for every single question or email and only for work directly related to the case like drafting a declaration or making an appearance in court. I have worked with attorneys who charge for everything, and do a lousy job. Many attorneys get a bad rap, but Raffy clearly sets a great example of how an attorney should be. Raffy not only counseled us with his legal expertise, but comforted us with his care and attention. In the end we won our judgement and gave us a great sense of closure. I would trust my parents, kids, and closest friends to Raffy and know he would treat them just like he treated me and my wife. If you have any kind of legal problem give him a call he most likely will make things a lot less chaotic.

I had been a landlord for 8 years before having to deal with an eviction. After a great deal of frustration trying to handle it myself, I sought help from Raffy. I appreciated his friendly service and prompt responses.

Raffy kept me informed throughout our case and answered all of the questions I had. He is patient and understanding. I recommend his services.

Mr. Boulgourjian represented my parents in a case that involved fraud. Since our first meeting with him we knew we had found the right lawyer. He listened to our case and immediately told us he could help . He always kept us informed on the progress and was very easy to get a hold of if we had any questions. Thanks to his services and knowledge we were very successful! We highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a honest, caring and efficient lawyer!
