TRUST HIS PROCESS. Take it from someone who Mr. Morales got their case dismissed! I got tangled in a bad situation that did not express my true character and Mr. Morales from the start was supportive and attentive to everything I had to say. His assistant Joanne was always on top of things as well. Overall, if you need an experienced attorney to represent you, dont hesitate. And again, trust his process.

Rafael C. Morales represented me in a felony case. It was not cheap, but he certainly got the job done. I'm not sure whether the cases typically take two years to finish, but my case did. This was perhaps somewhat because of the pandemic. I was certainly very nervous for these two years. I"m 71 years old and was never in any other trouble in my life before this.
Whenever I spoke to him about what might happen, he would calmly tell me not to worry, he will take care of it. At first, I was not sure how much to trust him, since I've never met him in person. He is in Texas and I live in New Jersey

***CASE DISMISSED***
I came to Rafael at one of the worse times of my life. I knew nothing about family violence cases so I consulted with Rafael. He was magnanimous with his time, generous with his knowledge and straight forward with his talk. He cut through all the legal-speak and broke it down for me, outlining what is the law, what is the norm and what are my options. He was far more concerned about what was best for me and what I needed than hooking me in for his services. A good man and a credit to his profession.
I firmly believe a person's character is on display when there truly is nothing

I was very lost looking for information and help for my husband's case. When I called, Mr. Morales himself answered very kind and ready to help. He literally looked up my husband right then and there to help me. He informed me of his situation and of what could be done to help him. He was sincere in telling me that I could save my money because my husband's situation isn't really going to change based on what lawyer he has but more what the lawyer does and how fast he does it. (pretty much a public attorney can do the same). I think that speaks highly of him. I just wish I could have gotten him
