I cannot recommend Rafael highly enough. His deep knowledge of the criminal justice system is exceptional, and his strategic insights have been invaluable. His ability to navigate complex legal challenges with precision and confidence sets him apart. He is not only a fierce advocate but also a compassionate guide through a daunting process. His dedication to achieving the best possible outcomes for me was evident in every aspect of his work. He helped me navigate through the complexities and stress of the proceedings, and followed through years later.

Can’t say enough good things about this man really gave me a 2nd chance at life. So grateful to have hired him to defend me. Always answered my calls and kept me calm in this difficult time in my life. I couldn’t have asked for a better verdict from the trial he was professional, worked hard, and generally cared about the case. Amazing man and an even better lawyer highly recommended.

Rafael Acosta saved my life. I made a huge mistake and was looking at a lot of prison time (High profile case). My family reached out to a lot of different lawyers, but my family choose Mr. Acosta who took my case at a fair price. He reassured my loved ones that he would do everything possible to get me the best and most fair deal. He always answered my phone calls while I was in county jail. I was very worried, scared, and confused but Mr. Acosta was always calm and told me that he had a strategy. He got me out of jail and from going to prison for 10+ years. I would recommend Rafael Acosta to anyone who needs a truly professional lawyer who cares. He took interest in my family and me. To this day we keep in touch with updates and just to say hello. Another happy client!!!!!! David Lowe

Rafael was one of the lawyers recommended by San Diego lawyer referral service. I needed to find a criminal lawyer immediately due to the unfortunate circumstances we were in as a family. After speaking with 3 other lawyers, I knew our family would be grateful for him to represent us. From inception, Rafael has kept us informed and assisted with exactly in how we were able to better help our family member who as in jail awaiting trial. He is caring, empathetic and extremely professional. I would highly recommend Rafael if I ever needed a criminal lawyer again if faced with a legal situation. Rafael is dedicated and will stay that way to the end. He is extremely smart and knows the law. Rafael was able to guide us in how we can assist our family better that is in jail and aide in that person having a better chance in lowering the charges or being set free. He is a family man with strong values and ethics.

Raphael Acosta handled a nuisance suit/restraining order brought by a nasty litigious neighbor with great skill, saving me a huge amount of time, money and headache. He is presently handling another matter for a friend - I am an experienced lawyer myself and know a good one when I see one. He has earned my strongest possible recommendation.
