Raanan shows great empathy but always kept me heading the direction that was best for me

Raanan has always made himself available to talk and deal with my matter at all times of the day, evening and even at weekends. His advice has always had my best interest at the forefront and the executed actions in the appropriate time, should that have been quickly and otherwise. Raanan shows great empathy but always kept me heading the direction that was best for me. Going to a solicitor very early in a matrimonial situation is wise and I would heartily recommend Raanan and Berlad Graham. Liron Noy

Raanan suggested a different approach of ACTUALLY solving the problem and not just being right

After a year and a half with my previous lawyer I have found Mr. Berlad with a help of a dear friend of mine.  I was all alone in this battle since I didn’t want to involve my family.  It’s been hard year for me when I couldn't see my kids. Raanan suggested a different approach of ACTUALLY solving the problem and not just being right. I don’t like to fight, I’m always looking for solutions and Raanan is the same, the only difference was that the court is familiar to him. In less than 3 months I was able to bring my son back to me without even fighting one second at the court. I recommend to all lost men out there who suffer to use the services of Mr. Berlad, he will know how to talk to the other side and to advise you on which course to walk, so the solution will be on your side and most important the fast way.

Raanan’s professionalism and sensitivity kept me going through a case that had some very difficult times. As well as his legal advice Raanan also provided me with a great deal of support. I have only got praise for his ability as a lawyer; he is fantastic. He made me feel comfortable at all times, not only in his professional advice and the way he explained it to me but in making me feel like a valued and respected customer; Berlad Graham LLP certainly understands how to provide exceptional customer service. Raanan fully understands what you say to him and deals with you in the most sensitive and professional way; he is completely clear when advising you; no legal jargon, just plain-speaking English. At all times I was kept abreast of the case and advised in a very prompt and efficient manner. I felt I was able to call Raanan at any time to ask a question; nothing was too much trouble. Raanan and Berlad Graham LLP have carefully thought about what a customer is, what their expectations are and then exceeds those expectations. If you only ever use a solicitor, or a solicitors practice, once in your life, you must make sure it is Raanan Berlad and Berlad Graham LLP. Anne Warnes

I wish to thank Raanan from the bottom of my heart for his excellent legal service

I wish to thank Raanan from the bottom of my heart for his excellent legal service. I approached the firm to deal with a very complex legal issue.  Due to the expertise required the matter was referred to Raanan, one of the partners.  After consultation, Raanan decided to engage a barrister to advise on a particular point. From the moment I instructed Raanan and until the matter was concluded I must commend him for his professionalism, expertise and exceptional  customer service.  Although we have had to spend more time than agreed and anticipated Raanan has charged me the fees agreed initially for which I was pleasantly surprised.  However, Raanan did not slow down at all in his effort, investigation and analysis which helped me immensely in making decisions. I have no doubt that I will continue instructing Raanan and his firm in any legal issue required.  I feel reassured being in such good hands and I will recommend Raanan and the firm to anyone wishing to instruct a highly professional and excellent firm of solicitors.

He has never failed to deliver on his promises and always exceeds expectations

Raanan distinguishes himself in his willingness to deliver exceptional customer service. He has never failed to deliver on his promises and always exceeds expectations, whether in returning phone calls or offering sensible legal advice. In fact, he offers more than just legal advice, he has an extraordinary ability to get you to look at the big picture and avoid making mistakes. His ability to advise on law and tactics is exceptional and he has the ability to relate to his clients and empathise with their situation and concerns. I have always followed his advice and it has saved me a lot of time and money. He always thinks about what is best for the client when he is conducting a case and ensures that the money you are paying for his services is always used in the most effective way. I will be using Raanan and Berlad Graham continuously in the future for my legal requirements because I know I will be treated well and be well-advised. Sally Wilkinson
