One of the main questions we get asked by our clients (and even our friends) is “What’s the real difference between a law firm like Raff and Raff and the lawyers I see on TV or on the billboards?”
We are always happy to answer this question, as the difference is quite a big deal, when it comes to protecting you and your family,(and making sure you are fairly compensated).
For a start: Our Roots Go Deep
Since our founding over 100 years ago, Raff & Raff has been an integral part of the Northern New Jersey community. While massive law firms spread themselves thin across multiple states, our focus has remained steadfast: serving our neighbors with the dedication and personal attention they deserve. This isn’t just about longevity – it’s about the depth of understanding and relationships we’ve built over generations.
So what’s the difference?
Personal Attention in an Age of Mass Marketing
Many large firms operate on a volume-based model, taking on hundreds of cases simultaneously. While this approach might work for their business model, it often means:
- Your case gets handed off to junior associates
- You rarely speak with the same person twice
- Your unique circumstances get lost in the shuffle
- Important details might be overlooked in the rush to settle
At Raff & Raff, we take a fundamentally different approach. When you work with our firm, you’re not just another case number – you’re part of our extended family. This means:
- Direct access to experienced attorneys who handle your case personally
- Consistent communication with the same legal team throughout your case
- Thorough attention to every detail of your situation
- Strategic decisions based on your specific needs, not assembly-line justice
Beyond the Billboards: Real Results Matter
While some firms spend millions on advertising, we’ve built our reputation the old-fashioned way: one satisfied client at a time. Our track record spans generations, with many families trusting us to handle cases for their children and grandchildren. This kind of loyalty isn’t earned through catchy slogans – it comes from consistent, reliable service and genuine care for our clients’ well-being.
The Advantage of Experience Over Advertising
Consider this: when you see a massive billboard or flashy TV commercial, who’s paying for that advertising? Ultimately, it’s the clients. Large firms need to maintain high volumes of cases to support their marketing budgets. At Raff & Raff, we prefer to invest our resources in what matters most: providing exceptional legal representation to our clients.
The Power of Local Knowledge
Our century of experience in Paterson has given us invaluable advantages that benefit our clients:
- Deep familiarity with local courts and their procedures
- Established relationships with medical providers and specialists
- Understanding of local insurance companies’ tactics and tendencies
- Recognition and respect from judges and opposing counsel

When you choose Raff & Raff, you’re not just hiring a law firm – you’re partnering with a team that has been part of Paterson’s fabric for over a century. We understand that personal injury cases aren’t just about compensation; they’re about helping our neighbors rebuild their lives after difficult circumstances.

Making the Choice for You and Your Family
When selecting a personal injury attorney, consider what matters most:
- Do you want to be treated as a person or a case number?
- Would you prefer direct access to experienced attorneys or dealing with multiple junior associates?
- Is local reputation and community standing important to you?
- Do you value personal attention over mass-market approach?
