2010-11-14 11:50:24   I have consulted with Raphael before and found him to be very knowledgeable on a range of business-related topics. The thing I like most is that he doesn't just tell you the facts, he explains what it means to the real-life running of your business as a whole. I would recommend him highly. —PatesBaroni

2011-02-04 22:27:16   I've been meaning to post here for quite a while. Raphael Moore was extremely helpful with a complicated immigration issue. He patiently explained the process, the office staff was efficient and friendly, and as the months went by they nudged things along with gentle reminders. When part of the process fell through they — get this! — refunded that portion of the fees. Overall I highly recommend Raphael and commend the office staff. He also happens to be a symphony violinist. —DonShor
