Rafael's primary office is at American International Plaza, 250 Muñoz Rivera Avenue, Suite 800, San Juan, PR, 00918-1813. In-person meetings are by appointment; a phone intake usually comes first.

Working with a new business attorney should feel structured. Here's how the first two conversations with Rafael usually go, from the moment you request a consult to the day representation begins.

Rafael discusses fees during intake so the arrangement fits the matter. Contingency, hourly, and flat-fee options are all common in business practice — ask which fits.

• How much does it cost to hire Rafael for a business case?

  Cost depends on the type of matter, the fee model (contingency, flat, hourly), and how contested the case becomes. Rafael walks through the likely range during the consult so there are no surprises.

• Does Rafael offer a free consultation?

  Rafael charges for the initial consult; that fee is credited toward representation if you retain Rafael's office. Some business attorneys offer free consults — check Rafael's current terms during booking.

• How long do business cases in this state typically take?

  Simple business matters can wrap in a few weeks; disputed cases can run 6–18 months from intake to resolution, longer if the matter goes to trial. Rafael gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Rafael take my case if I'm outside the area?

  Rafael evaluates matters case by case. If the venue is outside Rafael's regular jurisdictions, the intake call will confirm whether direct representation or a referral makes more sense.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Rafael?

  Bring every document that touches the dispute: contracts, correspondence, police or medical reports, filed pleadings, invoices, photographs, insurance letters. Also bring a written timeline of what happened, in your own words. Rafael will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.

• Is Rafael accepting new business clients right now?

  Rafael's intake status shifts week to week. Submit the form; the office will confirm availability or refer the matter out.
