Claimed Lawyer Profile
Biography

I am a Christian attorney. I have been practicing for 20 years. I seek to get to the bottom of my clients' issues and problems rather than just fix the surface, so that they leave my office with greater insight as to how to avoid getting into legal trouble and problems in the future. My faith is a big part of my communication with my clients and plays a large role in how I approach my legal practice in general.

Mary Rafani-Steele, Attorney at Law
- Current
I began working with indigent clients at a legal aid office in Michigan, just outside Detroit. After I moved to California and passed the California Bar I worked for a firm in Visalia for a couple of years and then began my own practice. I enjoy the freedom of practicing law my own way.
