Rafael grew up in Sequim, Washington. After graduating from the University of Washington, he attended Wake Forest Law School with a focus in trial law. Rafael’s mission is to help the injured on the Olympic Peninsula and beyond.

After law school, Rafael served as a Deputy Prosecuting Attorney in Jefferson County, Washington. Rafael fought hard for every victim and took over 75 cases to trial.
