John Watts, Litigation Attorney on Aug 4, 2016
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I endorse this lawyer. I have been in private practice for 20 years in the Town of Clinton. I've known Attorney Rigat for the 17 years. Ray served as a Judge of Probate in the Town of Clinton and as an attorney in a solo practice. Ray is an active member in the Federal Bar and State Bar. Ray is diligent and capable of handling most civil litigation. Ray seeks to counsel and advance his client's interest.
Ray is a top-flight trial and appellate lawyer. He has obtained extraordinary results for his clients in both state and federal trial and appellate courts. Ray has litigated cases throughout the country. He has a very unique background as a military attorney, a probate judge, corporate counsel, a law firm partner, and a professor. His unique experience, coupled with his incredible talent and stellar intellect, make him the obvious first choice for litigation matters.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I wholly recommend Ray Rigat. I first encountered Ray when we were opposing counsel in a personal injury case. I was impressed by Ray's expert legal acumen and dedication to all aspects of his client's case. Ray approached every issue in the case, no matter how large or small, with the same zeal and commitment. Just as important, Ray unwaveringly displayed that somewhat rare combination of fierce advocacy and congenial, respectful professionalism. It was the combination of those qualities that fostered a resolution of our case. The high esteem in which I hold Ray is best evidenced by the fact that a couple of years after opposing him in that initial lawsuit, I had a client of my own in need of representation in Connecticut. I referred that client to Ray and wholly recommended she retain him. I feel a personal responsibility when I refer clients to other attorneys to ensure they receive expert and professional representation. I know firsthand that Ray's clients receive just that.

I have been an attorney in Connecticut for over 30 yrs and have known Ray for over 15 yrs. During that time I have worked with Atty Rigat on numerous occasions. I have always found him to be conscientious and diligent. In every matter in which I have worked with Ray, he has been fully prepared and in command of the relevant law. Moreover, he is a tireless advocate who is willing to "take on" the most complex of matters. Intelligent, moral, empathetic, capable and responsive; these are just some of the qualities which enable me to recommend Ray to anyone without hesitation.
