This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Terrible experience

Terrible experience. Raymond is arrogant, curt, defensive, rude, and a horrible at his job. Wouldn’t let me get a word in edgewise, Very rude and disrespectful. My idea of a nightmare attorney. Would never call him again. Avoid!!

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

His integrity, skill, and attentiveness to client’s needs and queries.

Although our case awaits a judicial decision, I can already recommend Raymond Ioia. He answers text questions over the weekend. He is pragmatic and calm. He explains the law involved in case thoroughly. He is very thorough and reassuring. Highly recommended.

Caring and kind

I hired Raymond Iaia when all looked hopeless. Three other lawyers rejected my case, and a friend suggested I contact him. Raymond listened to me, explained my options, and was able to resolve my case rather quickly. He did this while being very caring and kind to me and my situation.

Best decision I ever made

Raymond Iaia was the perfect lawyer for me. I suffered terrible injuries in a car crash that wasn't my fault and the insurance company refused to make a reasonable offer. I put my trust and faith in Raymond and he guided me through the process, explaining everything along the way, and fighting hard... at every step. Eventually he was able to settle my case for much more than I thought I would get.

Diligent and attentive.

Raymond was always informative and took the time to explain my case to me, step by step. He was responsive whenever I had a question or an issue. He is very knowledgeable and aggressive and secured me a more than favorable outcome. He thinks outside the box while still being professional and conside...rate.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
