Raymond Ellsworth Stout III

Mr. Stout did a fantastic job.. He explains things thoroughly and explains what the outcome could be.. From worst case to best case scenario.. He knows his stuff and gives good advice on steps to take that could help you in court.. Very good guy and also very well priced... Look no farther, you have ...found the lawyer you need!

I was more than pleased with Mr. Stout. He went above and beyond the call of duty to get me out of jail. He was willing to work with my boyfriend in my absence, and had almost no time to prepare because I hired him just days before my court date. Upon my release he contacted me immediately to check o...n me, and for me that speaks volumes as to his dedication. I would highly reccomend Ray.

I have never been in any serious trouble until December when I was charged with Possession with Intent to Deliver - my public defender had me convinced that he could get the charges lowered, possibly even dropped - so i trusted him. Needless to say I lost my Supression hearing and Trial in May. I was... devastated as I was now looking at 9 months in the County. I contacted Ray as I have previous conversations with him about a friends case to see if my mother and I could sit down and talk to him about my case. At this point there was no deal to be made, no sit downs with anyone - i was found guilty, ordered a PSI, and due to be sentenced within 90 days. My mother and I sat down with him and decided the next day to hire him for sentencing. It was a long and emotional two months but having him on my side made the process a lot easier. Ray is not your average lawyer, he would contact me just to see if I was okay - he had many conversations with my mom and he tried to ease our minds as much as he could; however, he did not sugarcoat anything. He explained the entire process from beginning to end in detail and he was there every step of the way. He told me i could possibly due time but encouraged me to remain positive and to continue doing the things that i was doing to prove that my charges were not who i was as a person. Standing before the judge this morning my nerves we all over the place but i felt better having him by my side. He spoke about my accomplishments and my struggles through my life - he did and said everything i believe a lawyer should speak of in regards to their client. With Ray by my side I am now on 5 years probation, but will not be sitting in jail for even a day. I recommend him to anyone facing criminal charges and i know that you will not be disappointed!! I cannot thank you enough for the encouragement and all that you did to prepare my family and I for this day! Without you i would not be home with my daughter right now - THANK YOU!!

About a week ago I found myself in need of a lawyer for the first time in my life.Needless to say I was terrified,confused and at a loss.A friend of mine recommended Mr.Stoudt and he was an absolute blessing.He came to my Location to see me ,reassured me and made me feel at ease even though I probabl...y didn't show I was relieved.Not only was he my council but I could tell he actually loves what he does and is not about bullshitting you around,he genuinely cares and wants to help.My first time needing a lawyer was not what I expected it was far better then I expected.Not only would I use him again if I needed counsel but our family also gained a friend.Sometimes that's just as if not more important then counsel when you are scared,confused and feel hopeless.Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
