Stop stressing out over finding an attorney.

I had two consultations with other lawyers before Mr. Stout. Both of which left me with feeling nothing but hopeless and scared. I found Mr. Stout by chance and he gave me hope again. Unlike my first 2 consultations, he listened to everything I wanted to say. Not just about my case, but also how I fe...lt. He didn't talk down to me, he never made me feel hopeless and (most importantly) he delivered, even when things didn't go our way. Was picked up on a detainer, and looking at 4-6 weeks before my court date and about 5-6 months because of what my p.o. wanted to do (go to some halfway house for no good reason). He got me out within 10 days and got 60 days SCRAM and did it all before even meeting me in prison (which was 5 days after getting picked up). Thank you so much for everything. I pray I never need you again, but if I do, I will already know I'm in the best hands possible. Hire this man. He will get you the best possible outcome. My only regret is I didn't hire him sooner.

Save your time and look no farther...

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!

Awesome Attorney

I was looking at 9 monthes to possibly a year on my third violation which I thought was only my second one at the time but because of being violated on my fines and costs prior this last time, It was considered my third PV, so finding that out last minute..within days of my court date it made me extr...emely nervous and very stressed out, but after having my free consultation with Raymond right there at the prison I was in and by totally going over my case with him...he gave me my possibilities within reason and to follow up on my decision well let's just say, I hired him on the spot right then and there..so the day of my court hearing I was alittle skeptical but mainly because the anxiety was just so unbearable, well i should of gave him more the benefit then of the doubt because he was fantastic! I was sentenced to only 4 monthes but with the completion of 2-1 Mary Clary's drug/alcohol classes which was only a 6 week program, I could be released early as the last day of the program! I was only alittle less then 2 monthes imprisoned by that point, also didn't help that my probation officer had recommended 9 monthes jail time to the judge, and the Judge for my overall sentencing was Sir Honorable Judge Knisley...not before red flagging me he sentenced me to a total of 4 months in prison upon early release when I complete the full 2-1 program and so with all that being said, I would highly suggest hiring Attorney Mr. Raymond E. Stout and if you have even a more similar story to mine or anything criminally related then you should most definitely reconsider hiring Mr. Stout as your legal representative...not only will he make sure you serve very limited jail time due to those who do not like it in prison, also depending on your situation/case....but I can guarantee you he will give you his full, honest suggestions for legal advice on what ALL possibilities you have upon hearing your docket following your options laid out for you to make your decision before making any moves. Because, at the end of the day, above everyone else all jokes aside and out of all seriousness..overall, only you can choose what you want to do in your own life, you have the power to choose and if you are in a bad situation or you know someone who is close to you, family or even friends maybe...help them to recognize that their best choice should be to choose to make Mr. Raymond E. Stout as their/your your legal counsel today! If money is an issue, no worries at all...Ray is flexible with payment plans, he will work with all types of payments, and most of all...without even hearing your full story/case he will arrange to come meet with you while imprisonment without any money up front! He shows very good legal representation and judges no one, just be completely honest about your situation and you will not be dissatisfied with the outcome! ! THANK YOU RAY, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE RECOGNIZED AS A WELL KNOWN ATTORNEY IN LANCASTER COUNTY AND I WILL CONTINUE TO SHARE WITH OTHERS MY STORY WHICH HAD HELPED ME GREATLY! BECAUSE OF TAKING THAT ONE CHANCE TO HAVE BEEN LEGALLY REPRESENTED BY YOU, I AM NOW REUNITED WITH THE LOVE OF MY LIFE AGAIN,..WHICH IS MY FIRST ONLY CHILD..MY LITTLE GIRL, JOCELYNN! AND SINCE MY RELEASE DATE BACK IN JANUARY 2016, WE ARE NOT ONLY INSEPARABLE...BUT WE ARE VERY HAPPY! I CAN'T IMAGINE BEING IN JAIL FOR ANY LONGER THEN THE SENTENCE YOU HELPED GET FOR ME, I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH...YOU ARE AWESOME, MY DAUGHTER AND I THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND PRAY OTHERS WILL SEEK YOU TO USE FOR THEIR LEGAL REPRESENTATION! THANKS AGAIN, GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, TAKE CARE RAY!

Horrible!!!

Attorney doesn't answer phone calls or return them. He only communicates via text message when convenient for himself. He does NOT go into the prison to speak with all his clients. My boyfriends been in for almost 4 months and he has only seen this horrible attorney ONE time!!!!! I do NOT reccomend t...his poor excuse of an attorney for anyone!

Replied last June 12, 2015

This attorney responds to every phone call made to him within 24 hours. This attorney goes into the Prison typically 3x a week to see new and ongoing clients. Your "boyfriend" has every right to find another attorney if he is not pleased with Attorney Stout even though he obviously has not? Do not post denigrating remarks about an attorney without taking the time to think about perhaps the possibility exists that the attorney has no news for the client and has expressed that numerous times to the family.
