Raymond Ellsworth Stout III

I recommend Ray Stout to anyone! Before I called him I went to 2 other lawyers for my brother where I spend money for consultations and was not satisfied with what they told my brother one of the lawyers was lost saying different sentenced and the other would never contact my brother back nor give hi...m an estimate. When I called Ray Stout for a consultation he told me come in on a Monday I explain my brothers case, he told me Friday I will go talk to him sure enough Friday he went in the prison he told me your brother can be looking at 4-8 years for his drugs and gun charges but I will do my best to give him a 2-5 years with eligible for boot camp. Court came in like a month and sure enough he kept his word and got my brother 2-5 and boot camp eligible. My brother was happy and satisfied with his sentenced. Ray did his job with a matter of like 1 month and a half from when I hired him for the case. I really appreciate everything he did and his hard work he put into the case. Thank you so much Raymond Stout your the best lawyer I’ve hired and I will hire him again if I ever needed to. I will recommend him to anyone who ask me about a lawyer!!!!

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!!
