Posted by Keir | January 29, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Debt Collection

Best lawyer ever

I contact Ray to handle two judgments that were pending due to the loss of business. One almost $12,000 and the other $9,000. Roy was able to get both of them down to be paying 40% less than what I owed and with very reasonable payments. I am so happy this is done and he did all the work for me. ...No court, no judgment and no creditor harassment. No constant calls or paperwork. Every time I ask for updates Ellen quickly provided it to me. The financial stress of losing all my money and business is great, but Ray's work helped eased some of the burden with help me move forward.

"I strongly endorse this lawyer. I interned for Ray Ford while I was in law school and I got to witness firsthand how much he cares about his clients. You can count on him to give you the best advice at the best price. He cares much more about helping his clients than making money.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
