Great lawyer

I hired Raymond Anthracite for criminal defense. In addition to be an experienced and knowledgeable attorney, he knows nuances of the system that are very helpful. He did not sugarcoat. He over prepared us for defense so we could get the best results. He under promised and over achieved. He called me... on his weekends and evenings. He never rushed me. I never expected that much. He really cared. I highly recommend him.

Great lawyer in the DMV area

I was in a predicament facing multiple traffic violations. Mr.Anthracite went above and beyond from the consultation to the preparation to the actual appearances in court. Mr. Anthracite had amazing communication and did everything in his power to get me timely results as we were also on a time crunc...h. combined with his superb knowledge of the law he helped me secure the best result possible and I am infinitely thankful for his service.

Highly Recommend – He's a Gem!

Ray Anthracite is truly a gem of an attorney! I contacted Ray on a Friday evening regarding a traffic citation. He responded immediately and was kind and respectful, both over the phone and when I met him in his law office. Throughout the course of his representation, I could tell that Ray was extrem...ely knowledgeable and experienced in handling my matter. Even his website is already super helpful! Right from the outset, Ray made sure he thoroughly informed me about my options and what he could do to help me, which is always greatly appreciated. During my court hearing, Ray went above and beyond, not only as my attorney, but also as a great guy.. someone who understood what I was going through. Ray was always honest and transparent, and he kept me calm and collected throughout the entire process, especially with his lighthearted humor. Ray handled the courtroom like a boss! I was genuinely impressed at how prepared he was with documentation and knowing how to communicate with the judge and the other party. I came out of the courtroom fully satisfied. I highly recommend Ray Anthracite for any and all legal matters throughout the State of Maryland! Thanks so much, Ray!
