Raymond Franklin Anthracite

Ray Anthracite Is Fair Enough A law school professor once chastised me as an erstwhile law student: “don’t to confuse “What is Fair” with “The Law.” The punch line: The lawyer was a Jesuit. Every now and again, you can find an attorney with both a reverence for “justice” that can handle legal matte...rs with the compassion of a devotee. That is how I would describe Mr. Raymond Anthracite. I worked with Ray for over an 8-month period in relation to an escalating neighborhood dispute; If you are experiencing what may be deemed unjust or completely unsubstantiated civil complaints or spurious criminal claims, I strongly recommend you consult with Ray. Extensive Professional Experience I chose Ray for his practical expertise with surveillance and surveillance technologies that could be leveraged across multiple matters. Ray possesses the unusual combination of credentialing that poses a “triple threat” in both civil and criminal law: expertise in information technology, a Juris doctor and a little over a decade of litigation experience. Pre Court Room Many lawyers rely on the pomp and formality of their title or their standing within the State Bar association to humble their clients. During client intake, Ray quickly establishes a rapport with the client by explaining, in lay person’s terms, immediate and potential legal issues the client will face as well as the criminal procedure. He makes himself highly available on evenings and weekends as new facts emerge about a case. Ray’s professionalism towards me extends beyond a 5-star Martindale Hubble rating and his ethics in handling sensitive details of my case exceed the standards set by the State bar. Courtroom Many lawyers are good theoreticians but fall short when arguing a case before a Judge or a State panel. During discovery phases, Ray posits a case from all angles: “State’s Attorney”, “Victim”, “Defendant”, “Charging Officer” and “ Judge.” Further, on the hearing day, Ray takes the time to prepare each of the players regarding the facts of the case, his legal opinion of its relative merits and his arguments and rebuttals before it is ever heard. His knowledge of criminal procedure and the peculiarities of local jurisprudence make him aware of the subtle negotiation tactics that lead to my complete acquittal. Post Courtroom Post court, many lawyers never close the loop on their client’s rights. Ray provided detailed instructions on the steps I could take to maintain a clean record and provided immediate filing assistance at a reasonable cost. While Ray was not bound to provide any further legal advice, he kindly described the specific practical steps that I could take to avoid (or defend) any future encounters. I am impressed with all aspects of his criminal defense services. I strongly recommend that you retain Ray Anthracite.

If you are in trouble with your interlock system.. this is the man you want to go to! Not only was he gracious enough to take my phone call immediately in the morning (first thing after my 4th violation), he calmed me down and told me he would take care of this. Now I understand that lawyers cannot g...uarantee anything, but he eased my mind and took me out of panic mode; Which is exactly what I needed in that moment. He was then available to meet me after my hectic work schedule at 5:30pm, staying late to accommodate me in me time of need. He took every detail into consideration, responded to all of my texts and phone calls immediately and WON my case! Not only did he just get 1 violation off when I was facing being kicked out of the interlock program.. he got all 4 off wiping my slate clean! This man is intelligent and knows what he is doing in this business. He is who you want to call if you need help, and I am so happy I chose him!

Ray Anthracite was fabulous and I would recommend him to anyone. I needed a lawyer in an unusually short time frame and he responded quickly to my case and my needs, even meeting me during weekend hours. He listens with patience and attentiveness and made me feel assured and at ease with my case. His... experience and knowledge gave me confidence to approach my court hearing, and he did a fabulous job defending me and the case was dismissed!

When someone tried to get a protective order against me, I sought out the services of Attorney Anthracite. I explained to him that the person was simply trying to hurt my career. He listened carefully and explained how best he could defend me. I liked the fact that he was knowledgeable, energetic ...and straightforward. And he always called me back promptly whenever I had a question. Ultimately the protective order was dismissed, which of course was ideal for me.

Raymond Anthracite did a great job for me and my case. he got every little detail and was concerned for my well being. He gave me every little detail about possible outcomes, strategies, and things I can do to help my case. Raymond helped me get a lesson charge then what I have gotten because of all... the fighting he did for me. It truly felt like he cared about my well being and would recommend him to my friends.
