Raymond Franklin Anthracite

I contacted Mr. Anthracite’s law office after my son received a protective order in the very early hours of 11 August 2017. We met Mr. Anthracite in his office that afternoon, with a court date that was set within days, and he got down to business the moment we sat down. He provided the pros and co...ns of either fighting the order or consenting to it, and my son made the decision to fight it. We provided Mr. Anthracite a background history of the parties involved, and submitted all requested documentation throughout the weekend, and when the court date arrived he was definitely prepared! He handled our case with a precise thoroughness and professionalism that could not be matched, nor denied. We truly appreciate the expertise he provided, but we also appreciate the care and concern he displayed while handling our case. We highly recommend Mr. Anthracite to anyone needing to fight an unwarranted Protective or Peace Order. Thank you for a job well done!

Ray won with flying colors my case, a malicious peace order hearing based upon false accusations. It was a complicated and difficult case with certain challenges due to the malice and mendacity involved on the part of the petitioner whom Ray exposed during cross examination. Ray came to court t...otally prepared for battle, hit the ground running and never looked back until we had secured victory. As my attorney, Ray had total command of the law, citing numerous cases during arguments, and total recall of the facts which he wielded during cross examination. He prepared me for my own testimony with perfect advice that was both concise and useful. I calmly testified remembering what Ray had told me. At the end, the judge ruled that there was no statutory basis for the peace order. The entire ordeal took a few weeks. From the moment we met, Ray was straight-forward, honest, conscientious, detailed, thorough, attentive, empathetic, smart, practical, instructive, and cordial. Ray is that rare lawyer who brings great legal talent and high rhetorical skill without the big ego that usually shows up with either of them. Ray let me know exactly what was expected of me and what I needed to do. We continuously went over the facts, gathered and discussed the evidence, and planned our legal strategy. We spoke by telephone numerous times. We met repeatedly. Again and again, we discussed every aspect of the case. We argued, we negotiated, we agreed. Ray listens. Ray guides. Ray collaborates. Ray knows how to make bricks out of straw. Ray knows the law. And Ray knows how to think through a case. Ray is a winner. He's very good and not very expensive. I look forward to working with Ray again. And so i would highly recommend him.

I recently had to contest a malicious temporary peace order filed against me. I hired Mr. Anthracite to represent me at my final hearing and he was an invaluable asset in this court battle. In the weeks before the hearing Mr. Anthracite worked tirelessly to prepare the evidence necessary to prove my ...innocence. He was also readily available to answer any of my questions and counsel me throughout the process. Thankfully with his guidance and hard work I was successful in fighting this peace order. I would recommend Mr. Anthracite to anyone in need of caring, thoughtful and vigorous legal defense whether it be in contesting a peace order or another civil or criminal matter that he specializes in. Mr. Anthracite is a high character lawyer who will fight for you and has your best interests in mind.

I received two felony drug charges in October of 2014. This was a very stressful time for myself & my family. Ray was very professional, and careful about my case. He ended up getting my charges dropped to misdemeanors, and also got me PBJ. In addition, my vehicle and phone that were seized by the ...police got released back to me ! Ray will definitely help better whatever legal bind you are in.

Ray is a very serious, detail oriented lawyer. He left no stone unturned and worked long hours to ensure everything was taken care of. My spouse and I dealt with back to back protection orders from his ex wife that she petitioned with false accusations. This was an emotionally stressful and costly si...tuation to deal with. Ray worked with us and was flexible on payment delivery since we lived out of state. He walked us through everything and prepared us for all outcomes in court. He won both of our cases (2 days a part). He knows the law very well and was able to very effectively show the judge all our evidence and had us in and out quickly. He also handled another case just one month later which he also resolved and got us the most desired outcome (dismissed!). That's 3 for 3. Thanks to him we have no more legal worries. He is worth the price, and I would recommend him to anyone.
