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!

A great lawyer to have on your side

He was very quick to return my calls and so easy to get ahold of. He worked with me tirelessly and walked me through with ease. He took care of my case and made sure nothing was missed. I wouldn’t have gotten through without him. I would highly recommend him and had a super great experience worki...ng with him. His price was reasonable and he never left me in the dark each step of the way leading up to the very date of court. A huge thank you to him for all his efforts and support.

Excellent Lawyer

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!

I strongly recommend Attorney Anthracite

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.
