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!

Abandoned my car

Ray’s review: I had a great experience with Mr. Anthracite as my legal representation. I lost control of my vehicle and damaged a family’s fence and grass; while driving with expired registration. While I had provided the owner with all of my personal information and insurance, I foolishly left my... vehicle after arranging for it to be towed. I did not realize that this would be a potentially incarcerable offense after my forthcomingness with the property owner. Nevertheless, I faced a multitude of fines and possible jail time. Ray was incredibly diligent and helpful in making sure that I did everything possible to lessen the severity of my offense. He routinely followed up on my deliverables, as well as on the important court date and location. I can’t recall where I learned about his services, but he was very reasonably priced when compared with many of the solicitations that I received in the mail. In the end, everything was dropped and I didn’t receive a single fine from the court. A happy ending, no doubt.

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.

He is the best of the best!

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!
