Extremely knowledgeable about estate planning!

Raymond was extremely helpful at explaining the differences between a trust and will and helping us understand the best option for our estate planning needs. They were kind, courteous, and promptly responded to all of our questions. He explained how our particular trust worked with a comprehensive vi...deo that we can reference at any time. He even worked with us to figure out how to incorporate our out-of-state pre-nuptial agreement.

Highly recommended lawyer

My husband and I are both attorneys. We needed specific legal advice on estate planning especially with our assets being situated outside of the US. Raymond set time aside on a Saturday morning to speak to us over video call and gave us insightful and useful advice that put our minds at ease. He was ...honest and friendly, definitely someone we would highly recommend.

Business owner

I met Raymond, an attorney with over two decades of experience as an engineer with NSA, when he spoke at a New York City Bar Association. I was impressed by his knowledge and ability to smoothly transition from engineering to legal-speak and layman's terms depending on the audience's question and und...erstanding. It was clear after speaking with him that he has a passion for ensuring his legal client fully understands the ramifications (legally and engineering speaking) of their decisions regarding employing technology. Moreover, if you are a lawyer seeking advice, I would, without doubt, consider asking his opinion before chasing down-rabbit holes. He is a true professional who goes the extra mile to provide superior service.

Attorney

Having known Ray for the better part of a decade, I can honestly say he is committed to both his craft and his clients. I know him to be diligent in his work with a plethora of knowledge. However, his greatest asset is his empathy for his clients.
