Alexander Raymond

Replied last January 25, 2024

It's a little hard for me to comment on a nameless review, however, since I began practicing in 2006, I can say I have only "missed" 2 court dates due to calendaring issues. Both cases were continued without harm to my client(s). All of my clients have my personal cell phone and can text me 24/7. I try to respond to all texts within at most 2 business days. I am sorry this anonymous client feels this way. If he/she is a retained client, I encourage him/her to contact me for a refund. If he/she is a court appointed client, he/she should contact me and I will do what I can to get a new attorney appointed so that he/she can have his day in court.

Alex Raymond

Mr Alex Raymond has been out family lawyer for years now. I give him 30 stars as he is always there for us whenever we need him- He always calls or text back almost immediately and he will treat your case like it's the most important. He is honest and trustworthy and has never let us down. I can't sa...y enough about him as our family lawyer.

Amazing and thoroughly doing his job as a gal

This man is very honest and thorough at doing what he does .I highly recommend him. He was appointed as a gal in my case and despite the difficulties in my case no matter harsh or good he still did his job and took the time out to look into allegations and was fair and honest .That's all I could ask ...for.

Defense attorney Mr Raymond

Mr. Raymond helped me through a very important trial. He listened to my concerns and addressed them appropriately. He is well versed in the area of criminal defense and I was very happy with the outcome. I would use his expertise if I had any trouble in the future.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
