IT PAYS TO CALL RAY HAYES!!

Ray Hayes II Attorney at Law shown to be dedicated, efficient, interested, energetic, prompt, ambitious, and professional. The attorney everyone needs by their side! Mr Hayes applies a sense of urgency throughout all legal , as well as, Court proceedings. After recognizing the fact that my court app...ointed attorney was not on my team whatsoever, needless to say, he was fired! My first meeting with Mr Hayes was extremely beneficial as he treated me with patience, respect and courtesy while paying close attention to all details. I would also find out Mr Hayes undoubtedly works for the best outcome of his client. Not for the district attorney not for the courts not for the state and especially not all about money he 100% is all about his clients best interest and outcome. Mr Ray Hayes had my best interest throughout. He is extremely thorough, totally dedicated and honest. He explained what he could do for me and what he could not do for me. He also explained all court procedures and legal jargon until I understood everything fully. On my second Court appearance, an eager, well informed Ray Hayes II Attorney at Law handled my case in a way which astonished my whole family, as well as, myself! What was supposed to be my bond reduction hearing, ended up with settling my case without jumping through all the normal courtroom hoops. This stance Mr Hayes initiated was in my best interest! D.A. showed up in court a bit overconfident, thinking the court would send me to prison upon their word. Who would have guessed? Justice prevailed on that day and it started and ended with Mr Hayes! Instead of normal court procedures following normal suit, Ray Hayes captured the judges attention with relevant information about this case and he was heard by the judge you see the district attorney came to court with sheer confidence nothing else Mr Hayes came to court totally prepared and Justice prevailed, I did not go to prison, instead I went home with my family! The district attorney was flabbergasted, utterly shocked and even made a sound of disgust while shaking her head at the judges verdict. You may ask the moral of this story...? Well, do not take advantage of how the system usually works, be aware of all facts and never never be too proud or confident. Always be prepared because in a rare occasion the judge might just be interested in fairness instead of just jumping through the necessary Court proceeding hoops of the judge backing up the district attorney/state!! At the end of the day, Ray Hayes II Attorney at Law is interested in"YOU" and your case at hand. He is definitely not in court to play games or jump through those hoops. Mr Hayes is not only a fabulous defense attorney but someone you absolutely want on your side till the end! Mr Hayes put his best foot forward and how he did shine! THANK YOU so much, Mr. Hayes!! Sincerely, Tim, Lesley and Family RAY HAYES..... #1 Defense Attorney ......Strongly Suggested. .......One Amazing Lawyer!!!! ~~~ 100% 100% 100%~~~

Professional Lawyer Who Listens

Attorney Hayes, has been wonderful from start to finish with my case. He offered personalized services, promptly returned my phone calls, and answered all my questions! Each time I had to appear in court, Attorney Hayes, was prepared and worked hard on my behalf to get me the best judgement allowa...ble. I highly recommend his law services and his fees are reasonable. Attorney Hayes is the best!

First Honest Attorney I've Worked with!

Attorney Ray Hayes brought integrity back to law. He kept me informed and answered all of my questions. I would highly recommend his services.

Posted by Denise | February 21, 2014

Thank You Mr. Hayes, for great service during our time of need.

We have used Ray on several occasions, the most important was during the Incorporation process of my business. He was quick to respond to any questions I had, handled all matters quickly and kept me informed of the process on a regular basis. He helped us on a few other occasions including a guardi...anship matter as well as a tenant eviction. He was compassionate and thorough.
