The greatest lawyer I've ever had

Best lawyer in the world had some serious drug charges he took care of it in one day got it dismissed and got my life back if you need someone who is really going to go to bat for you and home run it every time make sure you hire ray hayes I can't say enough great things about him

When you have hired an attorney or been appointed one you are prepared to put your life in their hands. In a way, this is similar to how one would with a surgeon in life threatening procedure. I cannot think of anyone who is better to put your trust into other than Ray Hayes. With him, you can expect... the best possible outcome for your case. I was facing serious time (4 felonies, facing 10 years for check fraud ) and today I am free to think about my future and get my life together(1 misdemeanor and 1 year probation). With Ray Hayes as your attorney, you can say, “surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.”

The best Lawyer

Mr Hayes represented me on some criminal charges. He stayed in contact with me. He listened to me concerns. And he went to battle on my behalf. I have nothing but good to say about him. I’m very appreciative of all his hard work he has done for me

Posted by Lynn | January 21, 2022 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Ray is a professional at every level

I retained Ray Hayes to help me navigate the legal system for my DWI case. He was the best choice and God definitely put him in my path. Ray is extremely knowledgeable, resourceful, compassionate, and thorough. He responded to any questions, concerns via phone calls, texts, and emails in a very timel...y manner. Ray is very honest, professional, focused, and caring.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • 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.
