Raymond Harold Stein

i made a huge mistake by not checking mr steins reviews ,he said reviews were fake that real people don't write them, (i said well i do just dropped the ball this time) several warning one was that he had me meeT him at an office bldg in a small closet type room only enough room for desk and 2 chairs... not an office at all and according to other reviews he had no offices anywhere else either, but biggest warning was the receipt it had non refundable on it and then he said he already filed the paper work which he has not done any work on this case whatsoever he was only interested in getting the $400 final payment i decided to cut my loses at $600 dollars he told me to go to court for my son myself i definitely am contacting stateboard on him for leading me to believe his name was something different than his real name that's why i didn't find any reviews on him until after i realized his name was raymond h stein. DO NOT HIRE this man !!!!

I received a DUI and I had no idea what to do because this was my first time ever getting in any legal trouble. I went to Mr,Stein because my friend said he was cheap. (I have learned my lesson, you get what you pay for so aim for higher priced lawyers.) When I initially began to go to him, he told m...e that we could get it reduced once he pulled the tapes but I had to pay the full fee. I paid him and he "began to work on my case". My first issue was he NEVER knew who I was when I called. Then he told me that I wouldn't have to attend court but then later made me attend every single court date. I work full time so this was very inconvenient because if he would've told me initially I would've taken off in advance. Then he told me not to begin on my community service or take the class until after my sentence. I later found out that I should've taken the class and done everything in order to be in good standing in court. I also never got to review my tapes but he said it would be okay. When I got to court, he sat me down and explained the plea deal. It had everything I could've gotten with or without a lawyer. I had 40 hours of community service, a $1,057 fee, DUI school, license suspension, impact panel, and evaluation. This was my first time EVER being in trouble so I was dumbfounded. I think he works with the prosecutors to get the highest sentences.
