Ray Jetmore King

When I was Coordinator of Student Affairs at Columbus Business College in 1973 Ray was teaching law and hadn't had his degree yet. We became school friends and he defended me in several small driving cases. He also defended me in a bankruptsy case. I thought he was a very good attorney until I recei...ved a condo lien and finally a foreclosure against my condo where I live. I had paid him and he handled my case so bad because of improper forms sent to Common Pleas Court and records that I had given him and he and his secretary couldn't find them for a long time so I fired him. One time I was told to come to his office for a briefing and I live in Clintonville and after waiting in his office he stated that his wife had called, therefore, he had to go home. since I originally had small cases before, I thought I could depend on him but when a big case came up I could see that he wasn't as knowlegeable ad I previously imagined. I finally figured out that because of my law enforcement and my state investigator backgound that when he was my attorney in the small cases and bankruptcy case that I generally gave him enough information that in general I was really handing the law for my cases and that;'s why we won. I at present feel very bad because IO referred him to my daughter for her divorce and now that it's been over a year since he took the case and she is divorced with three children if the ex-husband acts up she is going to have to get another attorney. He also handled a few disolutions for me.

Ray King was and still is a terrible lawyer. Never organized, always showed up late to court. The opposing lawyer made him look like a fool, Ray knew nothing. He looked like a buffoon. Always had his hand out for money, but we didn't win anything. Three different lawyers told me to fire him, said tha...t he should no be a lawyer. He lost my paperwork twice. He was in contempt once, because he was late for court. The Magistrate, she yelled at him atleast 5 times, because paperwork was not signed, not filled out correctly, not handed in on time, it goes on and on. I finally fired Ray, then got a new lawyer. My custody case was finished in 6 months. I worked a year with Ray and got nothing, not even visitation. I get a new lawyer , and in 6 months, I have Joint Custody. Ray was not fit to represent me in court.
