Raymond A. Cassar

After incurring a first time legal incident involving a DUI, I was lost and unsure of where to turn. A close friend recommended that I contact Ray and speak with him about my situation. I am so very grateful that I did. Ray took the time to review my case in detail, even before I retained him as my a...ttorney. I immediately felt better after speaking with him and his staff. Ray truly cares about his clients, which make a huge difference during such a stressful time. He was always just an email or phone call away and walked me through each step of the legal process. Rather than being scared and unsure, I felt confident that I was taking the right steps to address my situation both legally and personally. Ray helped me to obtain the best possible outcome and to get my life back on track. I cannot recommend him highly enough. I will always keep his card with me so I can share it with anyone that may need help in the future.

When our son was charged with sexual offenses related to files found on his computer, we didn't have the first idea of how to evaluate an attorney. A work-related connection led us to Ray Cassar; a quick phone call and our son had a no-fee consultation appointment the very next day. Long story short ...(and much like the other testimonials posted here), we feel incredibly fortunate that we found Ray and Rahm. Our son had a combination of chance, poor decisions and bad luck which brought him to federal charges. Ray listened and guided our son to reflect on his actions, own responsibility for them, and seek therapy to understand them. Ray did not minimize the significance of the offenses, nor did he excuse our son, but he and his staff worked tremendously hard to find case law that would mitigate the resulting sentence. Although currently serving time, we're confident our son received the best outcome possible under the circumstances: instead of 10+ years, he is 20% done with a 24-month incarceration (hopefully less). At all times we KNEW that Ray and his staff were committed to helping our son work through this challenge and *come out a better person.* The steps our son went through and the introspection he was compelled to perform have been very positive and have already been beneficial to his outlook and determination to learn from the experience and live up to his potential. Aside from the fact that he pled guilty and must live with the results of his actions in a very public way, this could be considered a growth experience for him. We know that this is the best payment Ray, Rahm and their entire legal team wish for. Every contact with the Law Offices of Raymond Cassar was full of respect, hope and belief that the best was what would happen for our son. They're personally interested in him, our family, and his/our future. We continue to stay in contact. If you are reading this review because you or someone you love is faced with criminal charges, we know you won't be sorry you called Ray Cassar. Good luck!

My son messed up and was facing some very serious charges. My wife and I were terrified with the prospects of what was going to happen to him. We met with Ray and he immediately helped us relax and feel better. He explained that good people make mistakes and that his goal was to help see us through ...and make sure that our son was back on the right track. We followed Ray's suggestions to get our son in therapy and treatment; and the Judge was pleased with this when we went in to court for the first time. I am convinced that this is why our son seemed to get a better deal than the rest of the cases that we saw during this process. Ray and his staff were always there for us and and either answered, or found the answers, to our questions every time. I can't recommend Ray highly enough.

We contacted Attorney Cassar's office to inquire about our son's CSC 1 charge, to simply ask a few questions. This office went above and beyond our expectations regarding the time they took with us to help us understand the legal process our son was facing and they genuinely cared to ask questions a...bout the overall situation and give us guidance. We were not pressured in any way shape or form by sales tactics to try and get us to retain their firm for representation of our son, that in itself spoke volumes to us. As a result of their genuine care and the legal information and options they provided us during our conversations, we did decide to hire them to just evaluate our son's case so that they can give us a better idea of what our options are. We highly recommend calling this law office with any criminal situation, as hard as it may be to deal with, and see what they have to say. Even if you are not sure if you are ready to retain a private attorney, they will spend some initial valuable and personal time helping you understand your options. As a paralegal in another field of law in another state, I know from experience that the way this office handled our initial inquiry speaks absolute volumes of their mission to help people have a fair process regarding whatever situation they, or their family, are in. Genuine and Helpful, are the best words I can use to convey our experience with this firm.

Recently my college age son found himself in legal trouble after being picked up for drunk driving. We were panicked and had no idea what to do other than find an attorney. A friend recommended Ray and we could not have made a better choice. He met with us immediately and assured us we woul...d feel more comfortable after talking with him, which we absolutely did. He treated all of us, especially my son, with respect, was non-judgmental, informative and caring. What struck us the most was in our first conversation he told my son that he not only wanted to help him legally but more importantly help him get on the right path for a successful future. And he really meant it. Ray is so knowledgeable and spoke to us in a "non-legalese" manner. At each step we felt comfortable and understood what was going to take place. He knows many people in the legal arena; judges, attorneys, law enforcement and is highly respected by all. We could see that each time we went to court. My son (as were we) was very scared of the consequences of his poor decision. Ray gave him such a sense of comfort that whatever Ray asked of him he did with no resistance even when he said to get into the Brighton Hospital outpatient program. Ray knew that would go a long way in terms of the final legal outcome but more importantly he knew that it would help my son deal with something that could become a much more difficult issue later in life. My son said that he "did not want to let Ray down and would do whatever he said". Ray did such a great job of minimizing the legal impact but did not take credit; rather he gave it to my son who he said never once deferred responsibility, complained or refused to do something but in fact took everything Ray said to heart. He wouldn't have done that if he didn't fully believe that Ray cared about him and was helping him with more than just the legal matters. We firmly believe that without Ray this situation would mostly likely have had a much different outcome. It has been life changing from my son. Ray has become more than just our attorney. He has told us and our son that if we ever need him he is just a call away and I know that is true. He has become somewhat of a mentor for my son and I know the relationship will continue.
