Raymond A. Cassar

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.

I would give this law office 100 stars if I could. We were referred to Ray by a trusted attorney friend, when our son made a bad choice that could have severely affected his future and our family for many years to come. In shock and devastation we arrived at Ray's office, and were immediately absorbe...d into their comforting "family". From the moment they took our son's case, we were overwhelmed by the caring and support, not to mention the legal expertise that came from everyone in their firm. Daryl Wood handled much of the day-to-day proceedings and contact, and I can honestly say that we were never "out of touch" with him. Daryl and Ray are the consummate attorneys, in every sense; because of their experience and respected relationship with the court personnel and police involved, they were able to achieve an outcome we had prayed for but never thought possible. I could never say enough about this law firm, and if you look anywhere else for an attorney when in need, you will be losing the best representation you could possibly have.

After preliminary hearing, my 1st attorney was unable to dismiss the case and I ended up with an additional capital felony charge. I was devastated and worried that I would be locked up for many years and not be able to watch my kids to grow up. My wife contacted our good friend who knows someone in... the judicial system. She recommended Ray Cassar who is a well respected attorney by many judges and prosecutors. We met several times to discuss the case, each time he actively listen to my concerns and provided me his non-biased (no sale pitch) legal view. He was very genuine and cared me and my family. Once I detained Ray to represent me in court, he was very effective in handling my case. I witnessed the respect he received from the judge and prosecutor(s). He was able to get the misdemeanor plea in exchange for (1) capital felony, (1) felony and (1) misdemeanor from the prosecution office. His top notch legal defense and the ability articulate the justice of my case. It was no luck. It is Ray and his team that did it all! Again, your continued positive support, reinforcement and encouragement really moved me through these difficulty times. Without you and your team's hard work and top notch legal defense, I would not be able to reconnect with my family and move on with my normal life - working father and support my family. I am able to restore my pride!
