Raymond A. Cassar

On November 2nd, 2016, I was falsely accused of sexual assault by an upperclassman at my Liberal Arts College. It has by far been the worse crisis of my life. To be falsely accused of the disgusting actions that this woman made against me was set to ruin my life. I was a 19-year-old freshman honor st...udent, involved in over seven student organizations and numerous student leadership positions with everything going for him. Then this individual created a lie to destroy my life because she was upset I had a girlfriend and denied her. She claimed I did atrocious things to her and used her best friends to provide false testimony and when the school wasn't taking action fast enough, she went to the police. I knew the stigma against men in sexual assault cases, and I was nearly positive that this woman was going to get away with ruining my chances at getting an education and chasing my dreams. Ray and his team refused to let that happen. I thought I had hit rock bottom and had given up, but Ray and his staff never did. He met with me several times, and we went over the case for hours. The stereotype for lawyers is that they are cold and are only out to make a buck, but this could not be further from the truth when it comes to Raymond Cassar. He was caring and just as personally invested in the case as my family was. He treated me like a human being and was alway honest with me. He told me that the truth would trump the injustice. He always kept in contact with me and was attentive to all of my questions and concerns. Ray and his team worked overtime and went beyond the call of duty to make sure that I was treated like a human being and that justice prevailed; he even once woke up in the middle of the night to help me formulate my statements. Ray and his team offered fantastic advice, tools, and confidence to my case and were always prepared. When the day of the hearing came, Ray stayed with me through the Eight-plus hour long process. We were prepared with our statements, questions, and pushed her back on her lies. I was acquitted of all charges. With Ray's guidance and outstanding talents as a defense lawyer, my life was saved from succumbing to a wave of lies and injustices. Ray and his team showed true professionalism. They were attentive and worked as hard as possible to make sure that the truth came out on top. He took care of my family and me and always told the truth. I would never wish these circumstances on anyone, but if you or someone you love is ever plagued with the wrathful hand of injustice, hire Raymond A. Cassar. He will treat you will the utmost respect, give 110% and work until you are fully prepared to combat the charges. He has truly become a trusted advisor and friend, and I will forever be indebted to him and his team for their heroism.

Raymond Cassar took control of our son's case involving 2 counts of sexual misconduct with a minor after our first attorney's handling went awry. It was a complicated case involving our son who is 23 yr with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Aspergers Syndrome and the social capability of an 11 yr. old. Af...ter many months of mishandling with the first attorney, we scrambled to find a more appropriate defense. As we consulted with a couple of attorneys who were intricately involved with the book, Autism Sexuality and the Law, we were referred to Raymond Cassar. We met with Ray for at least a couple of hours the next morning and by the afternoon, Ray had visited with our son in jail and called us upon his return. Ray rolled up his sleeves the morning we met him and literally immersed himself into our situation, all the while taking a personal interest in our entire family. Ray provided us with a feeling of confidence and peace of mind that whatever could be done he would do. He met with our son again prior to sentencing. His preparation for the sentencing was intensive and he stayed in contact with us along the way giving us valuable advice and counsel. It was apparent that he truly had a heart for the disabled and misguided souls of the world. His advice and guidance were invaluable. On the day of sentencing, Ray stood next to our son, who made a heartfelt apology to all and accepted his punishment. Ray faced off with the prosecutor prior to the hearing and stood his ground. He continued this approach in front of the Judge. Ray was able to keep things under control and the sentencing went as well as we could expect. Our son is accepting his sentence in a positive light. Ray promises to visit our son in the future as well. Ray Cassar is indeed a consumate professional who was able to calm us and assure us of a secure outcome to a messy situation. He always listened to us and answered our questions honestly. He gave us hope in our desperation. We only wish that we could have found him at the very beginning of this ordeal. His ownership of our predicament was a 180 degree improvement from the way we started out. It was reassuring to find a professional like Ray Cassar who was not only outstanding in the handling of the proceedings, but also included his compassionate approach with our son and gave assurance and peace of mind to us all. Every time we met with Ray or spoke to him on the phone, he lifted us up with his positive, informative approach. With Ray Cassar on our side, there were no surprises. Our input was always welcomed and considered. In his preparation he always prepared us for what was ahead and always took a solid foothold for the best outcome. We will be forever indebted to Ray Cassar and want others to know that if you get Ray involved, he will always be on your side and will always be there for you.

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!

Scared, frightened and unsure what to do, I was given Mr. Cassar's number from a trusted friend. I had planned on interviewing a couple of attorneys but after meeting with Ray, it became clear that my friend had done me a huge favor. Ray and his staff worked diligently to calm me down, explain the ...legal situation and the potential consequences and get my mind back on track. I was falsely accused of a Criminal Sexual Crime that would devastate me and my family if I was unable to prove my innocence. Despite an eyewitness account contrary to the allegations, it still remained a risk to go to trial. Ray believed in me and so did his staff. There is a world of difference when you have an attorney that is fighting for you rather than just taking your money and putting you "through the process". There is a reason Ray is successful at what he does. He has people skills beyond belief. I cannot say enough about Ray or his staff nor can I thank my friend enough. I can tell you that if you are perusing the web in search of a GREAT Criminal Defense Attorney, then you have found one in Ray Cassar.
