Richard Thayer, Personal injury Attorney on Sep 1, 2014
Relationship: Other
I have known Ray for approximately six years and have personal knowledge of his legal expertise, high ethical standards, and attention to detail. More importantly, however, Ray is simply a good person. I would not hesitate to hire Ray within my own firm and will not hesitate to refer clients to Ray when they need assistance in Chicago and/or Illinois.
Alexander Sweis, Personal injury Attorney on Aug 28, 2014
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
Ray and I worked as opposing counsel on a case for over two years. I never had any disagreements or issues with Ray's procedure or case evaluation. We were able to come to a reasonable settlement without any difficulty.

Ray is a great lawyer. I've known him for almost ten years. He is extremely knowledgeable and a great advocate for his clients.
