He gets it!

I have worked, side b y side with Ray for several years now. There is no lawyer I've worked with who has been more reliable, harder-working, dedicated to his clients and insightful than Ray. I would not hesitate to have him represent me or a family member if I needed legal counsel, and I cannot recom...mend him strongly enough.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
