Raphael Matthew Scheetz

Ray Scheetz is an extremely competent, caring and experienced attorney serving the greater corridor area. I was in my senior year of college when I reached out to Ray. It was just after finding out from the schools administration about a false allegation of sexual assault the allegedly occurred d...urning the first few weeks of my freshman year. I was scared, confused, and worried. Unlike in court, to “win” an allegation of sexual assault the complainant only needs to prove that it’s “more likely than not” (50% and a feather) a violation occurred (not beyond a reasonable doubt). At my school, out of the 16 reports in 2017, 14 had resulted in expulsion for the respondent. The odds were not in my favor. I called over ten different attorney offices throughout the state, and none had any experience with Title IX (the governing document for universities across the country that lays out the guidelines for handling allegations on campus). Ray immediately made time in his schedule to see me the next day. After our free consultation, Ray helped me through every step of the process. He was available for coaching and counseling throughout the entire process of the investigation, insuring that our response to all of the questions would not lead to any legal consequences for me after the fact. As a college student without a lot of money, Ray was able to be very transparent with his billing and budgeting throughout the entire process. Ray coached me through how to properly respond to interview questions, and helped me write all of my statements and responses to the complainant's statements. The process took over four months, and I was found not responsible for the false allegation. Without a doubt, Ray has a wide range of knowledge pertaining to many fields of law. I could not have gotten through my senior year without his help - in fact I am certain that without his help I would have been kicked out of school for something I had not done. Thank you Ray. I look forward to retaining you for my future legal needs should they arise.

Fantastic! He is extremely professional and made us feel safe and confident. Everything was clearly filed quickly and accurately. He made the complicated immigration process seem fast, straightforward, and simple. Because he got the paperwork processed so quickly, my wife was able to start working mu...ch faster than if we had filed the paperwork ourselves or with a different attorney, so really he paid for himself. The entire process from start to green card was 10 month.

I had at least a couple of experiences with attorney Scheetz. As a lawyer, he handled the visa process for my ex-wife, many years ago. It was done professionally and on time. It was done long time ago, so I can’t remember all the details. However, more recently, I had a chance to take a lady from... Guatemala to his office and help as her interpreter, and in this case, Mr. Scheetz explained the possibilities about her nephew (who was already in jail ready to be deported) and he didn’t want to give her false hope (after she explained the specifics of this particular case). When a person doesn’t have a case, he will tell you. If he can really help, he will gladly also say so. The problem with many immigration attorneys is that they will just take your money and give you false hopes so they can get business, not so with attorney Scheetz. If you ask him, however, to delay a deportation, he will be able to do so by many years, but he will tell you that on front if you have a good case or not. In my opinion, he’s a young attorney from the "old school", that is, with traditional ethical values, and that’s what matter at the end of the day.
