Donald Erwin Ray

Donald helped me with my parenting plan that had to go to court with my childs mother. He was very attentive to my requests, and knowledgeable and firm with the opposing side. He communicated every step of the way and I felt confident he would help me with what I needed and did just that. I would rec...ommend Donald to anyone would work with him in the future if needed.

Attorney Ray was truly my lifesaver. He was recommended after 3 other Rockford Attorneys have failed. He carefully picked my case from the beginning. He fully understood the complexities and complications and did not over-promise. He is truly experienced, professional with me as the client, and to th...e other parties even as we "fought" the divorce war of negotiations. He was honest with the fact that he needed to know me as a client before he can promise delivery that was practical and in my best interest. I really appreciated him for this. He is truly one of the best State Attorney's that fights for (responsible) Fathers' Rights. He put the fear of God (literarily) in my ex and her attorney professionally. He was able to get my dignity, respect, and also significantly reduced the abuse I had faced for years in the married and about a year during the divorce litigations within the first week of working with him. That he promised during the consultation meeting and he delivered fast. He is a fast responder (Mr. bulldozer). My ex disliked him and I remember her saying one time "your crazy insane Attorney has gone rogue again". God used Attorney Ray and he ended the painful expensive divorce within 6months. He is practical and his charging is the most reasonable of all 4 attorneys. He saved me a lot of money and pain. He sends monthly invoices so you know where you stand. He focuses on results and he advises you as excellent attorneys should. He is one of the best in the Rockford area. I will recommend Attorney Ray to anyone in the area.

I contacted Donald Ray because I needed to figure out child support interest and it’s very difficult to figure out. I did some research on this and his name came up. I told him what I needed and he was happy to help. Sent him all the information he needed and he was on it! He was very prompt and very... professional. I’ve hired attorneys in the past and have had bad experiences. Donald Ray was very helpful and pleasant to deal with. I was very happy with his work. I would definitely recommend him. He was great!

I can honestly say I sleep better at night knowing Mr.Ray is working hard for my children's best interest! Although we still have a long road ahead of us, he has already done quite an amazing job at thoroughly explaining and simplifying many of the legal aspects that can be confusing to those who ha...ve never been through a divorce! He has always treated me with respect and patience, and if you know how busy lawyers are, then it goes without saying that finding one who doesn't make you feel insignificant, is beyond priceless! If you're a parent or a chronic worrier(like me), then Don Ray is the best piece of mind you can give yourself. I trust in him to look out for me and my children on the legal front, so my attention can be focused where it's needed most, on my kid(s)! Thank you Don!

Call me a late bloomer, so what! After having a consultation with Attorney David Ray I am finally going to take a stance and do something about it! As he consulted me, I began to understand my lack of motivation for many years is what caused me to ignored this problem. Mr Ray specifically explained t...o me about certain procedures I never understood and encouraged me making me believe that I still have the opportunity to improve my situation by actually doing something about it. "How can I say I have been denied a passport due to arrears in child support, if I have never applied for one?" He explained to me helping me understand that just maybe the department of Family and Human services may not have a lien against a person passport application process that owes child support. He explained and was sincere to me how I am better off saving money by retaining a lawyer from another state like Michigan where one of my baby momma lives in, instead of retaining him because it would be a waste of time and most importantly money. He explained the difference of state and federal level. He gave me an illustration in terms of dollars and cents in how it would be a lot easier to get the other "baby momma " to agree to a lump sum before going before a judge to forgive arrears I owe her. Then he mentioned the clean slate program Illinois has for people like myself who owes thousands of dollars due to encarceration in my past. This consultation has motivated me to get certain procedures started and that there just might be a possibility that things can turn around for me. Thank you Attorney Ray for your insightful, informative legal consultation.
