Top notch!!!!!

He is the hardest working best attorney I’ve experienced. He fought extremely hard and resolved my case beyond my satisfaction.

Extremely helpful & knowledgeable

He is very helpful & is very straightforward. He won't just take your money & leave you to the wolves. He actually wants to help you & help you understand your rights. He will fight for you. He doesn't charge you an unreasonable fee either.

One cool ass dude.

Although my case comes to ahead March 6th it was good to know I had a cool ass lawyer that believed me and believed in marijuana. I hope to repay the dinners he took me to. He is a real guy and I believe he is genuinely concerned for people. I wish we could have hung out on different circumstances. T...hanks Jay for being a real human being.

Great Lawyer

Caught with (a little too much) weed?? Then you've got a friend, and advocate, INDEED with Jay. He resolved the case professionally, and expeditiously! I wouldn't look anywhere for an attorney in Tulsa!

Criminal defense lawyer | Feb 02

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I met Jay Ramey through our mutual interest in NORML (marijuana rights organization). I was impressed with his responses to any questions posted on their website - invariably he got right to the point and solved problems for a fellow lawyer. About two years ago I got a call from a long time client whose brother had been arrested in Oklahoma City, OK. I had been on the board of the national criminal defense lawyers association (NACDL) and knew several criminal lawyers in Oklahoma City but I went right to Jay hoping he would take a case that far out of town. I wanted the best Oklahoma had to offer and that was Jay Ramey. He agreed to handle the case and actually charged a quite reasonable fee, but more important he managed to suppress the search using an argument few would even know to raise. The defendant walked free. Whenever I hear someone needs an Oklahoma lawyer, Jay is who I recommend."

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.
