About Raymond
Biography
Raymond Bryant is a trial lawyer and litigator specializing in Plaintiffs’ civil rights and police misconduct actions. Before coming to Denver, Raymond was a political campaign consultant, political activist, and teacher in various cities across the country - and even across the pond. Raymond’s graduate work at the University of Cambridge, University of Arizona Law, and American University Law has helped temper his belief that when one of us is abused by injustice, all of us suffer from that injustice. Thus, Raymond’s legal practice reflects his belief that the law should be used as a sword, not just a shield, for everyday people to enforce their Constitutional and legal rights against those in power who abuse the public trust.

Raymond K. Bryant's Lawyer Endorsements
"Top-notch attorney. Highly respected in the legal community."
"Raymond and I worked together on a civil rights case against a local municipality in which the plaintiff was seriously injured. Raymond demonstrated an extraordinary knowledge of the law and was more than prepared for every stage of trial. Raymond typically handles all of his own pre-trial motions and leaves his clients in the strongest position to win possible. I would strongly recommend Raymond to anyone who has experience a violation of his or her civil liberties or Constitutional rights."
"Ray is an excellent civil rights litigator and brilliant trial lawyer. He is one of the most talented cross-examiners I've seen in court. Possessing a scholarly knowledge of civil rights law, its application in civil court and its history, he is our firm's go-to expert for all employment discrimination questions and cases."
