Raymond Bryant is dedicated, patient and demonstrates empathy for his clients. His integrity and passion for the law shows in his work. Although there wasn't a clear path forward in my case, I'm truly grateful for the guidance and representation provided by Civil Rights Litigation Group.

Very satisfied with everything he’s done for me

Mr. Bryant Went above any beyond to ensure he took care of my family and I. It was a long 5 years to reach a verdict and I was concerned through the entire process, as I never been through anything like that. Every step of the way he reassured me and kept in touch making sure I was doing well and upd...ated me frequently. There was times I struggled with confidence in winning my case due to who we were up against, but in those moments he held me up and brought me back to where I needed to be. He always made me feel heard and understood. He never made me feel like he was bothered by my questions. He didn’t just feel like a lawyer, he felt like a part of my family. I will forever be grateful for what he has done for my family and I. The countless hours he put in, the reassurance and care was above and beyond what he had to do and he did it effortlessly. During the trial he was very confident and professional. I felt that him and his team had everything covered and it showed they put in countless time and effort into my civil rights and it felt great knowing justice was served. Thank you again for the care and service you and your team provided. I am happy that he heard me out and was on my side.

Very few attorneys win big against the government in the Nation. Raymond is the most valuable attorney in civil rights.

Do not go with any other attorney for civil rights relief. Only Raymond has proven to win up to $25k a day for police wrong doings causing incarceration. Raymond has kindly also shared valuable time in giving me general knowledge that saved me thousands in legal fees. Unfortunately there is not a ...Raymond in every state so sadly many people are victims from the government. Raymond please go national and help change training cops and training students the law!!! The nation is in terrible condition and seems to rely on tradition more than progress. Raymond consider me a volunteer for any signatures needed to change laws to protect us.

World-Class Civil Rights Attorney

Mr. Bryant is an expert attorney, specializing in representing and litigating for citizens who have been trounced upon by unchecked government abuses. During the initial consultation, he was very straight with me about the nature and value of my case, although in the end our outcome far more successf...ul than I could have imagined. Mr. Bryant brought the defendants to answer for what they did and most importantly, provided me with justice! Raymond fought relentlessly in the face of intimidation, discouragement and aggressive bullying to prevail, winning a very successful settlement. Raymond was able to achieve justice in the face of police brutality, providing a restorative life for my family and I. He has the skills, wisdom and connections/resources to take on any government entity that abuses your civil rights; as Mr. Bryant proved, mine surely were. Throughout the process, he maintained prompt, open and concise communication, was always accessible to address any concerns, and most importantly, he was correct with every decision or recommendation. Raymond has the highest levels of honesty and integrity. When police and government defendants see him appear on the other side of the table from them, they tremble with fear. I suspect he surely holds a reputation for the best in the Denver area. I have made a friend for life and consider Mr. Bryant the best attorney I have ever hired, and I have hired/worked with several!!! I would not hesitate to highly recommend Raymond as a super-star Attorney. Thank you!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"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."

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.
