Compassionate, informative, skilled

I highly recommend the lawyer Raymond Bryant if your rights have been violated by law enforcement Officers, after I sat with him he did listen carefully to the circumstances that led to my false arrest, he did inform me where is my case stand without sugar coat anything, and what the outcome would be..., he told me what is the best/ worst case scenario we could end up with. He told me that, my case could take from 6 months to 3 years to get it settle, but guess what my case was settle only within 6 months! Raymond Bryant he will stand by you and will fight for your rights till the end, he will never quit on you!

Top Shelf Libertarian Civil Rights Litigator

Raymond is an exceptionally focused and patient discrimination, employment, and Libertarian civil rights litigator. He exhibited professionalism, raw talent and intelligence. While Working with Raymond I felt comfortable, trusting and supported. His diverse saturated education, legal expertise, dedic...ation and communication skills resolved my case to the best possible outcome. He devotes endless hours to his clients, he is always thoughtful and complete in his responses to answer all his clients questions and address all of their concerns. Raymond never shies away from taking cases to trial when that is the best or the only option for his clients, he is also an expert in negotiating settlements. Raymond handled my case directly, his legal style in a deposition and in court can only be described as clever, strategic, and powerful, and in my opinion his mindful strategy had the opposing counsel and the defendants head spinning. I would recommend Raymond Bryant to anyone and I would retain his service for any legal situation in the future. If you are looking for a successful, aggressive employment, discrimination or, Libertarian civil rights litigator, call Raymond.

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."

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.
