OUTSTANDING Divorce Lawyer!

Ray and his team was OUTSTANDING in every regard! He helped me get my divorce with no hitches. My case could have been complicated but he made the case simple and fast. We were in constant communication and he kept me abreast of all developments in the case. I’m so glad I picked him out among seve...ral attorneys in town whom I contacted. I would highly recommend him to any of my friends and family!

I wouldn't hire this man.

Spent $5,000 on this man to take care of a case I already spent $10,000 to be done by another attorney. He claimed he never got the case despite both the other lawyer and I sending it to him multiple times. He doesn't get back to you unless he feels like it and never if it's questioning his work. I ...agree with other clients he's very arrogant about his abilities which I never saw be put into action. However, he was not personally rude to me or my wife. I do feel he's very dishonest. Despite the $5,000 he charged me and 5 months he held case, Ray Chamberland never went to court. I sincerely hope this review saves another family or couple the heartache we've had.

Worst Attorney in Colorado Springs

Makes promises that he can't keep. Tells you that you have a solid case but $10,000 later the judge dismissed the case. Not only that, he made so many mistakes in the motions that he had to go back and re-write it and charged for his mistakes. Has the worst temper. Doesn't want you to ask questio...ns and if you do he will tell you he is the lawyer, not you. Pompous ass! Here is he worst part, he meets with you initially, is very nice and then doesn't want to meet. Beware!!!!!! I am sick with regret at the loss of money and the disrespect that Chamberland exhibited.

Unprofessional Family Law Lawyer: See Ray Chamberland

I am a military attorney who needed assistance with a legal separation. After $1500 Ray ended up providing zero legal advice regarding a marital separation agreement and billed me for work that I never requested. His staff is extremely unprofessional in appearance and attitude. He will do whatever... he can to not meet and there was never a moment in the relationship that I felt he was working for me, other than getting an inflated invoice.

Positive Experience From a Contentious Child Custody Case

From the beginning Ray did his best to act as mediator between myself and the other parent in a very contentious case. Ray saved me considerable time by encouraging me to create a parenting plan and attempting to negotiate with the other parent. When mediation and negotiations failed and it came to... court hearings and navigating that process I felt that Ray was highly competent and I felt comfortable with his input and guidance. In addition, I felt that Ray's responses to my questions and requests for information were timely. That doesn't mean that when I sent an email he immediately responded or he picked up the phone every time I called. I understood I wasn't his only client but when I needed information to meet a deadline or when a significant date in the parenting plan had arrived I knew he was available to again, help me navigate those stressful and emotional situations. My experience with Ray's staff has also been very positive. I find them helpful and trust them to deliver messages and they have always followed up with me. The outcome of my situation was more than I could have expected. I don't think I could have hired a better attorney to represent me. Everyone needs to find an attorney that "fits" them and I have to say that Mr. Chamberland is the perfect attorney to work with and I would highly encourage you to meet with him. You will find him to be straight forward, level headed and a skilled representative in court.
