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.

Was in search of an Attorney

I would recommend Ray Chamberland to others based on skill & knowledge. Just in consultation I felt this attorney has the ability to represent fearlessly. Although we decided to opt out of having legal representation in our matter, from the short time spent in conversation, I would return in the even...t future representation was needed. Thank you for your service to our country Mr. Chamberland.

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.

Divorce and Child Custodial Arrangement.

Ray and his team did a great job for me in my divorce. They all kept me informed, was a difficult case and had multiple times in court for other reasons and won every battle against some odds. Gave me wise advise in not accepting mediation offer that was put on the table I've referred several friends... to him and have a friend that had same results.

Child custody

Horrible lawyer. We hired him for our relocation. Afterwards our plans have changed and we didnt have to relocate any more. He talked us into going for a temporary full custody while my ex was gone. We ended up loosing the hearing: 1) He didnt communicate with us for 3 months, and I heard from him... 1 week before the hearing; 2) We communicated with his paralegal who didnt return my phone calles for days and charged me for trying to contact her again; 3)He forgot that we had hearing on Monday and thought he still had time till Wed to get ready for it. 4) He didnt show up for the mediation and I was sitting there like an idiot waiting for him to show up. I refused a deal that would have benefited my son in a long run because of it; 5) My child support increased by $50 and we paid $8000 in fees; 6) My son ended up living half time with my ex's elderly parent (75 years of age), and he never lived with them or stayed with them ever in his life-they live in a different state and never stayed with us under one roof when they visited. 7) he is completely rude and unprofessional; 8) He double charged us on our fees and made us pay for the check with overcharged amount that he sent to us TWICE. I truly hope someone will suspend his license to practice law in CO. This lawyer is totally useless.
