Raymond Fredric Chamberland III

Ray and his staff were focused and efficient with time and money. They also proved their experience in my case, and thought of things, I never would have. I felt confident going into meetings and in dealing with the other party that I had the better attorney on my side. Very thankful that I ch...ose Chamberland Law compared to the other options I was looking into.

I hired Ray to represent me in my divorce. I was a stay at home mom for 18 years with 5 children and my husband was divorcing me because I would not let him move back home unless he quit drinking. I was very concerned with the children living with their dad for 50% of the time since he was an alcohol...ic. Ray got the court to appoint a child family investigator and said he was my best friend and that he would do an investigation and determine what was best for my kids. I paid the investigator 4500.00 dollars which my ex was responsible for half. Ray never made Dave (ex husband) pay his half but just kept billing me for email exchanges with my ex's attorney. He knew I had no money as my ex was not paying me anything and should have just stopped the ridiculous back and forth over silly things. When we finally went to court the judge threw out the investigation because of some grammatical errors. It was also very thick and Ray had not read it nor did he have the Dr who wrote it there to testify, which the judge wanted. I asked for 2 things- any support my ex husband owes my to be auto pay as he won't pay it and to keep my survivor benefit plan. Ray did neither and on top of the 4,500.00 I paid the family investigator, I paid Ray 12,000.00. He said i still owed him money and would not talk to me until I paid what I owed. The judge had said DFAS was to determine my portion of my husband's pension I should receive as Ray could not figure it and he would not help me to fill out the papers until I pay him more. As always my ex did not pay me and I could not pay him. I had to borrow money and hire another attorney to fix what he wrote incorrectly in the divorce papers. I paid 8,000.00 more to fix it. Now he is suing me for 10,000.00. I am totally not kidding- I have been working hard in nursing school and getting loans to pay off the second attorney. This is devastating. I would never not pay what I thought to be a fair amount, but I spent 16,500.00 on my divorce with Ray and he didn't even write it correctly or do anything I asked. I thought he was very unethical in the end. I should have reported him to the bar but it has been so overwhelming for me I can barely write about it. I would think twice unless you have a lot of money to waste with this guy.

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.

Ray represented us during our relocation case. It was a very contentious case and the other party refused to cooperate. Ray led us through the process with professionalism and integrity and in the end we won full custody and were allowed to move with the kids. He genuinely cared about the well bei...ng of the kids and took the time to learn about them and their personalities. Even though at times we felt helpless and that there was no end in sight, Ray kept us on track and we came out on top.

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.
