Raymond Fredric Chamberland III

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.

I hired Ray for an Allocation of Parental Responsibilities case. I was impressed with how well he represented me throughout the whole process. He responded to all of my emails in a timely fashion, and when he wasn't available, his paralegals jumped right in to assist me. Ray fought hard for me, and w...as able to give me the outcome that I wanted. He is amazing.

Going through the divorce process is such a stressful time, or so I've heard. My experience was probably easier and less stressful than most and I believe it was because of Ray. He helped every step of the way and all my questions and emails were answered very quickly. My divorce was quick (even with... a child involved) and smooth and I would definitely recommend Ray.

Ray represented me in a contested custody case and did a great job! His office always responded timely to my questions, they were in constant contact with me, they followed through and Ray was well prepared for all hearings. Ray was aggressive in court and obtained a better than expected result for... me and my family. I would recommend him to anyone needing help with a family law case.
