I have had the pleasure of collaborating with attorney Raul Ray in cases dealing with complex immigration issues. Many of my clients who are charged with committing a criminal offense face potential deportation. Mr. Ray has assisted me countless times in arranging dispositions that minimize or eliminate devastating immigration consequences. He is extremely knowledgeable and thorough, and goes the extra mile to help his clients.
