Raymond Churba

I understand that you may go to legal aid because you feel you have no choice. This guy RAY CHURBA is worthless. I fired him and went on my own for awhile...I am a father of three and had a very winnable case. Yet this idiot was unprepared for hearings...losing documents, etc. I sent him an e...mail and asked him to please be more prepared for court and then he filed a motion to get off the case. Turned out to be the best thing. On my own I did much better and then at the end hired a very capable lawyer to finish this thing. Today, I won custody of my children...and in no thanks to Ray Churba. Completely worthless...listen do it yourself...or get the money from someone...go to your church...do a garage sale...anything but RAY CHURBA! I suspect the people that gave 5 stars...those are the ones that won their case. What about the ones that were screwed because RAY CHURBA refused to do his job!

He was a fantastic Lawyer! I initially sought the help from this non profit after hiring a paid attorney who I felt failed to win my case. I ended up going to court on a interstate custody dispute of my 2 year old daughter prior to hiring Mr. Churba and lost horribly. But while in that court proceedi...ng that day, I watched Mr. Churba handle other cases and his courtroom demeanor and really wanted to hire that attorney. However, I am not financially capable of retaining another attorney, so I sought legal services help. Little did I know Mr. Churba was the attorney I had earlier wanted to hire that had now agreed to take on my case probono. Upon meeting Mr. Churba, I was very impressed with how he didn't play into problems to try to get me to retain him, he didnt attempt to make my custody dispute some big court room ordeal. He took great time asking me about my situation, getting the details (without interrogating me) and really just kept it simple and undramatized. He helped me to help him prepare my case by giving advice on who we could call as a witness if needed, what to expect from my judge, and giving suggestions on appropriate interstate parenting plan for my two year old. Mr. Churba was able to reach out to the other attorney and come to an agreement. Get this, I paid an attorney for over a year high prices and never got an outcome-just delayed trials, messy temporary parenting plans, money flying out the window, and my ex and I just being spitful because of the constant disagreements about what an appropriate partning plan would be for us.... I have been working with Raymond Churba for about 3 weeks, and in those 3 weeks he has brought an agreement forward between my ex and myself, the spitefulness has ceased for the most part as my ex and I are in agreement about what in the plan, and this whole time Mr. Churba has made me feel as if I was a high paying client. I have consulted probably 8-10 attorneys on my matter and was never satisfied with what they had to say and felt quite frequently that they were not going to fight for my "tiny problem" custody dispute. I hired an attorney and lost a few thousand dollars without ever getting an out come....but inside of 3 weeks with Mr. Churba, he has got me an outcome. I am very impressed. I would 100% recommend this guy. Very straight forward. No BS. No tactics to keep you intertwined in the legal system (he isn't benefiting financially from my case), he has a great courtroom demeanor, and doesn't just accept whatever is offered to him. He fights fair, and is willing get you a fair outcome.
