An Amazing and Caring Legal Person

Raymond Churba helped me and my kids in a time where I was ready to give up. He gave me hope and strength to do what I needed to do to get an amazing ending result. Ray believed in me and helped me gain custody of my two beautiful kids. Raymond is a knowledgeable man who is also supportive and caring.... I personaly highly recommend Raymond Churba and would use him again in the future if needed.

Ray is the man!

Ray helped me through undoubtedly the hardest time in my entire life. When reading the following review, keep in mind that he works for a nonprofit organization and did not benefit monetarily from winning this case: My ex and I had beautiful boy, but the relationship soon turned sour and we eventua...lly parted ways. Co-parenting was fairly amicable for a time, until she decided to marry a felon that could not see his own child due to a restraining order. It was at this point that my ex made a series of bad decisions that concluded in child services removing our boy from her presence for around 2 months. Upon reinstatement of her parenting privileges, she immediately took our boy out of daycare without my permission, filed for custody, and the felon husband refused to allow contact to either my boy or my ex. After being served with the custody papers, which had been maliciously worded with untruths that did not portray the reality of the situation, my sense of right and wrong was sent for a loop: how could someone use the legal system in such a vile and twisted way? This internal dialogue invoked a period of cognitive dissonance that tore at my moral fiber, causing me to question the point of being tactful and ethical in the face of such circumstance. Infuriated, I went in search of some sort of legal help and soon found that a traditional lawyer was utterly unaffordable. As a last ditch resort, I contacted legal services in Medford and Ray was assigned to help me. I stopped at the mall before driving home that day and while shopping for shoes, happened to find myself in conversation with the manager who had experienced a similar custody battle. Lo and behold, he had been assigned to Ray and won custody of his two boys (TRUE STORY). I came away from this feeling that my case was not so hopeless. Ray constantly kept me in the loop and explained the process by which we would proceed. In our first appearance in court, he overturned the lies written into my ex’s request for custody and the judge ordered 50/50 parenting time until the final custody hearing. The whole phenomenon was very unnerving for me, but Ray was clearly very experienced and helped me understand everything from his perspective. A few months later, he was directly responsible for me winning custody due to his professional courtroom demeanor and a presentation of the facts that was grounded in tangible moral values instead of legal technicalities. Even after winning custody, the opposing party consistently dragged their bureaucratic feet and this caused a delay in the process. Ray did not miss a beat and worked to circumvent this stall tactic until the order was signed, showing great tenacity in the face of bureaucracy. My boy and I are much happier now; our quality of life has increased exponentially thanks in large part to Ray Churba. I hope this review sheds some light on his efficacy as a lawman and overall excellence as a human being in general.

Outstanding, Respected, and Professional

Raymond Churba is an outstanding lawyer. I came to Mr. Churba in need of legal counsel for my divorce and child custody issue. Right from the start Mr. Churba quickly cleared up some difficulties regarding my case. He helped with a Status Quo order to protect my child's placement with me during the l...ength of time without a permanant custody order. He argued for supervised visitation to provide a safe environment during the process. Mr. Churba was received well by our presiding Judge and had clearly developed a mutual respect between them. I quickly felt great relief in an extremely overwhelming circumstance thanks to Mr. Churba. He means business and does what it takes to get the job done. In my case he personally delivered subpenas to some of the people that were more than difficult to reach. He kept me well informed every step of the way and sent me copies of anything that was filed with the court promptly. I am so relieved to have this divorce behind me and I am so grateful to Ray for helping me through this process. My child and I are now safe and happy; free to live our lives in peace.

The greatest attorney ever

Ray Churba was the first attorney that I have ever dealt with. I was dealing with a custody battle with the father of my children and Mr. Churba did everything he could to help me get custody. And because of him I now have custody of my children. He kept me informed on what was going on and helped me... complete the necessary tasks needed. I would use him again if ever needed and highly recommend him to anyone else. Thank you Mr. Churba.

True understanding, professional and appreciated!

ray is real and understanding of real life family dynamics and behaviors. He helped me through a long year and a half of figuring out my custody and child support case, and I am deeply grateful for the legal support he gave me. I have full custody now of both of my precious daughters, and we can move... on with our lives as we need now...
