Raymond Churba

I cannot praise this man enough. In May, I was dragged into court and bullied, intimidated and just plain mistreated at a time when I should have been enjoying my newborn son. And then, a guardian angel came into my life and fought for my son and I. Ray took on my case and made no lofty promises or a...ssumptions on what the outcome of my case would be. He simply assured me he would accurately navigate the law and fight for my sons’s best interests. He went out, guns blazing for us, and in the end, ensured the law was applied accurately and fairly, in an unfair battle that was started by a person of zero integrity. In the end, He won our case in what many would call a “home run.” Nearly all of the opposing side’s ridiculous rebuttals were dismissed, thanks to Ray’s application of the law, and the judge agreed on all accounts. I’m eternally grateful for Ray. Without him, I likely would have been destroyed in court on my own. He’s direct, intimidating in court (I was definitely grateful he was on my side when i saw him in action), and knows exactly what he’s doing. he spent countless hours on my case and had my back the entire time. I walked into his office feeling scared, defeated and confused about the legal process. I walked out nearly 8 months later with my head held high, now knowing my rights and having a judgment that ensures my son’s best interests are protected. Thank you Ray. You are amazing.

I worked with Ray Churba for a year on a very complex case and he exceeded my expectations at every turn of the road. He was thorough in helping me examine both the tedious details of the case as well as the heart of the matter. A father himself, it was evident that he brought strong values into my c...ase and soon became a trusted ally in the situation at hand. Raymond always took the time to answer my questions, provide professional counsel to my decisions and expedited my process to be efficient and effective. Raymond not only knew family thoroughly, but he also was familiar with the judge, the opposing lawyer and the local professionals. Because of this, he was able to not only look at the legal aspect of things, but also the interpersonal dynamics which was a huge advantage in maneuvering questionable issues. He was honest, to the point, and strong in guiding me through matters in which I had no experience or information. Although his preparations were valuable to me, his greatest competency was in the courtroom hearing. He was composed, confident and clear spoken even in tense moments. Because he knew my case so thoroughly, he knew exactly how to confront my opponents with precision and power. He did not buckle under contention and instead helped to skillfully negotiate in the heat of the moment. He was focused and strong without being arrogant or aggressive, and I appreciated the integrity of having a 'clean fight' very much. He helped me to win a difficult case and come out with more than I was hoping to gain. I believe it was his aptitude and his genuine heart that provided me with such a great outcome and I am truly, forever grateful for his help. My daughter is safe and protected under his care and our lives can continue now with some semblance of normalcy after a tumultuous year; my family is deeply grateful. If you're looking for a lawyer you can really trust, who knows family law, who has a big heart as well as a strong voice, go find Raymond. I proudly recommend him to anyone in need.

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.
