This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Nice work Ray Brooks!

Ray did a great job taking care of my claim. He explained the process to me when I first met with him. He negotiated with the insurance company, didn't settle too soon and assured me that he was moving the process forward. He even worked on the claim after he was paid to get some more money for me. ...

Unresponsive, failed to take action.

Ray started well with the initial phone call, but after that never communicated anything unless directly called. Never responded to a single e-mail, never had any status update when called. Only seemed to do anything when on the phone, and was obviously scrambling because he hadn't done anything, w...hen I initiated the call. My case didn't seem to matter to him. Poor experience, would not recommend.

Responsive, Expert Litigator

I am a 20+ year lawyer, but I am not a litigator. When I need a litigator, I start and end with Ray Brooks. He is an expert litigator and zealous advocate who, in a couple of cases, has gotten better results for me than I expected. Ray is as responsive as any lawyer I have ever worked with. He has a ...good heart and willingly gives his time to make sure matters are handled properly, including matters that are outside the scope of the pending case but are important to his clients. I could not recommend Ray more strongly.

Sets things right.

The settlement was many times over what the insurance company first offered. The best legal advice and professional care one could hope for. I highly recommend Ray Brooks.

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Experienced, Fearless, Results-oriented Attorney

I couldn’t be happier with Ray and was completely impressed on his willingness to listen, no matter how complex the case. While I only consulted with him on a probate litigation matter, Ray was fearless to pick up the phone and call the opposing party on my behalf to resolve matters once and for all.... Ray is hands down one of the most responsive, compassionate, experienced and professional attorneys around. I highly recommend him.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
