He was an excellent lawyer and though I've not seen his work as a criminal attorney (only family law), I have read his client and peer reviews. It looks as though he is doing as well in his current area of law as he did in his former area. I wouldn't put that past Ray! I assume that he can do anything he wants to do! He sure is smart and court savvy!"

I continue to watch him in Court, and notice that he always earns the respect of prosecutors and judges. Clients will find him compassionate, and caring. I often notice how much energy and time he devotes to explaining matters carefully to Clients to make sure they understand not only a document or a Court ruling, but how legal stuff will effect their lives in the future.
