"Ray is in a class by himself. Anyone who meets him will recognize this immediately. He is not only a genius, he is perhaps one of the most genuine people I know. Recognized as one of the country's top lawyers, his down to earth attitude is refreshing in an industry known for large egos. I wholeheartedly endorse this lawyer."

"Not all geniuses who go to Harvard law school turn out to be great lawyers like Ray Kahler. Ray is not only one of the smartest people I've ever known, but he has common sense. I am very thankful that Ray is my law partner."

Personal injury lawyer | May 24

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I have had several cases with Ray over the years, usually when he is representing the plaintiff and I am on the defense. Ray is straight-forward, honest and smart. He is a formidable opponent because he does his homework and moves the ball forward...sometimes faster than his opponents would prefer! Ray is deeply involved in community affairs and is active in bar association activities."

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.
