Raymond Franklin Anthracite

Ray Anthracite is truly a gem of an attorney! I contacted Ray on a Friday evening regarding a traffic citation. He responded immediately and was kind and respectful, both over the phone and when I met him in his law office. Throughout the course of his representation, I could tell that Ray was extremely knowledgeable and experienced in handling my matter. Right from the outset, Ray made sure he thoroughly informed me about my options and what he could do to help me, which is always greatly appreciated. During my court hearing, Ray went above and beyond, not only as my attorney, but also as someone who understood what I was going through. Ray was always honest and transparent, and he kept me calm and collected throughout the entire process, especially with his lighthearted humor. Ray handled the courtroom like a boss! He was well-prepared in all aspects. Thanks so much, Ray!

Ray is a great attorney — very responsible, quick to respond, and genuinely warm. He handles everything professionally and reliably. I truly trust him and highly recommend him to anyone who needs legal help.

Raymond Anthracite is a lawyer you do not want to underestimate..I have been dealing with multiple lawyers and Ray was by far the BEST so far. Even difficult cases he will be able to ensure a fair trial and actually win. If you are looking for an honest, approachable lawyer with lots of knowledge and who actually cares for the client Ray is your guy. He is easily approachable always answers is honest in his approach ans at the same time a very hard worker.

A peace order was filed against me. I went to Mr. Anthracite and he spoke to me with such calmness. He made me feel at ease. In court, he was able to prove that I didn’t do anything. I highly recommend his services.

Ray Anthracite is a titan in the legal arena. I was faced with a potentially very serious drug charge. When you’re in crisis mode, and you’re uncertain of what to do – Ray is the person you want in your corner. He moves fast and is highly effective. In my specific circumstance, Ray was able to negotiate with the DA to get me the lightest sentence possible – community service. Ray also walked me through all possible outcomes in addition to considering all possible strategies. He demonstrated his commitment to success – he will absolutely follow up with you and make sure you’re doing your part so that he can get you the best possible outcome for your situation. No wonder he graduated from one of the top law schools in the country…UVA.

Ray’s review: I had a great experience with Mr. Anthracite as my legal representation. I lost control of my vehicle and damaged a family’s fence and grass; while driving with expired registration. While I had provided the owner with all of my personal information and insurance, I foolishly left my vehicle after arranging for it to be towed. I did not realize that this would be a potentially incarcerable offense after my forthcomingness with the property owner. Nevertheless, I faced a multitude of fines and possible jail time. Ray was incredibly diligent and helpful in making sure that I did everything possible to lessen the severity of my offense. He routinely followed up on my deliverables, as well as on the important court date and location. I can’t recall where I learned about his services, but he was very reasonably priced when compared with many of the solicitations that I received in the mail. In the end, everything was dropped and I didn’t receive a single fine/charge

A law school professor once chastised me an erstwhile law student: “don’t to confuse “What is Fair” with “The Law.” The punch line: The lawyer was a Jesuit priest. Every now and again, you can find an attorney with both a reverence for “justice” that can handle legal matters with the compassion of a devotee. That is how I would describe Mr. Raymond Anthracite. I worked with Ray for over an 8-month period in relation to an escalating neighborhood dispute; If you are experiencing what may be deemed unjust or completely unsubstantiated civil complaints or spurious criminal claims, I strongly recommend you consult with Ray. I was completely acquitted.

Raymond Anthracite is not your normal suit and tie attorney (while he does dress professionally). He is caring and really focuses on your case and makes you feel like you're his only client. I had received 4 violation notices on my interlock system, almost getting me kicked out of the program. Not only did he win the case for me but he got ALL 4 violations removed. I was speechless. If you are ever in trouble when it comes to your interlock system, this is the man you want to turn to!

Ray Anthracite was fabulous and I would recommend him to anyone. I needed a lawyer in an unusually short time frame and he responded quickly to my case and my needs, even meeting me during weekend hours. He listens with patience and attentiveness and made me feel assured and at ease with my case. His experience and knowledge gave me confidence to approach my court hearing, and he did a fabulous job defending me.

I contacted Mr. Anthracite’s law office after my son received a protective order in the very early hours of 11 August 2017. We met Mr. Anthracite in his office that afternoon, with a court date that was set within days, and he got down to business from the moment we sat down. He handled our case with a precise thoroughness and professionalism that could not be matched, nor denied. We highly recommend Mr. Anthracite to anyone needing to fight an unwarranted protective order.
