Hired Attorney Charles Ray Jr.

I was referred to Attorney Ray to assist me with a significant tax debt that I owed, but due to unavoidable circumstances was unable to pay. Attorney Ray worked with me through my IRS issues that were insurmountable by me as well as by other attorneys that I worked with prior to meeting Attorney Ray. My nerves were gone and I almost gave up, but Attorney Ray stayed with me throughout this challenge and accomplished what no one else could. I did not have to face the IRS alone and I was able to reach more than fair settlement with them due to the benefit of Attorney Ray’s intimate knowledge of the law, extensive experience with dealing with the personalities in the IRS, and mutual respect shared between Attorney Ray and IRS officials. Attorney Ray is the ONLY attorney that I would refer to anyone with legal tax challenges, large and small. He is patient, kind, smart and tenacious. Attorney Ray is simply THE BEST!

Hired Attorney Charles Ray Jr.

Being in the legal field myself, I have had the opportunity to interact with numerous attorneys over the years. Of all of the attorneys that I have worked with, or referred people to, Charles Ray, Esq. is unquestionably one of the most outstanding attorneys I have come in contact with. Moreover, at the point where I needed to engage his services, Mr. Ray was exceptionably knowledgeable and extremely responsive. He was excellent at helping me understand the options that were available to resolve my situation, and counseled me through the process of securing a successful outcome. I would highly recommend Charles Ray. He is an excellent attorney! OVB

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
