About

Helping clients with their problems has always been my passion.  I wanted to be a lawyer ever since I can remember.  I am still having fun at what I do. I am actively involved in my community and church. I have been a  Greater New Orleans Metropolitan United Way (now known as United Way Southeast Louisiana (UWSELA) volunteer for the past 25 years. I presently sit as the volunteer legal advisor to the Community Impact Coordinating Committee (formerly Council).   I was the former Co-Chair of the Children and Families Goal Area and was responsible for funding children and family programs from 2000-2012.  I served as Chair of the Professional Section for the United Way fundraising campaign in the 1995-1996 campaign year.  My section was acknowledged for its turnaround in campaign donations from the professional community. Donations from the professional community had been declining prior to my tenure. I was a volunteer for the Preservation Resource Center and served as a program fundraising chair in 2005.  I previously chaired rebuild teams in the Rebuild Together (formerly known elsewhere as Christmas in April)  program refurbishing homes of the elderly and the disabled around New Orleans from 1993 to 2003.

My solar company is going bankrupt and the lease I have included panel maintenance at no extra charge. I was worried that the new purchasing company would no longer service the panels (as per my original lease states). Also, I was changing bank accounts were the solar lease is paid from. My solar company was ignoring my inquires. Charles Raymond told me what to do new. Charles told me to contact the attorney handling my solar company's bankruptcy. Thanks to Charles I'm getting the answers I need.

I have found Mr. Raymond to be knowledgeable of a wide array of the legal arena. Specifically, he provided informed and insightful guidance for setting up an LLC, recommended specific incorporation provisions to allow my business to grow, was prompt in his completion of the necessary paperwork, and kept me informed of the status of the process. Mr. Raymond also offered advice on family succession issues. I have also worked with Mr. Raymond in other business matters and have found him to be a highly competent trial attorney, diligent in his preparation and aggressive in his representation of his clients.
