About

My office focuses on the representation of all issues to related family law, including paternity, divorce, custody and issues which apply to child support in the State of Illinois.My law office is one of a few which handle enforcement of existing child support orders on a contingency fee basis. I strive each day to obtain the money owed to you and will not be paid until you have the check in your hands! The result of this approach allows me to handle cases this way. My life experience as a child of divorce provides insight to issues and situations which can not be understood by reading an appellate court case or a book on father's rights.  One can not truly know the effects on a child when a parent fails to show up for visitation unless you have waited looking out the window yourself.  My office is physically located in Rockford, Illinois though my experience and use of electronic forms of communication provide me with an ability to assist clients throughout the state.  Gone are the days where a it is necessary in which a  lawyer requires you to make an appointment at his or her office to sit down to review numerous documents with you on your time which in addition you are billed for. The law has been around many years and the legal aspects are constantly changing. The method of communication between a client and attorney should not ignore the use of email communication.  Every voicemail a client leaves is sent directly to my email and to my client's electronic folder. This process not only expedites and allows me to respond to clients 24 hours a day but significantly reduces billing costs.

Don had to endure a lot of delays from an obnoxious opposing counsel. Ultimately she withdrew from the case for whatever reason. I still haven’t figured out why. Maybe because she knew she couldn’t win! Dons fees are very fair and he is honest. I did get the outcome that I wanted in family court. I would recommend Don for his knowledge, patience and persistence. Thank you Don!

I'm very happy I hired Don Ray to handle my divorce case. He was very clear with how this process worked and solved any issues that came up. He was extremely knowledgeable on the entire process and was very reasonably priced. I highly recommend him to anyone wanting a clean and efficient divorce case. I would gladly refer him to friends and family!

Iv had Don as my attorney for almost 3 years. He has been nothing but professional and hard working on my case. He was always fast at responding to my emails (especially during COVID) and always on time to my court appearances. His coaching on what to say and how to act during court and outside of court was top notch. He fought for me and covered every aspect in my case professionally. I would highly recommend the Ray Law Office for anyone going through a divorce and/or custody battle.

Excellent lawyer. He communicated great with me, didn’t waste time, extremely reliable, and professional. He did his job great and accomplished the task at hand extremely well. Would hire again if I had too and would recommend to anyone needing his service in his line of work.

Mr. Don Ray was my divorce attorney during the pandemic. Even with all the changes and policies during the pandemic, Don was still able to be an excellent attorney. He always responded very quickly to my many e-mails. He made sure to forward important details of my case to me immediately. Don was professional when talking to me about my questions and concerns. He was very articulate and kept me informed of my options. He was short and concise when he answered my questions....He did not sugar coat anything, which helped me tremendously. Don was very good at getting the other lawyer involved to respond to questions and agree to adjustments in my divorce. I would and do recommend him for any case involving divorce. He WILL do a great job and you WILL be happy when all is said and done.

Donald helped me with my parenting plan that had to go to court with my childs mother. He was very attentive to my requests, and knowledgeable and firm with the opposing side. He communicated every step of the way and I felt confident he would help me with what I needed and did just that. I would recommend Donald to anyone would work with him in the future if needed.
