I could not have had a better attorney. Ray and his staff were very honest from the very beginning. Ray was able too secure a good settlement for me. But, this was not about the money for me. This was about keeping my honor and integrity, this was about being treated unfairly and working in an environment that was very hostile simply because I am a person of color. This employer allowed and condones this culture that has always been and norm for this institution. This was about trying to change the culture because this type of racially discriminatory behavior should not be acceptable. Ray understood this and he never tried to convince met do anything that I did not believe was right. Ray truly cared about what this fight meant to me. If you are looking for a lawyer that will always be honest with you, genuinely care about your opinion, and what you think? I highly recommend and cannot encourage you enough to reach out to Attorney Raymond Dinsmore. There is no attorney that will work harder representing you.

I cannot say enough good things about Ray. He took the time to understand my situation and then negotiated a really good settlement.

Raymond Dinsmore was phenomenal council. He was more than attentive to my needs and special circumstances and compassionate to my cause. He was communicative about updating me throughout and generally available for questions. He got me the outcome I was looking for. I would absolutely recommend his services for anyone in need of council in the area. Thanks Raymond!

Raymond and his firm helped me through a job transition in a most supportive and realistic manner. Atty. Dinsmore was very knowledgeable about the true legal issues vs. emotional reactions to a job transition. I highly recommend his firm for employee-employer resolutions and the stress-free experience working with them.

Attorney Dinsmore helped when three other lawyers refused my daughter's case. My daughter has disabilities and was discriminated against while employed. I contacted the first firm, who said they weren't able to take the case....They recommended another firm they felt might help my daughter. This ocurred a total of three times before Attorney Dinsmore was suggested. My daughter and I met with him and found him interested, compassionate and understanding of all we hoped to accomplish by bringing my daughter's discrimination issue to the attention of MCAD. Even though my daughter's case was nothing earth shattering...as far as the other firms insinuated...Attorney Dinsmore was respectful about the importance of the situation to us. He kept us up to date throughout theState's lengthy process, and made us feel that he was there if/when we had any questions or concerns. Loooong story short, Attorney Dinsmore won our case. We achieved what we had intended ( in all ways) by coming out on top! We highly recommend Attorney Dinsmore for any type of legal issues concerning employment. In addition, we would also most definitely return to him for any other legal issues he is an expert in. We are completely satisfied with every aspect of his assistance with my daughter's case. We are both positive that anyone who accepts Attorney Dinsmore's legal assistance will be more than satisfied with all that he offers...both emotionally and legally!!

I initially retained Attorney Dinsmore to represent me in a unemployment wage hearing. During our initial meeting Attorney Dinsmore pointed out there were other compensations that I might be entitled to as well. After securing my unemployment benefits Attorney Dinsmore arranged a meeting with a firm specializing in unpaid wage compensation. While the case proceeded he kept me well informed of all proceedings in a very timely matter and served as a excellent liaison between myself and all legal parties involved in the case. Working together the two firms were able to bring the case to fruition and secure settlement payment. Attorney Dinsmore is extremely easy to talk to, diligent and very professional. I would highly recommend this attorney to give the best legal representation. He will always put his clients first.

Attorney Dinsmore was an excellent attorney to work with. He made pursuing my unpaid overtime case a very simple process and was extremely helpful when it came to explaining my options and helping me complete my goal of receiving what I had rightfully earned . I would recommend him to any one .

In dealing with professional issues last year, I hired a big legal firm in Boston, and then used Ray for the employment law component of the case. Without going into detail, I can say that I got incredible results from Ray (and not so great results with the expensive Boston firm). At stake was $15,000 of Unemployment Benefits that my unscrupulous former employer was contesting. At the hearing, Ray decimated the other side, showing not only that I deserved the benefits, but that my employer had not even followed their own policies. Ray understood the system, knew the players, and came to the proceedings well prepared and ready to fight for my rights. And unlike most attorneys I have encountered, his fee was reasonable and fair. I am forever grateful for his help and recommend him without reservation.

Attorney Dinsmore successfully assisted me with my employment age discrimination case over the past three years. We worked through the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination. During this time I found him to be excellent in all categories. I would highly recommend Attorney Dinsmore.
