About

  I happen to be a very strong believer and defender of the rights provided by our constitution.  I have carried a rifle on three continents as an Army officer.  My father was an Army officer and my younger son was an Army officer.  I believe the "rights" afforded by our constitution were a response by our founders to the earlier "wrongs" inflicted upon the British citizens.  Those of us who practice criminal law are actually practicing, to a large extent, constitutional law.  We have the best country and legal system in the world. Today certain Americans are deployed worldwide in dangerous situations to afford us the luxury of freedom and, as part of that freedom, we are able to enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

When I needed legal representation, one of the best decisions I ever made was to call Ray Forbess, SR. He handled every aspect of my case diligently and professionally. He always responded promptly to questions, returned my calls and offered honest advice. The consequences of the case we're better than expected. I would strongly recommend Raymond Forbess and this law firm to anyone seeking legal representation. JMJ

Raymond, I would highly recommend him. He was honest, sincere and made me feel at ease. He walks me through the whole legal process so I would totally understand the process. He is an attorney on your side, not looking for a payday. Great job. He is my attorney from now on. Thank You.

I contacted Ray after my son was arrested for possession. He went to work right away, so my son knew he wasn't alone. He advised me what I had to do to save my son's life. It was hard but thank God I listened to him. He was able to get him into the Matrix system which changed my son's life. It has been 3 years and he is doing great. Thank you Ray and Ray, Jr. for everything.

Ray Sr. represented my grandson in a juvenile case. Ray was able to get my grandson probation instead of serving time which is generally the sentence in this type of case. He always answers the phone and explains things where you can understand them. Thanks Ray!!

What an AWESOME firm! Ray Sr and Ray Jr are superb Attorneys with a strong focus on delivering their client's desired outcome. I was in need of legal expertise to stop a civil matter from legally escalating and perhaps turning into a criminal matter. These guys did exactly that and delivered perfect results. While yes they are no-nonsense they are very epathetic and effective and having never been through a legal proceeding before that was exactly what I needed. Job well done!!
