Ray, let me take this opportunity to express my appreciation for your professional advice and personal support to me during this ordeal. I recall meeting with you a few years back to prepare our wills, you again displayed the people side of building trust first and then moving into the legal arena. As a Change Management/Leadership Consultant having worked with companies both stateside and abroad, I realized that success is due to building relationships through trust first. That is, the ability to listen,understand and provide direction....you are the best. Thanks again, Dale

Attorney Raymond Pater never failed to remain in direct contact with me for the duration of my custody case. On several occasions he phoned me from his residence to address my concerns and once took the time to return a call while on vacation. He and James TenHaaf, Esq. work diligently and with a sense of urgency. I am extremely satisfied with our experience together and would not hesitate to recommend their services.

Before hiring Mr. Pater, I didn't have much confidence with my case. Not only has Ray given me confidence with his phenomenal knowledge of the law, but he is passionate and understanding as well. I have a rather interesting case as I appear over the phone for all of my hearings due to me being located on the other side of the country, but he has done more than enough to keep me informed and appear on my behalf. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer to support me while dealing with a difficult case. When someone describes a lawyer as a "shark" I think of this guy, because the way the he is able to portray himself and who he is representing is just what one would hope for. If you want someone to give every effort towards your case, while being real with you and helping you understand it, this is your guy!
