- AdoptionIf I could give a 100/100 I would. Attorney Raymond Waldo was on our two cases for a combined 3 years. Our step parent adoption for our child was handled with care and respect. It seemed uncomplicated at first and then was contested. He made us feel confident and comfortable through out the entire thing. Something as stressful as family court could be was handled with honesty and compassion. I can’t speak highly enough of this attorney’s hospitality and capability. One of the most knowledgeable men I’ve ever met. Highly spoke of by all whom he works with and those who know him in the community. Respectful of your time, your money and your case. Kind. Always answers or gives a call back. This man changed my family’s life, two cases back to back. And I mean that literally we shook hands and ended one case and began the next, that week. Our second case with him was the most complicated twisted mess you could possibly think of... Around every turn was a road block. Every single thing that could go wrong felt like it was. My case was as drawn out as humanly possible in probate and Covid didn’t help. But with the persistence of my attorney We did it. Mr. Waldo did everything he could to get our case done and that he did. Probate was not easy but it was resolved for us by him and I don’t think any other person could have made what he made happen... happen. It took so much time and so much effort. If he didn’t know the answer he found it. He was professional and it goes without saying. If you’re looking for an attorney you can depend on, someone experienced, knowledgeable on every level. If you’re doing your research.. like I did. This attorney did not disappoint and my life was put together with the help of Raymond Waldo. I will never forget this experience and I can without a doubt say it all worked out in the end. I’m grateful for someone like this. Highly recommended and trusted! I will always recommend him to family and friends. We are forever grateful for his services truly Thank you.
