Thomas Walk Salt Lake City

I have known Ray since he first started trying cases and watched him grow personally and professionally. He is an outstanding trial lawyer, a great husband and father, and a credit to South Texas and the state of Texas. He also is a person of great faith and integrity whose word is his bond, and he exemplifies all those virtues and values that we respect and aspire to be in supporting the Rule of Law in America.

Hugh Hackney Dallas

Having worked with and against Ray in several matters, I can say from experience that he has that rare combination of high intellect and the ability to clearly distill complex disputes into clear and persuasive jury arguments. More importantly, his colleagues, opponents and the courts can and do rely upon his word as he ethically and zealously advocates for his clients.

Edward Murphy Houston

I have known Ray for twenty-five years and have had the privilege to observe him, fight side-by-side with him and fight against him. That his peers have selected him for Super Lawyers every year the past decade is no surprise to those of us who know him. He is among the nation's best.
