I was in my senior year of college when I reached out to Ray. It was just after finding out from the schools administration about a false allegation of sexual assault the allegedly occurred durning the first few weeks of my freshman year. I was scared, confused, and worried. Unlike in court, to “win” an allegation of sexual assault the complainant only needs to prove that it’s “more likely than not” (50% and a feather) a violation occurred (not beyond a reasonable doubt). At my school, out of the 16 reports in 2017, 14 had resulted in expulsion for the respondent. The odds were not in my favor.
I called over ten different attorney offices throughout the state, and none had any experience with Title IX (the governing document for universities across the country that lays out the guidelines for handling allegations on campus). Ray immediately made time in his schedule to see me the next day. After our free consultation, Ray helped me through every step of the process. He was available for coaching and counseling throughout the entire process of the investigation, insuring that our response to all of the questions would not lead to any legal consequences for me after the fact. As a college student without a lot of money, Ray was able to be very transparent with his billing and budgeting throughout the entire process.
Ray coached me through how to properly respond to interview questions, and helped me write all of my statements and responses to the complainant's statements. The process took over four months, and I was found not responsible for the false allegation.
Without a doubt, Ray has a wide range of knowledge pertaining to many fields of law. I could not have gotten through my senior year without his help - in fact I am certain that without his help I would have been kicked out of school for something I had not done. Thank you Ray. I look forward to retaining you for my future legal needs should they arise.
It took a while for all my process but he guide me very professionally and nicely .
Finally I got my all legal documents approved with green card and this all I appreciate to him cause he is so professional and he knows what is the right time to submit any documents and time frame for all process.
I strongly recommend to every body who are still thinking for right attorney chose only him cause I am 100 percent positive with him and what he do effort to prepare right documents and suggestions for us he worth more than that.

Despues de haber sido rechazados por imigracion una vez, acudimos con Ray para ser asesorados, nos apoyo en todo el proceso y ahora tengo mi green card!!
Thank you Ray!
He was very well organized, prompt, and knowledgeable of immigration laws and policy. Thank you, Ray!
when they asked me if I can help them to find a good lawyer, I inmediately taught of Ray Scheetz. I called his office and schedule an appoitment with him. He took the case and the family already received the communication from the immigration office that the case was received and it is in process. I highly recommended Ray Scheetz as an immigration lawyer.

His advice helped make the process go very smoothly. He walked us through the process step by step and had great communication.
Ray is not only a very professional and competent lawyer,but he’s an incredibly compassionate and caring person. I have my own business and my clients LOVE personal touch. Unfortunately as a customer you don’t get it very often anymore,but with Ray I felt it every time!
Highly recommend if you’re looking for a professional and a great person
Thank you!!!!!!
We started with a brief and free interview, when we shared the basics about our case. We conclude to work together in our case.
During the first appointment, we shared all the requested information. It was a two hours meeting and, at the end, we had all the applications ready to be submitted to USCIS. We really appreciate to Mr. Sheetz the way that he explained the requirements, very easy to understand.
On July 5th, USCIS received our applications and send us the receipts.
Following a process without RFE, my wife received her work and travel permit in September 2016.
Because of some personal matters, my wife traveled 2 times outside US. Mr Scheetz promptly answered to our e-mails and gave us the right advises, in a very complicated situation. The traveled happened twice, in December 2016 and April 2017, each time we came back in US without any problems,
We had the interview on May 8th. We has a 2 hours appointment with Mr. Scheetz, who explain us the interview process and how to conduct the answers from the immigration officer. Also, he suggested to have an interpreter, which was a very important decision in our case.
The interview when very well and, at the end of the day, we had the green card process approved.
Overall, Mr. Sheetz helped us to have a very clear and straightforward green card process!
Thank you!
The entire process from start to green card was 10 month.
Thank you.
He has a lot of experience, is timely, precise and extremely professional.
Mr Sheetz can navigate quite complicated cases and will not hesitate to tell you if he doesn't feel comfortable accepting your money.
My experience has taught me that: good professionals can be expensive, but cheap ones are almost always way more expensive.
He guided me in every detail. He gave me all the needed information regarding every step and helped me with all the papers. I had a pretty unique and complicated case and waisted time working with another lawyer first.
I am glad I met Mr Scheetz. He did a great job and I have received my visa. I highly recommend him!
