All of the interactions we had with the office were very responsive and professional. We felt heard and cared for and were given great guidance in our area of need. I would highly recommend hiring Rayman and Knight for your legal needs.
Mr. Rayman was extremely knowledgeable, helpful, understanding and I couldnt have asked for a better lawyer. The entire office was polite and they genuinely care. Now adays that is hard to come by.
A selfless attorney that is genuinely concerned about the well being of his clients. Anyone that is searching for legal help can place their trust in Steve Rayman.
Attorney Rayman is the most honest attorney I have ever dealt with. I had a situation that scared me so bad I couldn’t even sleep or eat- financially I was broke dealing with Covid but willing to hire him at any expense. Attorney Rayman helped me with his advice and calmed my nerves right down he is so kind and helpful. Thank you so much Attorney Rayman
Steve and his staff are top notch! They are very thorough in the explanation and all the details involved in the bankruptcy process. They put you at ease with their professional, yet very kind and friendly manner. I would highly recommend Steve if you are considering filing bankruptcy.
I see all these postings of how great Steve and Jo are which is absolutely true, but Jacque is a sweet heart as well. Words cannot begin to tell you what truly wonderful and knowledge individuals these folks are. I have been through the roughest few years of my life and the compassion, guidance, professionalism and friendships made at Rayman and Knight have given me hope when all I had was despair. It is a reminder that there are still truly good people in the world. Thank you!
Outstanding group of Professionals that: Truly know what to do! & How to do it Correctly!I Highly Recommend ( = their entire Team) Rayman & Knight for Any or All your Bankruptcy Needs!Im sooo Grateful to have them on my side! Really! Fantastic People who care for your Best Outcome!!!
I would like to say thank you especially to Jo for making me feel comfortable with the whole process!! Really great Law office. Thank you
Was very nervous when I went to Rayman & Knight and ashamed of my situation. Was referred to them by my attorney and am I glad of that, you can leave all the jokes about lawyers at the door here as they made me feel so at ease with some humor and did not feel like they were trying to get rich off of me. This attorney and staff are fun to be around, they made me fall in love with them.
Great staff, willing to go above and beyond to help anyone. Im very pleased and I will say Mr.Steve and staff keep up the wonderful work you guys are the best.
If your searching for the right BK attorney for you congratulations! Your search is over.If you’re anything like I was, this was not a fun time of life at the moment. I remember the feelings of drowning, not sure what to do. It seemed like everything I tried was sinking me further. Just the thought of talking to a bankruptcy attorney made my stomach churn. But I knew I had to do something.I called Rayman & Knight and set up a visit to discuss my conversation. Jackie had seemed pleasant enough on the phone, but now I was sitting in the waiting area with my knees knocking. Looking back, I don’t know how it was possible, but Steve and Cody completely understood where I was coming from. They even got a laugh or two out of me when I was not in a good place mentally.Through the process, the staff at Rayman & Knight was there for every question, thought, and helpful tip all the way through. Steve and Cody, the attorneys, clearly know the laws surrounding bankruptcy and utilized every legal method available to provide relief for myself and family. Jackie was always very friendly and Jo, the paralegal, was a God-send. The entire staff is extremely professional, but perhaps even more impressive, very human. I did not anticipate the level of calm I felt by hiring Rayman & Knight to help me through this process.If you’re even wondering if filing BK is in your best interest and all the possible ramifications, it would be a mistake not to call Rayman & Knight. They were able to walk me through my options and help us, and I know they can help you too.Oh… and if you’re wondering about the end result… it was better than we could have imagined. Bankruptcy is designed for good people that have had some tough things happen in their lives. I encourage you to stop beating yourself up like I did and pick up the phone. Peace is on the other side of the phone.Steve L.
Rayman & Knight is a professional firm with great knowledge, insight, and advice for complicated business evaluations, while taking the time for the personal considerations involved.After more than a decade of time, sweat and personal investment, we found our family businesses at a crossroad that we thought required expertise beyond our knowledge. Our attorney referred us to Mr. Knight.Cody Knight took the time to listen to our situation, thoroughly evaluate both what we said and what we brought for his review. Mr. Knight listened to what we thought, where we thought we were and where we wanted to take our business. He asked questions, and listened to our replies.I am very happy to report that we followed his advice, and were able to successfully resolve our concerns better than we had thought possible before we sat down with him. I cannot express our appreciation for the time, advice and kindness we were afforded when we felt we were in need.
My Dad knew and worked with Steve for probably 20 to 25 years. I have worked with him for about 10 years. Steve is awesome! And the firm is great! And we have never filed bankruptcy. Steve and the team have good reasonable ways to work things out and to avoid bankruptcy, if that makes sense. I work with Steve on an ongoing basis for business planning and strategy. I really appreciate working with them.
Steve Rayman is so well respected in his field that I was referred to him from the opposite end of the state. In addition, Steve will only provide you with the services you need--nothing more. Only the most honest of professionals do that. You will be in good hands with Attorney Rayman.
Took me nearly a year of scrimping but Steve and Jo were ready when I was finally able to file. They even caught a social security debt I had thought could not be discharged, extremely thorough, responsive representation. Highly recommend R&K.
Rayman & Night are a fantastic Law Firm that excels at what they do. Steve Rayman and his associates helped turn-around a dire situation for my business through their knowledgeable expertise. Their efforts have resulted in my company today being healthy, viable, with a bright future.The crash of ’08 and ’09 brought my company to the brink of collapse. Making things even worse, my company’s mortgage bank filed for bankruptcy itself, making it impossible to renegotiate the note to more favorable terms. Steve’s prior relationships to all interested parties including several branches of the government, and his thoughtful and confident demeanor allowed a Restructuring Plan to be designed to succeed in saving the company, and one that all involved could support. Years later, the Plan has worked and is now behind us all. My customers, my employees, my vendors, and my family couldn’t be more pleased.I did my research before choosing Steve and his office. If you need a bankruptcy attorney in West Michigan, I’m telling you, he is it. And, as I told Steve, he almost made this ordeal fun. I know how dark things seem if you find yourself in this situation. Talk to Steve. He will show you the best way out.
Steve and Jo provided a great service, and a seamless process. They are knowledgeable, friendly, and very courteous. They are honest, and were extremely friendly, and answered all of my questions throughout the process. I couldnt have imagined having any other lawyer guide me through this difficult situation.
The professionalism of Steve Rayman and his staff was unmatched during a time that was personally stressful and depressing. Steve has given us guidance and friendship through laughter and tears for 30+ years. I highly recommend Steve if faced with the possibility of bankruptcy, you will receive thorough explanation of the process and all the help needed by Jo and Jacque with all the details. My utmost respect to Steve Rayman and Staff.Respectfully,Bill Engel
Steve Rayman is an exceptional lawyer. He represented me in a loan dispute, and delivered successfully, what he promised. He came all the way to Chicago, for our first meeting, and continued to give me the feeling that I was special, throughout his engagement . I would say he has many strong skills . He is creative and able to think of reasonable solutions that are not extremely costly . He is logical and able to earn trust . He has perseverance, is patient, and has a calming influence. He communicates well, as does his staff. He bills fairly, and is excellent at strategy . He loves jokes, and enjoys a healthy sense of humor His persuasive skills, resulted in a very satisfactory outcome for me . He earned my respect and my highest recommendation -- a ten plus .
Steve Raymond is a sterling example of integrity. Throughout all of our time working together, he kept us comfortable while providing honest advisement. The quality of his service was remarkable. From every detail of our specific case to additional matters that he brought to our attention, he provided invaluable expertise that has not only helped our company to recover but will protect us for years to come. Because of Steves unrelenting drive to deliver his clients world class service, our company is back on track and now thriving again.
Hello All, I want to take the time to write an honest Review about Rayman & Knight. Before I started my process in searching for an attorney office I didn’t even really know if I wanted to file bankruptcy. In my mind, I knew I really needed to file. I then started to search several Bankruptcy attorneys and no one answered except Rayman & Knight. From there I said hmm, this attorney just may be the one. Of course I read up on them and their achievements and I liked what I saw. So, they told me to bring all my necessary documents and they started my process quickly after paying my part. Overall, they are professional and trustworthy with your Bankruptcy process. I wouldn’t worry about the court date with the trustee; just make sure everything is accurate and your Bankruptcy process will be Alright. Taking this journey is the best decision and now I’m relieved from worrying about unnecessary debts. Definitely give them a call!
Steve Rayman, Jo and his team guided me back to sanity with compassion, kindness, generosity and superior expertise in bankruptcy law. I entered their office with deep overwhelmingly shame and left with hope.There are no words to express my gratitude. Now I know why Rayman and Knight are so highly recommended.
My wife and I were dealing with a unreasonable company and lawyer. I was referred to Steve by a mutual friend. Steve was courteous, confident, and didnt hesitate to assist me and my wife in completing our bankruptcy case. He reviewed our information and discussed what needed to be done in a productive, knowledgeable, and professional manner. Because of Steve Rayman and his assistant, my family is now able to get our lives back on track....you were a God send.ThanksThe Wilson Family
If I were able to give 6 stars to this office, I sure would, as the results of my experience with Steve Rayman, Attorney, Jo Heath, Paralegal and the office staff! My experience was one of the most positive experiences, for something I never thought I would have to go through in my life. Steve has one of the most comforting personalities, sense of humor, and most of all I was so impressed with his knowledge of the Bankruptcy Law. You never have to worry about being short changed on hiring this Team. I would personally have and would recommend this firm that finds themselves in this situation.
Steve Rayman and his terrific staff have not only helped my wife and I through very difficult times but has also provided guidance in the years since. We most heartedly recommend Steve to anyone needing honest, expedient, and affordable legal help. We have had the pleasure of using Rayman and Knight on several occasions and always received personable, comforting help every time. When one looks for an attorney, you have to find one that has the time and patience to listen to you, to put your mind at ease knowing you are in good hands. There is truly no one else I would trust other than Rayman and Knight to handle my legal affairs.
Steve Rayman represented me in a very difficult case and I was very satisfied with his efforts. His attention to detail and looking out for my best interest was thoughtful and represented by his hard work. I would have him represent me again without a doubt.
Visited the offices of Rayman & Knight for information on a bankruptcy for a family member. Met with Cody Knight who steered me in the right direction. He is very knowledgeable and easy to talk with on sensitive financial matters.The setting was comfortable and Cody does have the clients interest at heart. I will definitely use him for my future legal needs.E. Kuczynski
They treated me like family and helped me get the best results. Better than I anticipated. I highly recommend their services.
For anyone who is feeling hopeless and helpless, living in daily fear of your financial future, you must call the office of Rayman & Knight in downtown Kalamazoo. Cody and Jo made my experience less painful, and they helped me out of a very dark place in my life. In addition to being the best attorneys, they are wonderful people who made me feel whole and worthy again. It was comforting to feel they actually cared about me as a person, as well as a client. My life is changed because of Cody Knight and Jo Heath. Thank you!
I have had the pleasure and the opportunity to know and work personally with Steve Rayman and Cody Knight for over twenty five years.. Their advise and service has been unparalleled. Not only are they very knowledgeable, but they care about the people they are working with, who sometimes are facing difficult times and decisions.In addition, I have had the pleasure and opportunity to work with Steve and Cody as a consultant on matters where my expertise was helpful. It was through this involvement that I really understood how knowledgeable they are about the law and the process, and how respected they are in the courts and the surrounding legal community. This is very important because one of the first statements in your filings and when you appear in a legal proceeding is, they are represented by Rayman & Knight ... advantage you ...
I had a great experience working with Steven Rayman. When I was first served I went in to start the bankruptcy process but he managed to negotiate an out of court settlement with the plaintiff at the very last minute which has essentially saved my finances. He managed all this even after there was a judgement against me. Most importantly, Rayman could have collected a huge fee from me by going along with my bankruptcy plans but he was honest in informing me that there was a good chance of settling out of court, saving me thousands of dollars.
Bankruptcy is a devastating experience. It can seem as if your life is ending. Steve Rayman brings a compassion and patience, combined with brilliant professionalism, to this horrifying experience. I have worked with Steve as both a client and later as a consultant for his other clients. Time and again I am amazed at Steves ability to calm the storm and steer the ship into the harbor. Further, his reputation with the judges in the bankruptcy courts is second to none. There in no more highly respected attorney practicing bankruptcy law in western Michigan than Steve.
Steve and Jo were great to work with, they are thorough, they make you feel comfortable, and at a time of insecurity, they made a tough decision for me, to be the right solution. Great people to work with.
Steve Rayman and Jo Heath did an outstanding job helping me through the process of bankruptcy. I had no clue about the procedure, and they walked me and my wife through it, explaining every step along the way. They made a bad experience much much better. I would highly recommend this law firm to anyone.
Steve Rayman and Jo Heath made the best out of a very bad situation.This was the lowest point of my life. They provided both laughter and superb legal advice .I would recommend this firm to anyone!
Steve Rayman and his entire team were fantastic! Ken and I first met Steve at his office 3 years ago. His patience, humor and true concern about his clients was something that I truly never expected from an attorney or a firm. When we walked in we felt as though our situation was doomed. Steve listened and as I continued to want to do something different than what he said; he had his partner Cody walk through it with us as well. He never said I told you so or looked at only one option...we explored many to find a solution. He believed in Ken and I. His support and guidance even on matters not related to our original request has never waivered. I know that Ken and I not only respect Steve and his team; but consider them friends.
Steve Rayman and his staff have incredible passion and integrity to help you and your family! I would highly recommend Mr. Rayman! I believe that they are the best in the business! Thank you!
Cody and Jo are fantastic people to work with. They helped our situation tremendously! Definitely would recommend this firm!!!
After 4 years out of Chap 11 reorg.... I can honestly say that we would not be where we are todaywithout the guidance and friendship of the Law Firm of Rayman & Knight. Everyday in my office next to my 2 computer flat screens I glance up at the framed Exibit A and Final Decree Court Orders that hang there on my wall so I never forget being on that ledge and where we are now on very solid ground.Thank goodness for Steve and his gang of professionals,Marty MasonCEOSunset Tool Inc
Cody was most helpful with my situation. Outstanding service, definitely above and beyond! Thank you!
When I walked in the door for my first meeting, I was nervous and depressed. I was to meet with Cody Knight and get the ball rolling. As I was walking back to the room for the meeting I walked past Steve Raymans office. He look at me and said without missing a beat.Why are you here? Were not very good! That made me laugh and I knew right then, if you can make me laugh, I am in the right place. :-)From then on everyone who I met, Cody Knight, Jo Heath, and Jacque Wilcox, were great to work with! I have dealt with a couple lawyers in my life but they treated me with distain. Not these guys, always with dignity and a light hearted tone. Very happy that I went with this team. Professional, but down to earth at the same time.Thanks to all of you for making a bad situation a fun one!Regards, Tom Mitchell
What more can i say, outstanding staff.
Cody Knight has helped us on numerous occasions I would recommend his firm for anyone needing a legal problem attended to.
These guys help
They were excellent to work with and anytime I had a question, they always helped me through it! Mr. Rayman was very professional and courteous & was able to get my case through efficiently! Overall I was very happy to use this business!
