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 ...

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 Steve's unrelenting drive to deliver his clients world class service, our company is back on track and now thriving again.

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 Steve's 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 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!

Cody Knight has helped us on numerous occasions I would recommend his firm for anyone needing a legal problem attended to.

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.

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!

I retained Matthew back in June of 2014. I was referred to him by another attorney to handle my child custody case. I met with Mr. Miller June 5, 2014. He asked for $3,000 up front and told me he would get to working on my case. In the mean time he advised me to keep my kids away from their dad per our current JOD didn't reflect the parenting time my ex was currently doing. Months went by and nothing was filed with the courts and my phone calls and text messages to Matthew went unanswered. My ex husband ended up retaining an attorney and I was served with papers. I contacted Matthew and he told me he needed those papers, so I drove to his office and dropped them off to him. He told me he was going to call the opposing attorney and get back with me.. He NEVER called. August 19th, 2014 at 8:30am was our court date for the show cause hearing. Matthew showed up over an hour late for court, have me, the judge and the other attorney three different stories as to why he was late. When we finally started the hearing Matthew just sat there, never objected to anything. Matthew came unprepared for court, no file with any of the documents I had provided him with all along. I was threatened with going to jail and Matthew did nothing. The judge ended up stopping the hearing due to Matthew being extremely unprepared and late. I told Matthew the next day he was fired and asked for my money back because he did nothing to earn that $3,000. I have tried and tried to get a hold of Matthew and he refuses to answer me. I have never received a bill from Matthew explaining where he earned any of my money. I had to retain another attorney to try to clean up the mess Matthew created.

I have made him payments and thought at first maybe he would be good. But not, it took him 2 1/2 months from I had my wife served with custody and divorce, to get it into the courts for Custody, in the mean time my wife was playing games with my 2 year old and my 4 year old against me, and I tried to get a hold of him, no return calls and no acknowledgement of receipt of e-mails for over 3 weeks at time, and his voice mail was always full and couldn't leave any messages. Only time he would answer my calls is when he wanted more money. He didn't even object when the Judge or her attorney was saying wrong information. He didn't answer my questions because couldn't get a hold of him when I really needed to. We had Mediation, but he didn't even help that much in there and I got screwed in it, with less custody time of my sons then should had. He last told me he would work on the bill, Divorce Paperwork Finalized, and the Custody Holiday Schedule, none of this got done, and have not been able to talk to him over a month now, and undeliverable e-mail, and tried calling him at least 10 times a day to see what is going on with me case. No answers to the calls to his cell or office, now his office phone has been shut off and always his office phone or cell phone is always full and can't leave a message on it for him.He has made my holidays so bad, with not filing for Holiday Custody times for my son, and she is always say it is her days, and so she is playing games because none of the document filed, except for the Child Support 3 months late after her lawyer finally did the filing of it, but not other documents filed. After the Freind of the Court today, they contacted the Courts of all this and set a Court date of December 8th 2014 at 1:15pm to do a review to see what the problems of it all is, after they couldn't get a hold of my Attorney. I would not say this attorney is worth anything doing a job for you. Keep your money and go somewhere else if you want something done right and good. This attorney needs to be debarred for all the pain and not doing his job he is paid for. I need my Custody Holiday Schedule especially, since my wife is playing games always and wanting to be controlling when she is a immgrant from Philippines that used me to get to the USA.

I hired matt in my divorce/custody case last year. At first he did good then it went down hill after a month or two. He said he would take care of everything and nothing has been done. I havent received my divorce papers and it has been a few months. Do not reccommend to anybody

I hired map for a custody issue he talked a good talk then once he had my money it was no more answering the phone five weeks later still no papers filed completely avoiding everything always late lying about court dates that don't exist I highly recommend you run as far away from this lawyer as possible terrible terrible experience. The worst part about the whole experience was Matt and I went to the same school just 4 years apart so he made it seem like a sense of trust already there. I highly recommend finding a different lawyer!!!!!
