Raymond James is a Birmingham, Alabama attorney who was born and raised in Tallahassee, Florida and now proudly calls Birmingham home. Raymond earned his B.S. in Biology from the University of South Florida and his J.D. from Stetson University College of Law, where he developed a deep commitment to community service that continues to define his practice today.

During law school, Raymond served two years as Chair of Stetson Law's Pro-Bono Committee and spent three years as a Guardian Ad Litem serving and mentoring children in St. Petersburg, Florida. Those experiences shaped the kind of attorney he set out to become: one who is genuinely invested in the people and communities he serves.

Early in his career, Raymond built a strong foundation in intellectual property law, an area of expertise that benefits clients across many of Fortif Law Partners' practice areas. Today he works with businesses and community developers across Alabama to help them grow, protect what they have built, and make a lasting impact. He brings an eagerness to learn and a real passion for his work to every client engagement, and it shows in the outcomes he delivers.
