Raymond Kelsey

After graduating from Loyola University Chicago Law School in 2013, Ray moved back home to begin his legal career in the winery studded Finger Lakes Region of Central New York. While working at Midey, Mirras & Ricci, Ray learned the skills necessary to become a successful litigator, representing clients in the areas of personal injury, catastrophic injuries, and criminal law. A notable early success was Ray’s assistance in authoring the Motion to Suppress for The People of the State of New York v. Westcott, a controversial 4th Amendment Search & Seizure case.

In 2016, Ray returned to Chicago, where his wife, Sylvia, is a reading specialist in the Barrington School District. Happy to call the Northwest suburbs home, the focus of Ray’s practice now is helping people who have been injured due to third party negligence. He currently leads Barrington Injury Attorneys, the personal injury division of Lucas Law, where he handles auto accident, slip and fall and dog bite cases for clients in Cook, Lake, McHenry, Kane, and DuPage Counties.

When he is not working, Ray enjoys spending time with Sylvia and their rescue cat, Mickey, reading, and scrolling through Netflix until finally giving up. He thankfully did not give up this year on his beloved Atlanta Braves and Los Angeles Rams.
