E.H. Rayson is a trial lawyer with broad and in-depth experience in his practice areas of Employment and Labor and Litigation. He joined the firm, formerly known as Kramer, McNabb and Greenwood, in 1949. Mr. Rayson has handled numerous cases involving employment, labor, and environmental matters. He has also served as an arbitrator in a substantial number of labor disputes. Throughout his legal career, he has represented major employers, employees, and a major labor union. A substantial majority of the matters in which he has been involved have either been won outright or have ended in a favorable resolution to his clients. He has tried cases in both federal and state courts. His focus in each of his practice areas has been the same: a knowledge and understanding of the facts, how the facts can be proved, the applicable law, the time needed for preparation, the potential for resolution, and, ultimately, the proceedings in court.
