About Dale C. Ray
Dale C. Ray Jr. has practiced law since the early 1980s, building a steady, long-term legal career grounded in classroom training and courtroom experience. He earned his Juris Doctor from The University of Georgia School of Law in 1982 after completing undergraduate studies at Georgia State University in 1979. That combination of state and local schooling set the stage for a career tied closely to Georgia’s legal community.
After law school, Ray entered practice at a time when the legal landscape was changing rapidly. He became a member of the Georgia State Bar in 1982 and has maintained that membership through decades of practice. Early years in practice are not detailed here, but his continued bar membership and long timeline suggest steady engagement with litigation and court procedures.
Ray’s admitted jurisdiction includes the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. That admission indicates work that reaches beyond trial courts and into appellate matters at the federal level. Practicing in the Eleventh Circuit requires familiarity with federal appellate rules and an ability to present legal arguments in writing and oral argument. It places him among attorneys who handle appeals affecting multiple states within the circuit.
Over the years Ray has maintained an office at One Midtown Plaza. That office location has been the base for his client work and court preparations. The location has also served as a point of contact for colleagues and for matters that proceed in Georgia courts or federal venues. He has navigated both state and federal processes and has kept his practice aligned with the procedural demands of those forums.
Colleagues and clients who have worked with Ray would point to the longevity of his practice as a measure of his professional continuity. He trained in Georgia schools, gained admission to the state bar in 1982, and extended his practice to the Eleventh Circuit. Those steps outline a career that spans more than four decades.
Today Ray continues to practice from his One Midtown Plaza office. His work includes appellate practice in the Eleventh Circuit and representation of clients in Georgia state courts, reflecting a practice that spans both federal and state litigation.
