Raymond K. Bryant
L.L.M., J.D., M.Phil., B.A, A.A.
Raymond K. Bryant is a trial lawyer and litigator specializing in plaintiffs’ civil rights and police misconduct cases. Before coming to Denver, Raymond was a political campaign consultant, political activist, and teacher in various cities across the country. Raymond’s graduate work in political and educational philosophy, the legitimacy of government action, and civil and constitutional rights has helped hone his desire for justice; while recognizing that others may need further convincing through lawsuits. Thus, Raymond’s legal practice reflects his belief that the law should be used as a sword, not just a shield, for everyday people to fight for their rights – against those in power who abuse the public trust.
