I practice exclusively in the area of personal injury law. I represent individuals and families who are injured as a result of someone else’s negligence. I take each case personally and fight insurance companies that only want to take advantage of you and your loved ones when you are most vulnerable. I take time to listen to your problems and will give you advice you can count on.. Before moving to Arizona in 2002, I lived in New Orleans, Louisiana, where I practiced law primarily in the areas of insurance and medical malpractice defense. During my time defending claims, my eyes were opened to a simple truth: Insurance companies don’t care about people. They only care about increasing their profits. They will take advantage of anyone—even their own insureds—whenever they can get away with it.. In 2002, I moved to Arizona and began representing regular people like you against the same kinds of insurance companies I had defended in the past. My prior experiences gave a unique perspective that benefits my clients in fighting on their behalf.. On a more personal note, my given name is Ramon Jose Quintana Torralba. Many of my friends also call me Ray. I have a diverse ethnic background: I am Cuban and Filipino. My mother is from Cuba and her father was from the Spanish Islas Canarias (Canary Islands). My father is from the Philippines.. I look forward to hearing from you and representing your best interests.  Call me anytime at or contact me through the Quintana Law Firm website at

You’ve been a coward in the fight.. My sixth grade teacher Mr. Hawks had us memorize poems. I chose this one, and I'm glad it's embedded in my mind. I've had to draw on it many times. I am constantly on the front lines, trying to make things right. I will undoubtedly draw some fire. I don't do it intentionally -- it's just part of the job.
