Raymond A. Harris has a notable history of helping the elderly and individuals with disabilities. He volunteered at the Elder Law of Michigan clinic during law school where he assisted with the Michigan Pension Rights Project. He was also a student attorney at the Sixty Plus clinic where he represented low-income seniors in various matters. He graduated cum laude from the Thomas M. Cooley Law School in May of 2007 and was admitted to practice law in Michigan in December of 2007.

After law school, Raymond worked as an associate attorney for Patricia E. Kefalas Dudek, a noted advocate for the elderly and disabled, in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.
