Raymond L. Niblock

Trial Attorney. Mediator. Storyteller.

​

Rooted in Arkansas, my journey has taken me from Colorado summers climbing the Front Range to military school at fifteen in New Mexico and service as a U.S. Army Reserve officer during Desert Storm. This ultimately led me to study law and practice in the firm my father established in 1961.

Since 1994, I've dedicated myself to advocating for clients in the courtroom, but I've come to embrace mediation as a superior method for resolving most disputes. Trained in the late 1990s, I've guided hundreds of clients through mediation and have selectively practiced as a mediator for the past fifteen years. Now, I'm expanding this facet of my professional life, offering civil mediation services to bring parties together and resolve disputes.

​

My passion for storytelling took off with the debut novel I published in 2023 under the imprint, Bishop's Trust, called The Last Independence Day: Secession, a political thriller exploring a fractured America on the brink of collapse. The narrative unapologetically delves into themes of political extremism, civil rights, and the resilience of the human spirit. Before then, I took a life-changing trip to Iceland with my husband, where a story began to simmer. Inspired by the island's stark beauty and rich folklore, I finally wrote my first work of literary fantasy and completed the manuscript this year (2025): Huldufólk: A Modern Icelandic Folktale. A true labor of love, Huldufólk weaves Icelandic myths with contemporary themes of identity, transformation, and the challenges of survival. I'm now on the hunt for a literary agent to represent me.​
