POWER OF ATTORNEY
OF
JEFFREY P. JULIEN


    Know all by these presents, that the undersigned hereby constitutes and 
appoints each of Paul L. Matecki and Kenneth E. Armstrong, signing singly, the 
undersigned's true and lawful attorney-in-fact to:

1) Prepare, execute in the undersigned's name and on the undersigned's behalf, 
and submit to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") a Form ID,
  including amendments thereto, and any other documents necessary or appropriate
  to obtain codes and passwords enabling the undersigned to make electronic 
filings with the SEC of reports required by Section 16(a) of the Securities 
Exchange Act of 1934 or any rule or regulation of the SEC; 

2) Execute for and on behalf of the undersigned, in the undersigned's capacity 
as an officer and/or director of Raymond James Financial, Inc. (the "Company"), 
Forms 3, 4, and 5 in accordance with Section 16 (a) of the Securities Exchange 
Act of 1934 and the rules thereunder, and any other forms or reports the 
undersigned may be required to file in connection with the undersigned's 
ownership, acquisition or disposition of securities of the Company;

3) Do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the undersigned which 
may be necessary or desirable to complete and execute any such Form 3, 4, and 5,
  or other form or report, and timely file such form or report with the SEC and 
the New York Stock Exchange or similar authority; and

4) Take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with the foregoing
  which, in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact, may be of benefit to, in the 
best interest of, or legally required by, the undersigned, it being understood 
that the documents executed by such attorney-in-fact on behalf of the 
undersigned pursuant to this Power of Attorney shall be in such form and shall 
contain such terms and conditions as such attorney-in-fact may approve in such 
attorney-in-fact's discretion.

    The undersigned hereby grants to each such attorney-in-fact full power and 
authority to do and perform any and every act and thing whatsoever requisite, 
necessary, or proper to be done in the exercise of any of the rights and powers 
herein granted, as fully to all intents and purposes as the undersigned might or
  could do if personally present, with full power of substitution or revocation,
  hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney-in-fact, or such 
attorney-in-fact's substitute or substitutes, shall lawfully do or cause to be 
done by virtue of this power of attorney and the rights and powers herein 
granted.  

    The undersigned acknowledges that the foregoing attorneys-in-fact, in 
serving in such capacity at the request of the undersigned, are not assuming, 
nor is the Company assuming, any of the undersigned's responsibilities to comply
  with Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and 
regulations thereunder (the "Law").  The undersigned further acknowledges that 
it is his/her responsibility to provide information to the attorneys-in-fact on 
a timely basis with respect to any proposed transaction that could require the 
filing of any Form 4 or 5, and to respond in a timely manner to all 
communications, notices and inquiries from the attorneys-in-fact or the Company 
or its representatives with respect to any proposed transaction.  The 
undersigned further acknowledges that failure to provide information on a timely
  basis or to respond in a timely manner to such notices, communications and 
inquiries could result in the failure to make timely filing of these documents 
as required by the Law, which could result in violations of the Law by the 
undersigned, as well as public disclosure of delinquent filings by the 
undersigned.  The undersigned further acknowledges that the responsibility for 
timely filing continues to be that of the undersigned and, in that regard, 
releases the attorneys-in-fact and the Company from any liability with respect 
to any action taken or omitted in good faith by them in connection with such 
filings.

    This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until the 
undersigned is no longer required to file Forms 3, 4, and 5 with respect to the 
undersigned's holdings of and transactions in securities issued by the Company, 
unless earlier revoked by the undersigned in a signed writing delivered to the 
foregoing attorneys-in-fact.

    IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Power of Attorney to be 
executed this 12th day of March, 2009.
