The BEST Attorney Any Client Could Hope For

I was extremely satisfied with the representation I received from Randall Herriott. I was going through a very difficult child support/custody case and I hired Randy several months into my case after realizing my first attorney was not getting the job done. During my initial consultation, Randy ...was both professional and very knowledgeable about family law. My daughter’s father is self-employed and was not being honest about his income. Randy went above and beyond to obtain his true income and I was able to get sole physical custody and more money than I expected for child support for my daughter. I shall forever be grateful and I would definitely recommend Randall Herriott.

Ex Wife Drama

This was the second time I've dealt with the law firm I have nothing but great things to say about them. Randy was well prepared willing to help and was ready to take my case on with the ex wife drama.

Slam dunk

Randy took on my case with one day to prepare before the hearing. He hit the ground running and was up to speed on even small details necessary to make our case a slam dunk for the sitting judge. I was very impressed with how quickly he honed in on the important details in a long, complicated histo...ry with the opposing party. He was also a crack-shot at cross-examining a witness who has been described by professionals as a "master manipulator." Her tactics at misinformation and creating confusion were completely thwarted by Randy's pointed and relevant questions. He was also great at guiding me through my own testimony, keeping me on track to ensure the court was presented with a clear and honest assessment of the situation. I was so relieved to have him in my corner.

Beyond Top Notch !

Attorney Randall Herriott is without doubt the best representation you can obtain. From day one he was very in tune with every aspect of the case which took over a year to conclude because of previous counsel not taking the initiative to finish this case in a timely manner. This includes time away fr...om my child who I was fighting for and was losing hope until FINALLY being introduced to Mr. Herriott. He took over where everything had been in limbo and controlled the positive and very progressive reunification between my child and myself. I could not thank him enough for every single thing that he did for our family. He is extremely knowledgeable of the court system and will give you nothing but the very best representation available. You will not find a better lawyer than Mr. Herriott. PERIOD. If you have a pending matter that needs real expert representation than you need to hire Mr. Herriott without hesitation. I have described him as a Samurai with words and every aspect is clearly communicated including things I never knew that were always presented in my best interest. I can't say enough to fully express how good Mr. Herriott really is, all I can say is hire him and YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY! Mr. Herriott truly is the best.

Thorough, Exceptional and a Go Getter

I chose Randall Herriott at the law firm of Reinstein, Glackin & Herriott, LLC to represent me in my child custody modification case and I could not have been more satisfied with the level of professionalism and dedication that was shown. Randy was always there, accessible, and available for any que...stions or concerns. I'm deeply grateful to Randy and his law firm for their diligence and care. They gave my case their full attention.
