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.

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.

Highly Recommend

Mr. Herriott was able to make a very stressful situation manageable for me. When I believed that I was facing the loss of significant time with my child, Mr. Herriott never even considered that I would have anything less than 50% custody...and achieved it! Mr. Herriott worked tirelessly to do what ...was right and prevent local county lawyers from not following proper process and law. Mr. Herriott quickly demonstrated that he wanted to get the case resolved, rather than draw it out to make more income. When my particular case took an unfortunate turn into alleged domestic issues, Mr. Herriott displayed that he is just as competent in that area as he is with custody and separation matters.

Outstanding Advocate for My Family

I interviewed several attorneys before searching AVVO. I came upon Randy's profile and firm (RGH Law). Randy had me hooked from the beginning with his incredible professionalism, integrity, and his ability to handle the emotions I was experiencing. My divorce turned from amicable to contentious ...very quickly, and Randy was there every step of the way. Because of him, I have equal time with my three children, which is more than most father's experience. Custody was most important to me, but the future financial costs were also a concern. Randy expertly guided a settlement agreement at the 11th hour and it actually turned out favorably for both parties in my case. One thing Randy told me in our initial consultation was that numerous clients came to RGH after getting a raw deal in their divorce. It is better to have the right attorney by your side throughout the process, rather than someone who wants to settle for a bad deal. I would highly recommend Randall Herriott to any area he is available to practice. I am forever greatful for his zealous advocacy and integrity regarding my family. Again, highly recommend!

Very knowledgeable Expert in Family Law

When I realized that my marriage was ending and that I was going to need legal representation, I met with Randy Herriott. From our initial meeting through my final judgment of divorce I always felt well represented and comfortable in an otherwise unpleasant situation. Although family law can be emo...tional, in my opinion it is essential to approach the situation from a business perspective as it is a very complex legal matter. My divorce involved child custody, substantial marital assets, as well as other several factors that needed to be considered. I always felt that Randy and his staff were looking out for my best interest throughout the process. With any legal situation there are ups and downs along the way as well as periods of uncertainty. Fortunately Randy made the process as smooth as possible and was always available to answer any questions that came up. He is very responsive to phone calls and emails. It became very apparent to me how much he is respected among his peers in the field. This included other lawyers as well as therapists, mediators, court staff, etc. There are an abundance of factors to consider when dealing with a divorce. One of those factors is the cost of your legal team. Many family lawyers out there that will work for a lower hourly rate (my ex wife's lawyer was approximately 20% less expensive per hour), however I firmly believe you get what you pay for. I do not believe you will find another family lawyer in this area that provides you with better value for their service than Randy and his staff do. At the end of the process, I was 100% satisfied with the result. The agreement that was reached provided for my children's best interest 1st and foremost. It also protected my financial well being so that I am able to rebuild very quickly without an excessive financial burden to my ex wife of nearly 20 years. If you are dealing with a possible divorce and / or a custody situation, I would strongly recommend contacting Randy before you make a decision as to who your representation will be during the process.
