Not professional unprepared

I hired this lawyer in my custody case, he didn’t show my evidences, don’t give any recommendations for my trial day, difficult to reaching. I lost my case

There is no "winning" or "losing" in a custody case. The court makes its decision based on the best interests of the children. I am not going to be more specific than necessary, but your actions in removing your children to another county without the court's permission was considered to be a factor which we couldn't mitigate. All the other "evidence" you wanted me to show - which I didn't - was irrelevant and harassing. With all that said, under any form of analysis, you didn't "lose" your case at all.

Excellent Lawyer

Mr. Sousa's website says he is aggressive and affordable and that is exactly what he is. But he is also very friendly and helpful. He was able to assist me after I was injured in a car accident. The matter was settled very quickly and Randy got me a lot more than I expected to get. I have never met a... lawyer I trusted or liked until I met Randy. If I ever have a legal problem, he is the first person I'll call and I tell everyone else I know with a legal problem to do the same. He is nothing short of amazing.

Helpful, Considerate, Kind

I had an issue that had been eating away at me, and Randal was able to advise me on my situation in a way that was well explained, helpful and helped ease my worries. If this guy is even half as helpful outside a just a consult, you've got the right guy in your corner.

Helped Clear My Son in an Investigation Concerning an After School Fight

I obtained Mr. Sousa's help when my 15 year old son and his friends were accused of beating up another student. He was suspended from school until the police investigated what happened. When the police showed up at our house to question him I called Randy and we met with Randy the next day. After Ra...ndy spoke to the police and my son's school principal I was told my son was no longer under investigation. Randy was kind and very funny and even though I had been worried, he made me feel like everything would work out and that this was no big deal. He was right.
