Accessibility Counts!

Mr. Pelham makes me feel like I can tell him everything about the situation my wrongful injury has put me in. He responds quickly to emails and calls.

Best Personal Injury Lawyer in Tallahassee

We came to Randy in 2016. He was very gracious and very concerned for all we had been through. He always kept in touch through email or phone calls (if it was urgent enough) to let us know what was going on with our case and what he needed from us. We knew up front that the other side would drag i...t out as long as possible. It took nearly 3 years, but Randy saw it through and we came to a good settlement so that we wouldn't have to relive the entire ordeal in court. He explained both best and worst case scenario so that we would know what we were up against if we went to court. I would highly recommend Randy Pelham for any personal injury case. He will get the job done.

Below Average

Randy was very attentive during our initial consultation. He did provide a list of Doctors that would help treat my injuries. After our initial visit, I was informed by his staff ( who stated she was taking pain medicines) that the attorney does not contact me again until there is a settlement offer....The staff was very unprofessional.

Replied last June 12, 2015

Here are the procedures in my office, which I explain to every client. When the file is opened, letters are sent out to the at fault party, insurance companies, hospitals, witnesses, etc. I send my clients a copy of every letter that goes out so they know what is going on. I also explain to each client that once these initial letters go out, I do not contact them again unless an evidentiary issue comes up. Therefore, I wait for my client to finish treatment and inform the client to contact me when his/her treatment is finished so we can start the settlement process. All clients are informed during this "silent" period, they are free to call me and schedule a phone or office conference, or send me an email if they have any questions. If any client feels that my staff has not been professional or courteous, I encourage their feedback so I can address their concern.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Randy was opposing counsel on a couple of cases and I enjoyed practicing against him. He is very professional, knows his case and his client well, and is always well prepared. He is deeply involved in each of the cases he handles, and has personal knowledge of the details of the case (that was my experience on the cases I handled). Furthermore, he is not afraid to take on more difficult cases and makes good arguments for his clients in those cases."

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
