10/10

Hiring Randy Etheridge to represent me was the best decision I ever made. He is a professional and in my opinion, the most talented defense attorney in Northwest Florida. He takes every case seriously, no matter the charge. He returns every call and always answers every question. His attention to... detail is impeccable. He doesn't miss a thing when he takes a case and the hours and hard work he puts into a case is proof of his dedication to his client and his practice. Randy treats every client with respect, empathy and honesty. I was also very impressed with his staff. Amanda was very professional. There was not a single email or phone call that was not returned promptly and if she did not have an answer for me, I received a phone call from Randy the same day. Having worked in the criminal defense field, I would recommend Randall Etheridge for any criminal case. My outcome was great. He is excellent in the courtroom. I highly recommend him.

Randy is the only criminal lawyer I’d ever recommend!

I don’t write many reviews, but when I do, I have reason to. I’ll first start by saying I’ve never met a lawyer so honestly forthcoming with information. I first retained him to represent my boyfriend back in 2005. He did as he said he would. The 2nd time, was for a relative. He would not take my mo...ney or let me retain him. He was straight forward and told me an attorney was unnecessary. I was a bit nervous, but he was 100% accurate. The 3rd time, was for myself. He had the bogus charges dropped, as promised. The last time I hired him was for a friend just a few months ago. Once again, he did as promised. Randy is an amazing criminal attorney. Those of you that gave him 1 star, shame on you! I’m sure there’s more to the story. He is the only attorney I’ll ever hire, though I’m hoping I won’t need his remarkable services a 5th time. Randy, Amanda, and everyone else in his practice, thank you for all that you do! You are incredible and it does not go unnoticed!

Fleeing and Eluding Case

Mr Randy is one of the best defense lawyers in the world if you ask me , everything was against me . They amended my charges to give me more points and try to send me to state prision. The state also had my recording thrown out saying it was hearsay , the state kicked out my legal medical records say...ing it could not be authenticated . Mr Randy looked over at me in the middle of trial and said do you see how hard my job is ? There were three state attorneys and the judge against me but I had Mr Randy . I thought I was going to prision but with his wisdom, wit and experience , Mr Randy secured me a not guilty verdict . I had my family ,business and freedom to lose . I love Mr Randy like he’s apart of my family his opening speech ,cross examining and closing argument is unmatched . I would recommend anybody whose facing criminal charges to hire Mr Randy - money well spent

accused of: Sexual harassment/cyber bullying/internet crimes

Randy was always professional, polite, and most importantly down to earth, always reassuring me of the outcome. My charge got dropped by the state, and my accuser decided it was best she didn’t show up for trial. This was a charge that could have really ruined my life. I work around children, and was... accused of a sex crime. 8 months ago: When my ex-husband saw a chance to put me in jail, in hopes of winning our house in the divorce, he took it, with the help of his future wife. I really wish Mr. Etheridge could be my divorce lawyer too. I wont use anyone else for criminal court, no matter how big or small the case. His paralegal was awesome as well. She answered the questions that she knew she could, and if she couldn't.. she always let Randy know to call me. I’ve never met a lawyer that makes a real effort to call you back before his work day is over. Everytime I left a message, my call was returned before 5pm. You may think thats a minor thing to be appreciative of, but its my favorite thing about this Lawyer. He shows that he really cares for his clients, most attorneys care about you just enough to get retained.. you'll hire Randy if you want a Lawyer that cares about your case like you do.

You want Randy Etheridge fighting for you!!

I placed my son's future in Randy Etheridge's hands and he did not disappoint us. My son was facing multiple mandatory minimum felony charges. We met with several well known attorneys before sitting down with Mr. Etheridge. His knowledge and fighting spirit made it clear that he was the one we wan...ted on our side, representing us. He and his amazing staff kept us apprised of everything that was happening even through COVID. He was able to bring about a resolution of this matter that we had prayed for, but really thought was not possible. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Randy Etheridge. I wholeheartedly recommend him! If you find yourself or a loved one in a predicament where you cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel, then you need Randy Etheridge.
