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.

“Truley God Sent”

I watched my son literally suffer for almost three years on a case that at the time was over five years old. Loosing job after job, home after home, because of an open case pending conviction he lost so much faith due to Florida laws put in place for victims of sexual battery for true criminals. Th...en we ran into a person in our lives who made a difference..who saw his innocence like we did when no one else would fight for him. Randy answered our call in aiding our son to prove he was falsely accused. It was an extremely long road and when we thought he had stopped trying he had just approached things from a different angle making sure he won. Motions were filed and he helped my son be as comfortable as possible while reporting to PTR over every week for almost three years. Every phone call and email from us as parents he was quick to answer calming us making sure we knew he had our sons interest at heart. He fought and fought hard against all objections for two days of trail and at every turn he came back stronger. There was no truth behind the accusations and because of Randy the jury saw it and the verdict of “Not Guilty” brought a huge peace to my family to my son who can finally move forward in his life. I Thank God for using Randy to defend my sons right to a fair trial.

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 can trust him to get the job done!

I just recently have had minor legal trouble, so several people I know suggested I called Randy. When I went for my consult he immediately took steps to help me with my case. I've never in my 29 years of living thought I'd have to hire an attorney but I assure you if I ever need an attorney again in ...the future, it'd be Randy. He will get the job done, fight for you, and make you feel more at ease. He's one of the top 10 for a reason. Thank you!!
