This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Arrogant/Unreliable

After receiving a guarantee of a restoration he refused to be a lawyer and advocate for me in order to achieve his GUARANTEED goal. Additionally, I he violated attorney/client privilege which is not only morally terrible but, also, seriously hampered my case. A condescending, argumentative, contentio...us attorney. Stay away!

Ray, the reason we could not proceed in your case is that you could NOT provide us with the legally required letters of support. In our letter to you explaining this, and containing a refund check, we included this language from the Michigan Secretary of State: "The Administrative Law Examiner requires a minimum of three (3) clear statements in support of claims of continuous abstinence from alcohol and mind-altering drugs, including marijuana and cocaine, from people who are in a good position to know. Letters should be from people who have known a Petitioner for a substantial period of time, years rather than months, and who see a Petitioner at least one (1) time per week or more, rather than 1 time per month or less. Letters must clearly state how the writer knows the Petitioner, how often they actually see the Petitioner. Letters must clearly state when the last time they knew the Petitioner to have consumed any amount of alcohol, a sip of beer, a toast of wine, and the last time they knew the Petitioner to have used any type of mind-altering drug, including marijuana and cocaine. Letters must be specific. Vague letters do not lead to success in these hearings. If a writer has never known the Petitioner to have used any mind-altering drugs they should clearly state this in their letter. Letters that are all from coworkers, or all from members of the AA recovery community whose contacts with a Petitioner are limited to the work setting or the AA setting, are given much more limited weight and are more likely to result in the denial of an appeal." Unfortunately, none of the letters you provided for testimonial purposes met those requirements, and your inability to provide anything like that essentially precludes a win. Here are a few other excerpts from the letter we sent to you with along your refund check: "It was our hope that we could work together as a team and produce a win. However, you have not been able to provide viable testimonial letters from people in [state name], where you have resided since 2016, who see and know you and who otherwise have sufficient personal knowledge of your drinking, drugging and abstinence history." "It has been your position that you are unable to provide such witnesses from where you live. Without this kind of written testimony, we simply cannot produce a favorable outcome for you." Your inability to provide these letters, as required by law, was the SOLE cause for us being unable to proceed with your case. There was nothing even remotely close to any violation of attorney - client privilege. Instead, you became upset because the evaluator questioned why you changed and back-dated your previously stated sobriety date, and then suddenly claimed that you had NOT used several drugs that you previously indicated you had tried and/or used. We ALWAYS stand by our guarantee, but we will NEVER file a case that's so obviously unable to win, or based upon misinformation. That's why we refunded all unearned monies ($2900) to you.

Unprofessional

I wanted to hire this law firm but they wanted a third of the money down before me speaking to an attorney I'd be working with. They also refused to write out a contract, both Huge red flags!!! A trustworthy attorney will provide a written contract and let you talk to your actual attorney before taki...ng your money.

Our guarantee to win every case we file and our fee structure have been posted on our website for many, many years. I'm not aware of ANY other law office that posts its fees or how they're to be paid like we do. Fees and payments due are covered in the receipt we issue upon accepting a retainer, and showing the outstanding balance. Of course, we are legally BOUND by what we have up on our site. Whoever does the consultation and screening (legal assistant or attorney) determines if a person has the qualifications to win a license appeal or not. Once we have answered all of a person's questions, explained things, and determined that he or she meets the legal requirements for a winning license appeal, then the next step is to start working. And to be fair, we invite everyone to call around, compare lawyers, and to call us back as many times as they'd like. However, there does come a point where we've done enough consulting, screening, and answering all of a person's questions, and it becomes time to either begin working - or not.

Drivers License Restoration

I lost my license to 2 DUI's in 2005 and 2006. Since then I moved out of state and got my life together. I contacted Mr. Randa's office after looking through many lawyers online. The staff at the office were extremely helpful and extremely professional. Never once did I call or email and not get a re...sponse. Any concerns or nerves I experience were addressed and really the process was as easy as could be. After 2 failed attempts to get ny license on my own my lawyer was able to successfully win my case and all driving rights were restored. After an 18 year long battle I wishninwould have hired them sooner!

License Restoration

Jeffrey Randa is great. They prepped me for everything, but you have to also put the work in. No matter what get a sponsor. I lost the first time and they was there the second for free, because they guarantee “if they don’t get you cleared to first time, they definitely will the second. I got a clear...ance, I’m getting my license back.
