Randy and Bruce were both excellent. They knew exactly what to do and gave us advice that was better for my well being than their billable hours. Highly recommend.
Having been Assistant Prosecutor for Oakland County, Randy Esquire knew the subject matter inside and out from the law enforcement side, thus making him an excellent proponent for a logical and common sense defense strategy. He imparted this strategy on the process, but most of all persuaded me, given an overly aggressive judge who accounted for my offense only from a strong arm perspective. With empathy, given my situation, Randy Esquire proceeded to secure the best outcome given the circumstances. He knew the judge hands down, what she would think, what she would say, probable and least probable outcomes. He not only prepared his case, he prepared me, which may have been the biggest challenge.
I spent nearly 18 years as a prosecutor in Oakland County. My passion, performance and integrity in more than 100 felony jury trials resulted in my promotion to the positions of Special Prosecutor, Training Coordinator and Executive Staff Attorney. Now in private practice, each client can be assured that they will receive full benefit of my extensive trial advocacy skills and wide ranging experience in handling Felony, Misdemeanor and driving related matters.
The ending of a relationship will result in unyielding stress and anxiety. At the Flood firm, we understand the dynamics of divorce and we commit to using compassion, understanding and integrity in our representation for clients as they transition to the next stage of their lives. It may be the client's case, but it becomes our cause.
Auto accidents, slip and falls, dog bite cases and other scenarios where personal injury resulted from the negligence of another. Flood law firm provides trial tested litigators that will work diligently to maximize the recovery on your behalf.
YOUR CASE, MY CAUSE...I'LL BE WITH YOU AND HELP GUIDE YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY!
As a lawyer, I am proud to have dedicated my career to the passionate pursuit of justice. Regardless of whether a case is criminal or civil in nature, my objective is, and always will be, to provide the most effective and ethical representation for my crime victim or client within the law.
It makes me proud to know that some of my biggest supporters are former legal adversaries.Â

Excellent, straight-talking attorney who provides in-depth personalized help
One of the first things Randy told me about himself was, "I tell it like it is instead of sugarcoating things, otherwise I wouldn't be doing my job right." That is exactly the sort of attitude I wanted in an attorney and I'm so glad that I hired him. He was candid about the facts and plausible outcomes of my case, and he charged headlong into finding solutions that were fair and that would not unduly harm me in my professional or personal spheres. His close connections and knowledge of the court system were a tremendous asset, as he succeeded in helping me make a positive impression on my judge more in line with my true character, reduce my original charge, and get a lenient sentence. Randy knows the unspoken norms and expectations of the court system, which most lay persons do not, and he makes sure that his clients are made aware of these so that they do not make mistakes in the court room; these things might seem to be minor, such as wearing a suit to your court appearances (even if it's on zoom) to showing up 15 minutes early (even if you have to wait for the judge after that) so the court clerk knows you are there, but they are all important. Finally, Randy is tremendously compassionate and caring, although he might first come across as brusque at first because of his no-nonsense and candid manner; he genuinely cares for the well-being of his clients and will do his utmost to help them. I would encourage you to trust him and be 100% honest about the facts of the case, although that may be difficult for you, because unless he knows everything he can't help you in the most effective manner.

Saved my Life - An Attorney who truly cares about his Clients
I hired Randy to represent me in one of the toughest courts in Michigan (Oakland County 48th District) Judges in this court routinely sentence first time drunk driving offenders to jail time. It doesn't matter who you are once the long arm of the law is involved. I was scared for my life and my freedom. Everything I had worked for up until this point was uncertain. Randy was recommended to me by a family friend who worked in the Oakland County court system for many years. He has a reputation as a straight shooter who gets results. Randy is a former Oakland County prosecutor with 18+ years of experience. He provided sound legal advice and empathetic counseling during this difficult time in my life. He was always there to answer any questions and took as much time as I needed to feel comfortable with the explanation. Anytime I felt uncertain, scared, or negative, Randy was there to calmly guide me through the process. Though his aggressive legal representation and open communication with the Prosecutor, he was able to tell my side of the story and explain my poor decisions and behavior that fateful night. The results exceeded my expectations. I was charged with a Felony, and Misdemeanor OWI. My Felony charge was reduced to a Misdemeanor, my OWI was reduced to Impaired Driving. I avoided jail time and was sentenced to community service and 12 months of Probation. I am very happy with the resolution of my case. I highly recommend Randy for any Criminal matters in Oakland County. Randy saved my life and he truly cares about his Clients.

Excellent Representation
My attorney did an excellent job representing me. He was able to get felonies dismissed, and helped me avoid any incarceration. He treated me as a person, and not just a defendant. He took the time to get to know me, and my background. He also took the time to follow-up with me after sentencing was imposed.

Best of the Best!
I was referred to Randy to help my son request an exception from probation so he could travel with his new wife for medical treatment for her cancer diagnosis. I was an emotional wreck from the diagnosis and could hardly make sense in my own head of what I needed when I first called Randy. He responded immediately and brought calm to my mind with his sense of reason and course of action. Throughout our entire case, he was always professional, personal and quick to reply. He set clear expectations and was concise with his requests. He was patient when he needed info from us knowing we had a lot going on. His follow up to see every detail through to the end and his persistence when the other parties didn't respond like they should have was so appreciated. The results Randy accomplished were so much faster and significant than we ever expected. We were so glad to have him on our team!

Retired Sales Coordinator (Automotive Supplier)
Mr. Secontine was appointed by the court to act in my son's interest when he was jailed in September 2019. He was released in December 2019. He took the time to meet with him in person twice at the jail, and consulted with me numerous times on the phone. He also spoke for him during my son's appearances in court, and convinced the judge to release him on his own recognizance on December 6. Please note, he was hired by the court, not by me personally, but I would definitely consider hiring him myself, should the need arise.

Best Lawyer in Michigan by Far.
Randall Secontine is the best lawyer you could have. He truly puts in the time and effort to give his clients the best defense possible. He was never impatient with payments I owed him and earned every penny I paid him. He is very passionate about his clients cases and fights as if he were in your situation. He does not sugar coat. He is very honest and straight up with his clients. He does not promise anything he cannot deliver. I was against very harsh odds; however, Randall gave me the best representation possible that led to a VERY positive verdict. If you are looking for an Excellent lawyer, he is your man.
