Trustworthy and extremely knowledgeable

Randall has been my legal console since 2005. He has been a consistent and reliable source for any and all questions pertaining to law, especially recently during the settling of my Mother's estate. His calm nature and impressive knowledge of the law has helped so much in this troubling time. He ...has always been able to make time for me when needed.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
