Credit card collections

I was served papers a few months ago on an old credif card that went to collections. I found Randall online in a quick search online and sent a request for a quote. He got back to me immediately. He handled everything quickly and made sure I understood everything surrounding the case. The experie...nce was 100% stress free knowing I had him in my corner. He even worked during his vacation! I am extremely pleased with the outcome and quick responses. I hope to never have to hire Randall again, but would not hesitate to if needed. I will be recommending him to anyone that needs a consumer debt lawyer.

Defaulted Student Loan

The day my doorbell rang and I was being served papers stating I was being sued by a law firm representing and old school loan I had forgotten. I thought there was no way this was going to end good, I was a nervous wreck! Being recommended to Randall was the best recommendation! From the day I met hi...m he was very understanding not judgmental on the situation, he was very personable and friendly and even though I had no idea how this would turn out he put me at ease. This at times was a very emotional scary process, but every time I felt this way he went out of his way to call me and make me feel at ease. He took every step possible to make sure everything about my case was legit as in our day in age there are alot of scams out there. He helped me understand my rights, my options and ultimately in the end he helped me receive the best deal I could have gotten. We settled this before it went any further than being served those papers, no court and no judgement. He is very honest and very responsive, he was on vacation and still went out of his way to take care of my case in a timely manner. I would highly recommend him he is amazing in every way! And hopefully I never have to go through this again, but if I did he would be my number 1 pick.

Car Loan Issue

I would like to say Mr Randall Ryder was extremely helpful for me through a judgement I encountered through a car loan I had with an ex girlfriend. Me being so new to the process he made me comfortable and helped put some of my worries at ease through the process. He always answered my emails or phon...e call when I had questions and helped me get my finances back on track by alleviating the headache of a judgement. He found loopholes in the judgment that put resolution in my favor so I was very happy with the outcome. I would recommend him for civil\debt issues your encountering because he's a well experince versatile attorney I enjoyed working with.

Optimal Scenario

I was sued two years ago by a well known predatory debt collector. I contacted and hired Randall to represent me. I feel he provided me the best possible resolution to my matter, and I couldn't have been more satisfied. Additionally, Randall has been receptive and responsive to any questions or co...ncerns that I have had since that time. I would highly recommend him. I believe he was the best representative I could have had to help me resolve my legal issue.

Trustworthy Consimer Rights Attorney

I was more than terrified when I was contacted by a debt collection agency over a debt that I thought had been long resolved. Randall contacted me through a questioniare I filled out. I could not have been more fortunate to have met Randall. He put me at complete ease, I had the upmost confidence in ...his abilities. He took the time to explain the debt collection and court processes. Randall always responded very promptly to emails and phone calls. He also took time to get to know me and asked questions about my family, which made me feel he truly cares. That's rare in today's society. Randall was able to achieve a good outcome for my case before we ever had to step foot in a court room. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a consumer rights attorney, he truly stands tall for consumer rights.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Randall Ryder may seem like a nice guy, but debt collectors quake in their boots when he shows up. Randall is a tough-as-nails lawyer who sues debt collectors for harassing people under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. When I have a question about the FDCPA, I turn to Randall. He's also a good guy to have a beer with."
