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.

Trustworthy, Knowledgable Attorney

I worked with Randall on student loan debt that defaulted several years ago without my knowledge. I was referred to him by a trusted source and was not disappointed. Dealing with collections agencies on unpaid debts is a very scary and emotional process. Randall helped me to understand my rights an...d gave me the knowledge that allowed me to be unafraid of speaking with those who were calling about my "debt". He was helpful, nonjudgmental and always responded quickly and thoroughly. He was able to file two cases on my behalf. I strongly recommend him to anyone who needs consultation or legal representation against debt collectors.

The Superman of Consumer Rights

I was having an issue with collections company concerning the FDCPA and they didn't want to work with me. I called on Randall to help. I met a man who truly stands for consumer rights. A man that, I believe, to be in this to attempt to change, and if not, at least hold accountable those that take ...advantage of consumers. He listened to the challenges, took the case, and went after the company. While they tried to dodge; they tried to maneuver, Randall was always ready for the next step. In the end, we came to a resolution that all was satisfied with. I hope to never need Randall's service again, but if I ever have the need for a consumer's rights attorney, I know where my first call will be.

Best call I ever made!

I was targeted by a large financial company that I had never heard of. They claimed I had open an account with them over 8 years ago and owed over $17,000.00 in debt to them. I was so intimidated by the representative of the firm for the company. She had me thinking maybe some how I had done this ...and I had no way to prove I didn't so I would have to pay. However after asking for proof that I had done this, she would not provide any but still a judgment was brought against me. I am a disable person on a very limited income and they took money from me they should not have. After taking to another lawyer who is a family friend he referred me to Mr. Ryder. I spoke to him and was immediately comforted by his complete knowledge and professionalism. I had my money back in just a few days and with in a few weeks the entire matter was dropped and I never have to worry about them coming back after me again. I can not put into words how much Mr. Ryder did to protect me the "little guy". I cant imagine what would have happened to me if I hadn't found someone so dedicated to caring for everyone not just the big companies with all the money but the people the prey on. Thank Randall I will always recommend you to anyone needing advice on consumer issues.

Honest, Straight-Forward Consumer Attorney

Mr. Ryder is a great attorney. He not only gets things done, and takes care of his clients, he is personable and friendly. He is very down-to-earth, and straight-forward. Those are attributes not normally associated with good attorneys, but Mr. Ryder exemplifies them. I would recommend Randall Ryde...r to anyone in need of a good consumer law attorney.

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."
