This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Personal and Focused

Handled my complicated legal questions in careful and thoughtful approach. Said he would research and get back soon. Answered my options without a fee! Will likely engage his service after holidays.

Mr. Randall expertly navigated obtaining my dual citizenship with Germany. Local St. Louis consulate said it couldn’t be done. He did it!!

Mr

Randall\'s counselling and review of details, while representing me were excellent and beyond what I had expected. I plan to use his services again, if ever I need a counselor in law. I also appreciated his general attitude to me as a client and person.

Happy Customer

I have known Randall for over 30 years. He has helped me through two divorces and various personal matters. He has always risen to whatever occasion has been needed. He's not just my attorney; I consider him a friend.

Excellent lawyer

Mr. Johnston was professional and caring. He explained each step of the process to us so we could understand what was happening and make informed decisions along the way. He was open and fair about costs; and, helped us assess potential costs as we worked through our concerns. I liked working with hi...m very much!

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.
