I have known Randy for over twenty-five years. We have been co-counsel on numerous matters throughout my career. I have been impressed with his ability to quickly assess the issues in a given matter and to methodically pinpoint how to best address them. When I decided to start my own firm, Randy was the obvious choice for a law partner. His sincere concern for his clients is evident and admirable. The practice of law is not a business for him; it is motivated by his desire to help others.
