Rand will understand

I hired Rand back in December 2020... I was in the toughest position I’ve ever been in. It was a roller coaster ride. I hired Rand with all belief and high hopes. He took care of my case with care. He takes his time to evaluate the situation to get you the best results. Thank you Rand! But no thank y...ou is ever worth enough for what you did for me!

A really good guy and attorney

Rand was a life saver. Judge Johnson wanted to revoke my parole and issued a warrant for my arrest; even though 100% of the restitution I owed was paid. I was referred to Rand. He met with us on Sunday and by Tuesday Judge Johnson reversed his order. The cost of his service and time was nominal. ... I can't thank you enough for everything.

Saved My Life

I know where I would be without Rand Mintzer.......prison. I made an unintentional business mistake that I had no clue of the ramifications until there was a warrant out for my arrest for a felony charge. Rand took very dark days and made them clear again. I am back in my profession doing what I am m...ost passionate about. I am with my family whom I love, all because of the best attorney I have ever known. I am leaving this review because I hope it will help someone who is in the same amount of trouble find this very decent human being.

Someone you can absolute confidence in.

I could sense that Rand Mintzer was head and shoulders above the rest on our first phone conversation. I was facing a felony charge base on a false accusation related to an auto-pedestrian accident that never occurred. I had never been charged with anything more than driving over the speed limit befo...re this. On that first call he took the time to explain exactly what I was facing, how it would work, and what the chances were of a successful outcome. He spoke with authority and didn’t play any games. He always picks up the phone when I call and always has his door open. His rates and payment terms are very fair. Best of all, he was able to get the case dismissed by the Grand Jury and the charges were dropped. I can’t recommend Rand Mintzer highly enough!

Rand A. Mintzer

From the first call Rand and his team was very professional, extremely knowledgeable and very supportive. Rand and his team helped me with every step of the process. The care and attention that Rand provided is second to none. If I didn't understand something, or if I was anxious about something, I w...ould call him and he would help explain things. Rand always did his best to help keep me worry free.

"I first met Rand Mintzer years ago when I first began working as a prosecutor with the Harris County District Attorney's Office. He was a great defense attorney then and he still is today. He knows the law, knows how to negotiate with prosecutors (and when to take a case to trial), and genuinely cares about his clients. Anyone who hires Rand for their criminal case will be well served."

"I endorse Rand. He is a very talented, hard working defense lawyer who fights the government at trial and forces them to do their job. Any client would be lucky to have him as their defense attorney. I also know Rand as a fellow long distance runner. He has the stamina to compete in 50K and 50 mile ultra-marathons as well as to fight in rather pedestrian two or three day jury trials."
