Posted by Andrew | July 12, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

One of the greatest if not the greatest in HOUSTON

I hired Mr. Rand for a criminal felony charge, after 3 weeks of hire he got my case dismissed and i didnt even have to go to court. He goes above and beyond to get the info he needs to get your case dismissed. Always had an answer to my questions and never missed my phone call. Very affordable and hu...morous. Highly suggest mr rand in your defense needs!

Rand A. Mintzer

Rand got my son's criminal case dismissed in less than two weeks. Every other attorney I called wanted to charge me at least double to represent my son. Rand is honest, a hard worker, very professional and compassionate about his work and clients. Rand did a better job than other attorneys I hired... in the past for my son. I truly believe that Rand will do an excellent job for you.

How forunate I was to be refered to Rand

I had a situation with possession of a firearm in a redistricted area and charged. I was referred to Rand by a close friend who is also an attorney. I was pretty shaken up by the event. Our first meeting Rand explained in great detail the process and set expectations for my case. He took every call a...nswered every email and each step and meeting he clearly laid what we could expect. His pre-work and understanding of our legal and court system was very assuring. After several resets he had my case dismissed.

Great lawyer, case dismissed, misdemeanor

Anyone seeking an attorney Rand Mintzer is the man for the job. He is very professional with great work ethics, through out the process of it all he was prompt and always straight to the point. He worked my case and pushed for a dismissal in my defense, he delivered on everything he said he would do ...and my case was dismissed! I am great full for the outcome and I’m glad I can move on from my mistake, thank you for your time and for great service!

CASE DISMISSED!!! ALL SKILL AND EXPERIENCE!!!

Rand was amazing from day one. My husband was picked up on drug possession and paraphernalia and he has a previous record, so of course we were extremely concerned. As one of the top lawyers in Houston we were expecting to pay top dollar for Rand's services, but thankfully he was very fair in price. ...We called him on a SUNDAY and he was the only attorney we called that day that actually answered the phone...AND...asked us to come in for a consult that same day! We went to his large beautiful office in the Heights where everyone was gone for the weekend except for Rand who was working hard for his clients. He was extremely personable, and non-judgemental. He took his time with us, listened to our situation, and carefully reviewed the information we had. From the very beginning Rand predicted that he would be able to get the case dismissed. We went to 2 court appearances where we were reset after which Rand was able to compile a stellar grand jury packet. Unfortunately, the grand jury recommended that the prosecutors take the case to trial rather than dismiss, but Rand was not about to settle for that, he assured us he would talk to the prosecutors and convince them to dismiss. 2 days before our 3rd court date, Rand called and told us he had been speaking to the lead prosecutor, and he was able to convince her to drop the case! A-MAZING! The relief was overwhelming, the dark cloud was immediately lifted and we could not have been more thankful to have such a diligent attorney on our side. He is like a dog with a bone and does not accept less than what he thinks is the best possible outcome! I should also mention that watching him in the courtroom, he is a standout, you immediately see his experience and professionalism outshine all the other attorneys in the room! We knew the minute we saw him working the room that we had made the right choice. I hope to never need Rand again, but you can bet that if we ever run into any trouble again he'll be the first person we call and I would recommend him to any family member or friend in a heart beat!

"I wholeheartedly endorse Rand. Of the attorneys I would trust for myself or my family and friends, Rand is at the top of my list. I have worked with Rand as a prosecutor and as a fellow defense attorney for many years and he exemplifies professionalism and good judgment. He is also smart as hell. Most importantly, Rand gives it all for his clients and fights to ensure that they are protected and given a voice in a system that swallows people up if they do not have a lawyer like Rand."

"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."
