A fee for service was agreed upon and paid in full for which not only did Mr. Leavitt did not perform as promised but after a period of time, during which he did little or no work, he asked for more money. Apparently lazy, distracted, self-centered.

Best of the Best

Randy Leavitt saved my life. He kept a clean man's record clean when I was in the most unfortunate of circumstances. He is the epitome of a Super Lawyer. He will never over promise, never sugarcoat, never mislead you. A 100% straight shooter and he means business. You can trust that he will always w...ork in your best interest. Randy knows the machine that is the Travis County legal system as well and better than any attorney out there, so if you hire him, listen to him and follow his instructions. Anyone in a precarious and frightening situation would be lucky to have him fighting for them. I cannot recommend Randy highly enough.

A man of the law

Randy has helped me navigate the waters of the criminal justice system on several occasions. He knows his way in and out of the courtroom. When my liberty is at stake I will always choose Randy.

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.
