Didn't read any evidence

Didn't bother to look at anything let alone try to defend us. Wasn't even concerned about taking it to trial kept pushing to take the deal. Would not recommend

He lacks integrity

“Throw the dog a bone.” That is how Randall Richards explained his failure to challenge the prosecution’s transparently false claims against me that would lead to an uncontested misdemeanor conviction. He said that by giving them that, the prosecution would be less inclined to pursue a felony convict...ion. Instead, by not fighting that misdemeanor charge, it only strengthened the prosecution’s case on the felony charge. I was in a vulnerable situation, and I trusted him to do his best to defend me. He put on a little show, but he really did not try to defend me. I can see that now. In retrospect, it is clear that he sacrificed me, his client, in exchange for good will and future consideration from the Weber county attorney’s office. Randall Richards’ first goal is to benefit himself, not his client. Did he throw the dog a bone? No, he threw me to the wolves. Randall Richards is not Atticus Finch. If you are a Mormon in good standing, then yes he might give you decent representation. Otherwise, don’t count on it. I hired him in good faith, and that was a big mistake.

The best!

Randy handled my very difficult divorce process with patience, persistence, and class. Very accessible and personable. When things looked like it was going to a nasty trial, his skill brought the proceedings to a mutual agreement with me being treated very fair in the end. With Randy Richards represe...nting you, you can sleep at night knowing that the best of the best is on your team and fighting out of your corner.

Aggressive When He Needs to Be

I would recommend Randy to anyone! He handled my divorce case really well and arranged the custody agreement to my benefit. He really goes to bat for you. He is great at answering questions and helping you understand what comes next..

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.
