About Randy
Biography
I have been practicing in Phoenix since 1982, initially working exclusively for insurance companies - either defending their insureds in personal injury cases or defending the insurers themselves in coverage situations or against bad faith claims. After several years I took on a few plaintiffs and then, by word of mouth referrals from clients, my plaintiff's practice began to grow and eventually left little time for defense work. My practice is now split about equally.
My experience from both sides gives me a unique perspective, and one that I believe is very beneficial to clients. I have purposefully remained in a small firm so that your contact is either directly with me or another lawyer with no less than 7 years of experience - your case is not shuffled off to some new associate for "training" purposes.
We don't advertise, and we don't brag - we just work hard for our clients to get them everything they deserve.

Only the best experience!
We have used services of Randy Sassaman's law firm for our negotiations with a big insurance company. He was recommended to me and my wife by another lawyer, who was not able to take our case at the time. And we are so glad now that Randy and Mike took that case and pursued it so tirelessly. They pre...

Out of towner
Randy and his firm help settle my case out of court and miles away. We worked via email and phone conferencing. He advised me and kept me informed throughout the process, which was new to me. Would like to personally meet and thank him next time I'm out there.
