Solving Executive Salary Compensation Packages

Randy has continually demonstrated his knowledge and understanding of Executive Salary Compensation Packages. He has outstanding listening skills, confirmed by his taking time to understand our organization's complex needs and its related problems. Solving various difficulties, adjacent to our core p...roblem, included his suggesting creative alternatives plus advising us of incremental information resources for similar cases We found he is quick with response time, while at the same time, providing well researched and honest answers. Furthermore; his answers are easy to understand. Last but not least, Randy has an easy going personality and is a very nice person to know...he never gave the image of a so called "hired gun" as I experienced with other attorneys. John H., Director and Treasurer, $11 million non-profit organization.

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.
