Randall Bruce Rich

I don’t have enough words to describe how good an attorney Mr. Randall is…! I and my family cannot thank him enough for his help! He really worked hard to get the best possible outcome. A friend of mine referred him when my first attorney (whom I hired before Mr. Randall came on board) could not repr...esent me effectively in the case. Then Mr. Randall helped me without any upfront payment or commitment from me on his attorney fee. After the case was resolved, he charged me very reasonable for his services. I still remember when I asked him how did he take my case without any advance payment or commitment, he said “It is not about money; it is about doing the right things”. He is very compassionate and a friendly person. I strong recommend him...

You cannot convey on paper what Mr. Rich does for his clients. Attorney Rich is not intimidated by anyone or anything, and that was important for me. I meet him while he was a public defender, in fact he was assigned to me because of a serious matter I was facing, attempted Murder! I was talking ...to my friend in the hall of the courthouse before my arraignment. I said, after my arraignment I was going to get a private attorney to represent me (I figured a public defender was a waste of time) . There were several attorneys waiting to enter the court room in the hall, and one over heard me talking. This attorney called me over to him and said, "you need that guy, I know what you are facing and trust me, you need him". Of course he was referring to Randall Rich, but at the time I knew nothing about him and was very apprehensive, after all he was a public defender, and they never care or do a good job of defense, YEAH RIGHT, he soon debunked that myth. It was a self defense case, I shot a well known thug who attacked me on my birthday at my workshop. This guy had a history of assault and I did not, but unfortunately 22 years earlier I had acquired a felony and was lead to believe that all my rights had been restored some years after the conviction. These rights would have included gun ownership, but that was the "linchpin" the district attorney hung his case on. The gun was inherited in an old tool box that my father owned, and sat in my shop for few years until discovered. I cleaned the old gun and kept it in the shop for protection as the shop was in an alley, with a less than stellar reputation. Well to make a long story short, I was attacked by this thug who wanted trouble. He was angry he was not invited to cigars and cognac during my birthday celebration. He grabbed me and picked me up with one hand and threw me against a parked car, being much older and smaller, I knew I was in real trouble. A friend of mine, an off duty police officer tried to intervene, but it was too late. During the scuffle the gun went off (it was in my pocket) and he caught a ricochet in his shoulder. The district attorney saw an easy win, or so he thought. The DA brought charges that were so over the top, that several judges made comment to this fact. Attorney Rich told me not to worry, and went toe to toe with every opponent. Mr. Rich vigorously argued with the Judges and the district attorney, letting them know that we would not roll over and "plea bargain" simply because we were threatened with a 25 year to life sentence. Mr. Rich gave me the choice to decide on these matters, and was willing to proceed in any direction I felt comfortable. I knew at my age life would be over if this case was lost, but something about him made me feel confident. I remember the judge of my trial gave me a honest comment. He told me " you are facing a lot, and the offer made by the district attorney (5 years), was not bad considering". I looked at Mr. Rich, he looked me square in the eyes and said this is it, what do you want to do, I said proceed to trial. Mr. Rich smoothly handled my case and when it was over with a NOT GUILTY verdict, we walked out of the court room to a crowd of attorneys and county personnel that had been watching the court room video monitors. We were greeted as if we had just won the Superbowl, and in a way we did. This was the greatest victory of my life! Mr. Rich served me justice, as clearly without him, I am positive that I would have been incarcerated for years as a innocent man. I still consult attorney Rich in his private practice when ever I have legal business issues relating to my customers. I was surfing the net looking for his Fax- number and come across this site. I just had to say something about this man. Tony

When Randall Rich was an LA County Public Defender, he worked very hard to follow up on every name I gave hime that was pertinent to my case. He was extremely supportive and responsive, and he believed in me from the start. I was going through the worst experience of my life when I met Randall Rich, ...but he helped to turn everything around, and because of his efforts, I'm still around. He is a highly intelligent and ethical person, and if you need legal help, Randall Rich is someone you want to have in your corner.
