Moving Order - Professional and Meticulous Lawyer

Mr. Randy Medina was very professional and really knowable in regards to child custody and moving orders. He was very detailed in explaining what could happen if the decision was to go one way or the other. He made sure we understood what we were getting ourselves into. One of the biggest attribut...es we loved from Randy was his research of the many previous cases that has happened and utilizing those examples to your specific case. During our court hearing for our final decision, we loved that he walked us through our stressful experience and really explained why this process would be best for our case. We actually learned a lot from him during our moving order. We would like to thank Mr. Randy Medina and his team for working with us and fighting for our family to relocate. We highly recommend him and his team.

My Unexpected Education in Family Law

Mr Medina in our initial consultation told me what I needed to hear, not what I thought I wanted to hear. He is very experienced and basically pushed my case forward because the other party seemed to want to drag things out. Lets face facts..... This was a divorce. no one is ever 100% satisfied. I... did however receive what I now know is a more than fair settlement. Both in terms of custody and support. I came out better than many fathers. Had I represented myself I do not believe this would have been the case. My case took a little over 2 years to complete, but from the time I spent in court I figure my case took about 1/2 the average. My lawyer was fair in billing and explained the process at the beginning and throughout the case. I do not ever wish to need his services again, but I would not hesitate to recommend him or call him myself should the need arise. Mr Medina is a fair and competent family lawyer. In my opinion he is in the top 5% of his field.

Trustworthy Attorney

I was looking for an attorney that I could trust and has knowledge in Family Law. I found this in Mr. Medina. On a scale of 1-10 (10 being best), Mr. Medina's knowledge in Family Law is a 20. When in court, Mr. Medina is highly respected by other attorneys and the judge. Mr. Medina was extremely we...ll prepared compared to my ex's attorney. I HIGHLY recommend Randy Medina.

I would hire Mr. Medina again

I hired Mr. Medina for a child custody case. I was impressed with his knowledge of the law and how it applied to my situation in particular. He advocated for me and my children before the judge to achieve a resolution that really benefited my children. He was very professional and well respected by t...he judge. The judge even told me in court that I had a very good lawyer working for me. If I had to do it all over again, I would hire Mr. Medina again.

Competent Family Lawyer

I’m Canadian and had full legal custody of my two children, my ex wife has been harassing me for several years with legal suits filed in California. I have moved to another country with my children making my case even more complex. There were differences in time zones and concerns of inter jurisdicti...onal issues to consider. My last lawyer of 7 years suddenly dropped me after she lost a simple petition in court due to a technicality. I had less than 30 days to file my legal response to the court and was desperate for a good lawyer. I found Randy on the internet and saw good reviews about him as an ex-military man and police officer. I felt that he stood for righteousness and had integrity. He took on my case and he turned around and won every allegation filed against me. It was a turning point. Despite another round of appeals from my ex, I am confident that Mr. Medina will do his best to protect my rights and those of my children. I am highly recommending Mr. Medina to anyone in need of solid legal defense. We only communicated by phone and email but I am grateful that he represented me with the utmost professionalism, high level of service and legal expertise. I’m writing this review to help out anyone who might be in a similar situation and in need of a very competent lawyer.
