Dependable and relieable

I was very pleased with Mr. Medina's services. I could email him directly with questions regarding my case and he replied with promptness by either email or calling me directly depending on the urgency. His staff was very pleasant and helpful. I felt like he stood his ground when trying to reach a... mutual agreement with opposing party. My children were in his best interest and I would recommend him to anyone going thru child custody.

Recent Court Victory

I recently completed a family law case with Randy at Rancho Cucamonga Court, that involved both child support and spousal support. Prior to using Randy, I had employed the services of another less experienced attorney. The difference in legal experience and addressing clients needs was unbelievealbe.... Randy was always there to answer any questions. More than that, he used his vast legal knowledge and law enforcement insight to obtain court orders of my exspouses financial statements. This proved crucial in the ultimate decision that the judge rendered. Randy, has a no nonsence approach to his practice. He will tell you like it is, even if you may not like the outcome. He will not lie to you or fill you with expectations. If it is there, Randy will attempt to use every legal means to captilize on it. I highly recommend him.

Excellent Choice!

I married my second wife thinking that my previous marriage was already dissolved. We got referrals from a friend to Randy Medina, which we hire on the spot because of the urgency of the matter. He was very straightforward, and in a matter of 3 months my issue was resolved. Through out the who...le process he was always reachable, he keep us updated on the different stages of the process, and he finally pull for us a positive nunc pro tunc judgment. I highly recommend Randy because of his knowledge about family law, his professionalism and his kind character.

Agggressive and Knowledgeable

Two years ago, my child custody case began where I had hired a terrible and unexperienced attorney. I found my self in need of a strong and knowledgeable attorney. I did my research and found that Mr. Medina was an ex-military, ex-Police Officer, UCLA and USC graduate. While in court his experience... and strong attitude were apparent. He took my child's needs into consideration which I found to be a sign of character. During my case we covered child custody, child support, an evalution, a restraining order, smaller details of school and so forth...all the while Mr. Medina kept his cool which brought some relief to a time which was tiresome and stressful to me. The outcome to my case was one in where I am very greatful to have had Mr. Medina's services. Mr. Medina was prompt in response to my phone calls and emails. His assistants, as well, were very professional and courteous when dealing with them while Mr. Medina was in court on other cases. Mr. Medina kept me informed off all appointments and communications from my ex's attorney. I would and have recommended Mr. Medina to my friend's and family. My co-worker as well has attained Mr. Medina for her custody case and has expressed her happiness with his services.
