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.

Excellent and Professional Lawyer & Character - Thank You!

I needed a lawyer to address a child custody and support issue that has arisen 2 years after the divorce was final. We had used a mediator during the divorce and thus I had never hired a lawyer or went to court and I was very uncomfortable facing this challenge and uncertainty. I consulted four law...yers including Mr. Medina. I saw his bio on the following site (http://www.rwmedinalaw.com/Bio/RandyMedina.asp) and was impressed with his honorable career and choices. In doing my research, I \saw the one negative, anonymous review above and I found the bio and the negative review hard to reconcile - and thus was eager to find out more. After meeting Mr. Medina in consultation, I immediately knew he was the lawyer I wanted out of the four to represent me. He was positive, careful, appeared very knowledgeable and above all just genuine. I was very uneasy and distraught about the pending situation and I distinctly remember that he walked me to the door at the end of the meeting and said "Don't worry, it will be all right" - it was so re-assuring and real. Since then, in preparing for the case, I have visited his office about a half dozen times and during these visits, I always feel in very good hands and come away feeling very positive about the case. Along with knowing the law and demonstrating significant experience, he conveys common sense and real connections with people and to the things that really matter - i.e. the children and the parents' well being. There have been a number of documents that have needed to be developed and filed and in all cases he prefers to pass all of them by me and is more than willing to incorporate my suggestions and comments in cases where he does not view them to be compromising but rather strengthen the case. We have come most of the way in the case, including a deposition and had a day in court. In both, he stepped up to the plate; he prepared me well for the deposition and he performed very professionally and effectively in court. I have found that he steers away from negativity and instigating actions that might make matters worse and is cognizant of trying to come up with quicker, easier solutions if they can be found. Moreover, his office staff has been effective in facilitating communications, appointments, document development/revision, etc. I feel so fortunate to have Mr. Medina represent me and I highly recommend him and his services. Best wishes with your case.
