Excellent experience

I’m very happy with Mr. Wagner’s services! He was very knowledgeable about what needed to be done and did a great job of communicating with me. He was always available if I needed him and did a great job of letting me know what was going on. He was very reassuring and confident throughout the whole p...rocess. His prices were very fair, and the outcome was much better than I hoped for. He did his best to work with me and get the outcome I wanted and went out of his way to help me. He’s the best around. I will definitely come to him in the future if the need arises.

Excellent work for fair charges

Based on a referral, I called Randy to get some advice on a legal matter. Being charged with "Under the Influence of a controlled substance" was a serious issue - one that could ruin my career. In short - Randy is articulate, intelligent and has a clear understanding of the law and how it is applie...d in courtrooms across California. His advice was excellent and has proven over time to be 100% correct. Excellent work for fair charges and have been completely satisfied with the legal services. I highly recommend them.

Great Experience

Recently I went through a hell of a legal process. Initially I was charged on multiple felony credit card fraud charges. My world went upside down, as these accusations were serious and I was headed for a severe sentence. After reading different online reviews, I decided to contact a few attorneys ar...ound my area and see firsthand how they would handle my case. After many phone calls, I decided to personally visit a few of them, as many of them offer a limited free consultation. After meeting with Randy, in my conscience and heart I knew that I can put my life in his hands. He answered my questions and he explained in detail all of the possible options and outcome. I felt that some other lawyers were more interested to just hook me on, so I would come back again and sign up with them. In many ways Randy was different; he was genuine and had that unwavering commitment to my case. He was confident in resolving my case, and throughout the whole case he aggressively defended my rights. If you want to save your time, money and energy, put your trust in Randy. It worked for me, as I was completely dismissed of all felony charges. Looking back, it was really unsettling time in my life, and I’m glad that I had a trustworthy lawyer by my side. Highly recommended!

I recommend Randy to anyone seeking a legal counsel.

Having to contact a defense lawyer is most likely not on anyone’s top 10 list. Working with Randy and his team made this experience painless. I was always kept up to date on where we were at in the process. I would recommend Randy to anyone seeking a legal counsel. Great results and great lawyer!

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.
