Randy David Curry

I have retained Atty Randy Curry for several legal issues - mainly relating to insurance bad faith, but also for other legal matters. Mr. Curry is not only an exceptional and honest atty., but also an incredible human being. He cares deeply about his clients. He is highly respected by his peers and p...arties involved in your matter. Randy Curry is diligent about every aspect of your case. He has always kept me informed regarding my cases and has been very honest with addressing expectations. I was very fortunate to have Randy on my side to obtain the results he promised and that I deserved. My experience with Randy is that he goes above and beyond to get the very best outcome for his clients. He fully understands the legal issues and the parties involved to achieve the most positive outcome for his clients. A client's resolution to their legal issue is highly contingent on the atty's level of preparation. Randy sets such a high standard that a significant number of atty's should follow - but do not. I highly recommend Atty Randy Curry to anyone in need of legal representation.

We hired Mr. Curry when Blue Shield denied ABA coverage for my son. The first thing Randy did was ask me about our insurance coverage and explain in detail the significance of ERISA, which I had known nothing about. I knew going into the case exactly what our challenges would be, and Randy painted a ...realistic picture while giving us hope that we had a good chance of succeeding in IMR. Randy was highly responsive, giving me step by step instructions for what we needed to do on our end to prepare, which we followed. The IMR was filed, and the Blue Shield decision to reduce ABA coverage was overturned! Blue Shield continued to make attempts to reduce coverage every 6 months. Because we are an ERISA case, I was worried each time that Blue Shield would just keep attempting to reduce ABA hours and eventually we would fail in IMR. With Randy's expert help (and emotional support, I should add), we won each and every time in IMR. To add to the complexity, eventually our ABA agency decided to side with insurance and prioritize their own business relationship with insurance over the children's needs. Mr. Curry went above and beyond to support us in a painful transition to another ABA agency that prioritized the children, and then helped us win each case as they came. With Mr. Curry you have not only an experienced and knowledgeable attorney, but a personal advocate who cares. I cannot imagine what my son's life would have been like if we had not been introduced to Mr. Curry. We recommend Mr. Curry's services highly, even for challenging cases such as ours.

I engaged Randy curry in Dec of 2020 to help represent my son in what he and I both agreed was unethical behavior by Blue Shield of CA regarding their denial of services for my autistic son. Randy told me that I needed to get a personal insurance plan for my son to avoid the ERISA statue. However Ra...ndy didn’t care that the insurance cost $500 a month and his request that I go out and get that insurance long before I could use it (he asked me to go get it in Dec 2020, however he knew I could not use it until May 2021) forcing me to waste $2500. Randy then suggested I start by filing an IMR saying that it would cost me $4500 (paid directly to him) to have him complete the application and organize the letters of support from my sons health care providers. He also asked me to get these letters from all of my sons providers and one of the letters cost me an additional $3000 to have this HCP come and observe my son in our home. Randy expressed on many a conversation how he was extremely confident that he would be successful because he had almost never lost these types of cases, and that Blue Shield would in-turn be forced to pay the additional services for my son. Then he said even if he was unsuccessful and we lost the IMR and we had to sue Blue Shield he was again extremely confident that we would win provided I had retained a personal insurance plan for my son to side step ERISA. Again with extreme confidence because in his words “He beats up on Blue Shield all the time” in these types of cases. We lost the IMR decision, however Randy assured me that when my ABA provider replied for my sons services that if Blue Shield again denied their request we would move to a lawsuit. However a month later when I gave my ABA provider my sons new insurance card and they requested services and were denied, Randy recommended I file another IMR (not sue) and pay him and additional $4500 otherwise we would lose the lawsuit. I asked why we hadn’t we discussed this from the beginning, because if winning the IMR was contingent on us winning a lawsuit why would I ever sue (or spend the money for an induvial insurance plan for my child, because if I won the IMR why would I have to sue? This is when I became upset and extremely suspicious. After stating to Randy that this is not at all what we spoke about or agreed to throughout the process. Randy became defensive and condescending, telling me I must not have understood the process as he explained it. I asked Randy why I had retained the additional insurance and why weren’t we moving directly to a lawsuit. He never gave me an answer. I also asked him if he would consider doing the IMR on contingency he “NO”. Randy’s poor legal advice and unethical behavior has cost me and my family close to $15,000 in Legal fees, HCP assessments and insurance. He is a parasite that prays on the hopes and fears of parents of children with special needs.
