The Superhero you need on your side

Randy is a highly knowledgeable lawyer who know is patient, highly intelligent, and calming. There is nothing more daunting than knowing that the US gov't is your adversary looking to end your freedom, career, family, and everything else that means the most from you. In times like this, Randy is the ...lawyer who you need to stand by your side and fight for your life. Not only is she fantastic in the courtroom, her experience allows her to see many steps ahead when most defendants are left in a constant state of uncertainty, and she will guide you through every step of the way to reach phenomenal outcomes. For her services, her pricing is unbeatable, and there is no other attorney I would trust more than her.

Randy walked me through the valley of shadow of death

Ms. Randy exemplifies professionalism and expertise while consistently demonstrating compassion in every interaction. We have full confidence in her abilities, and her dedication and sterling reputation among legal circles are widely acknowledged. Working with Ms. Randy has been a pleasure, and we wh...oleheartedly endorse her to anyone seeking an attorney who champions justice and steadfastly defends their case. In my situation, her impact extended beyond measure, not only for me but for my entire family. Describing the complexity of our circumstances in a few sentences is challenging. However, Ms. Randy adeptly navigated a serious case with multiple serious charges, resulting in minimal disruption to our lives. Thanks to her skillful assistance, I was able to retain my licenses and continue my professional pursuits. Importantly, she treated me not merely as a client, but as a cherished member of her extended family.

Experienced in State and Federal Criminal Law

Always professional, knowledgeable and personable. Randy walked me through every aspect of the process and explained my options. I appreciated her flexibility as some of our consultations were on weekends and late evenings. I believe that Randy provided excellent counsel and achieved the best outcome... based on federal law.

Fantastic

Randy was highly recommended to me by an attorney friend of my wife’s. As someone who never needed legal advice previously, Randy was the ideal person to help guide me through a complicated federal investigation involving a previous employer. She was knowledgeable, responsive and reassuring.

Absolutely incredible SUPER lawyer

Most people know and see her as a super lawyer, but I see her as my SUPERHERO. Despite having a complicated and multi-layered case, no obstacle was too big for Randy Sue Pollock to tackle. She believed in me and then proved to have the utmost due diligence in representing me and fighting for my story... against the US government. Randy Sue has a mind that thinks ten steps ahead of everyone else, with the ability to articulate her argument better than anyone else in the room. Her consistent work ethic, steadfast commitment, and total transparency are just some of the greatest qualities that encapsulate the type of lawyer Randy Sue is. From before, during, and after the trial, Randy Sue was not only there for me as my lawyer, but as a lifelong friend. Additionally, the support she offered my family throughout the case, and the relationship they still have was unexpected, yet shows how above and beyond Randy Sue will go to support her clients. Randy Sue does not fight to win a battle, she fights to win the war. I trust her with my whole life and can whole-heartedly say that anyone lucky enough to have her as a lawyer will feel the same way.

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.
