Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I share an office suite with Randy and had the privilege of working with him on one of my personal injury cases this year. Throughout our association, Randy worked tenaciously to ensure we were able to obtain fair compensation for our client. His knowledge, experience and compassion are top notch. I highly recommend Randy to anyone looking for a caring, experienced trial lawyer for their own case and to other attorneys looking to associate on a case.

I endorse this lawyer. Randy is a fine lawyer. I have known him since law school together. Peter Maier
Jay Leipham, Personal injury Attorney on Aug 17, 2009
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I endorse this lawyer's work. I've worked with other lawyers and the experience has not always been enjoyable or mutually productive. Randy's analysis and client compatibility was always right-on. And no greater praise can one offer for co-counsel than this: Randy packs his own weight, and then some. His response to a tough summary judgment motion was masterful, with defense counsel asking afterword how he had developed such a seamless presentation. Defeat of that motion set up the case for settlement, in a matter which would have been a very difficult trial in an extremely conservative county.
