This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

An excellent Lawyer

Gary Randall did an excellent job in helping with my legal issues. He is an expert in his field and is highly respected by the legal community. He is not only very knowledgeable but he is very pleasant to work with. He always responded quickly to my messages, and provided me with all the informati...on that I needed. I would highly recommend that you choose to work with Gary.

Prior ratings mistake

I meant to give tax attorney Gary Randall the HIGHEST possible ratings, as he is an outstanding professional. Unfortunately, I misunderstood the ratings system. I want people to know that Gary Randall is the lawyer you want in your corner for your tax matters. He is absolutely the BEST.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
