About Randi
Biography
Attorney Randi Johnson focuses her law practice on a range of disability law issues. Since 2007, she has advocated on behalf of the disabled in their claims for Service-Connected Veterans benefits, Social Security Disability Insurance and SSI benefits. She has significant experience, ranging from Initial Applications through Federal District Court appeals. Randi has covered 39 states and Puerto Rico, handling over 1500 Social Security hearings. In 2010, the Veterans Administration certified Randi as an accredited attorney to take claims on behalf of Veterans.
Over the course of her practice, Randi observed that many disabled clients were simultaneously applying for multiple benefits programs. Rather than force a client to seek additional attorneys to handle all their cases, Randi decided to augment the focus areas of her disability practice. We provide clients the opportunity to have one Legal Team handle these sensitive issues and reduces the need to repeat their stories over and over again to different attorneys. This is especially critical with individuals who have experienced significant emotional and/or physical traumas.
Having practiced in both the large and small firm environments, Randi’s experience guides her advocacy and service for her clients. Randi believes in getting to know her clients. It is important to Randi that her clients understand the claims process, and that each individual client is provided with the information necessary to make informed decisions about their case/s. Randi makes it a priority to see that a client feels they were provided the opportunity to exercise their rights, win or lose – regardless of the outcome.
Outside the office, Randi stays very busy with her husband and children. She enjoys international and domestic travel, her Audible account, road cycling (and more recently her Peloton) and has completed the STP – Seattle to Portland bike classic twice.
