Default Judgement & Bank account hold

I believe the interaction was not engaging enough and my core questions were not addressed. The basic idea of understanding the judicial procedure and its consequence either way was unexplained. Did not help me to make an educated decision.Back to where I was.

For the record, you never consulted with me, you posted a question and I answered.

Client Review of J. Randell Stevens

I retained Randell about a speeding ticket. I am 73 years old and attempt to drive carefully. However, due to circumstances I didn't understand, I was ticketed for doing 51 in a 40 mile an hour zone. Randell's firm gave me prompt service, expert advice and a successful conclusion in court. He is a to...p flight gentleman as well as very professional lawyer. I highly recommend him and his staff.

Undefeated

I have been using Gioffredi & Associates now for over 10 years and Mr. Stevens has helped me in the majority of the past cases as well as the current one and really knows the ins & outs of the system because he has never failed.

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.
