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.

Great law firm!

I have used Gioffredi and Assoc. many times for tickets and they have all been excellent. Mr. Stevens office kept me informed of everything and took care of my situation very quickly. I would highly recommend him! I will use them again.

The Best Attorney I have ever Had!!!

Everytime i get a traffic ticket I call Mr. Stevens Office. I have yet to ever have one ticket show up on my record. It is very important that i don't have anything show up on my driving record, I have a C.D.L. I gurantee that if you need an Attorney Mr. Stevens is the one. I promise you wil love the... outcome when it is all over. I can't say thank you enough to Mr. Stevens and all of the Staff at his office.

Traffic ticket representation; speeding

I have (sheepishly) had to use Mr Stevens services for speeding tickets in the Dallas Forth Worth area over the last 10 years on several occasions. He is prompt, courteous, and from a client's standpoint.....was able to have all my tickets dismissed. I appreciate his professionalism and refer all m...y friends as needed.

I think that Michelle doesn't quite understand the "five star" rating system. She says nothing but flattering things about Mr. Stevens, including referring all of her friends, then gives him the lowest possible "one star" rating accross the board. Uh.. hello! Earth to Michelle!

Excellent Attorney

Excellent, conscientious, hard-working attorney. Diligently handled my speeding ticket for a reasonable fee and had it dismissed. I refer all of my family and friends to J. Randell Stevens.

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.
