    "I paid him $5,000 for a quick trial after firing my old lawyer. It only took him three days to get ready. We won, and he sent me $1,500 back, explaining that since it only took him three days, the balance of the retainer was owed to me. Wow. I've never heard of that before! Very refreshing! We won, too! I knew we would. Good guy, good lawyer."

    "This man has a "Heart of Gold." He was very honest and kind, and he did everything he promised. The only negative thing I can say is that his investigator, Judd Slivka, was the worst—he didn't do his job right and didn't call me as promised by Randy. If Randy were to hire a more competent investigator, he would do even better."

    "I made a big mistake by not hiring this lawyer. He offered me a flat rate, which I initially thought was a bit high for what seemed like a straightforward case. I foolishly chose another lawyer who promised to challenge corrupt cops but failed to deliver. I ended up spending twice as much on sheer incompetence. I received more valuable advice for free from Randall than from the lawyer I paid. If I ever need a lawyer again in AZ, it will definitely be Randall."

    Having never committed a crime, ending up in jail was a humiliating experience for me. His staff kept me well-informed, Mr. Craig kept me calm, and ultimately, he negotiated the right deal for me. He charges simple flat rates and doesn’t bill for extras like copies and phone calls.

    "I was facing over 50 years in prison on false charges. Randy believed in me. My public defender had pushed for jail and intense probation as my only options. That's when I hired Randy. Three months later, my case was dismissed, and now I'm at home watching my son grow up. His assistant, Jennifer Prescott, is amazing; between the two of them, I was always informed and kept calm. Randy not only saved my life but also my family's. Thank you, Randy. I have a "checkered past" and have dealt with over 10 attorneys in my life. Randy is head and shoulders above the rest! THANK YOU, RANDY!!"

You really fought hard for me, and thanks to you believing in me, I’ve truly turned my life around.
