Hello, and welcome to my site. I am Attorney Jeffrey J. Randa. I concentrate my practice in the following areas: Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Cases, Criminal Cases, Drunk Driving Cases, and License Restorations. I have provided a “quick start” guide for each of my practice areas, followed with links for a more detailed discussion.

I am told, and really like to believe, that my office is different from those of other lawyers. My staff and I are friendly, honest, outgoing, and never stuffy or overly formal. We understand that you’re going through a tough time, but no matter how bad it may seem, we can help you find a reason to smile.

I know what real people go through on a day-to-day basis, and I know how an unfortunate circumstance can affect a person’s life. From the moment you pick up the phone and call my office, we’ll make sure that your experience with us is pleasant and informal, even though your business may be serious.

Let me start things off differently by doing 4 things that I think every lawyer’s website should do:

1. I list my prices right here, on the site.
   
   What’s the big secret, anyway? Personally, I never call any business that cannot either give me an exact price, or at least a good idea of what they charge for something. I wonder what they must be hiding. Nor do I do business with anyone who lists prices as “starting at…” To me, that’s a red flag. I’ve never found anything I ever needed or wanted that was covered by the “starting at” price. I list my fees throughout this site, and they are always reasonable. I never charge or come up with “hidden costs.” After nearly 20 years of handling the types of cases I do, I know exactly what it takes to do the best job possible, without cutting corners and without doing unnecessary work. That usually puts me somewhere in the middle of the prices you are likely to find.


2. I do not use the “appointment trick” to hook you into the office.
   
   My initial consultations are free, and done right over the phone, during regular business hours. I don’t do business with anyone who can’t at least give me a little bit of information and answer my questions over the phone. To me, it seems like those businesses are way too eager to either get me in or come out and start the sales pitch. When I’m looking to hire someone for something, I usually want to know a few things first. I respect your time as much as mine, and I appreciate the chance to see if our interests match and the convenience of being able to do that over the phone. I hate the idea of using an “office consultation” as a first chance to get you into the “client chair,” and I never do that. In fact, I’ll tell you right here that I firmly believe in being a smart consumer, and that you absolutely should “shop around.” I do, and I think you should, as well. If you call me first, I’ll expect that you may want to make some other calls, and I’ll always invite you to call back with any additional questions you may have. If you call me last, I’m happy to “compare notes” with other things you’ve learned while making your inquiries. The point to all this is that you, as the consumer of legal services, have a right, and indeed and obligation to yourself, to learn all you can about your situation and what options are available to you, and which will work best for you. Anyone wanting to shortcut that process is definitely someone to avoid.


3. I will not feed you a little bit of scary information, then prompt you to “call now!”
   
   Instead, I try to be as thorough and provide as much information on this site as possible to help you understand your situation. I have added links all around the site so that you can cross-reference the information here with other sources that can also assist you. In addition, you can link to my Blog, which is updated at least 3 times per week and is loaded with useful information about Bankruptcy, Criminal Cases, Drunk Driving and Driver's License Restorations.


4. I will not bore you with meaningless self-praise about my commitment to be “aggressive,” “dedicated,” “vigorous,” or whatever.
   
   Instead, I promise that both my staff and I will be honest, fair, and friendly. We will speak to you plainly, answer your questions clearly. We will never use any gimmicks, tricks or high-pressure tactics when we speak or deal with you. Whichever of us takes your call, we will always be friendly, courteous and polite. Most of all, we’ll make sure you see how different my office is right from the start, and that you’ll be glad you called.



My telephones are always answered by one of my two really friendly staff members. That’s not just some slogan, but a way of doing business that makes my office different. If you can’t already tell, I’m not short on words. Neither my staff, nor I are the kind of people who give one or two-word answers to your questions. We’re talkers. We like what we do. I think each of us goes home with a sore throat from talking so much. One thing we hear again and again is how we were the first office to take the time to really answer someone’s questions and explain things in detail.

When you call, we will probably have a few questions which will help us figure out your exact situation, and then be ready to answer your questions and help you out right then and there. No matter what other lawyers you do or don’t call, I know you’ll be glad that you called me as well. My commitment to each of my clients is to produce the best results humanly and legally possible in their case.

No lawyer can ever do more, and I’ll never do less.
