When this guy says he's a BOSS Attorney he really means it, he got a case dismissed for me when another reputable attorney told me I was getting two points no matter what. Randy went in the prosecuting attorneys office like a boss and came out with a dismissal, Thanks for living up to your name. This man is a LIVING LEGEND!
