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!

I am a family law attorney (and do not handles the same types of matters as Randy), but I know Randy well enough to make this recommendation. I endorse Attorney Randy Babi without hesitation. He knows the law, he cares for his clients, and is very trustworthy. God forbid I ever need his services, but he is one of the first people I would contact if I was in trouble.
