Reviews
Whitney is extremely reliable and ready to jump on anything. She cares about her clients and works hard to help them meet their individual goals. Very knowledgeable, resourceful, and knows how to get things done! Randy took on a family law client whom I had represented regarding criminal case in Fayette county but who needed a new family law client in Madison County. She was in a tight spot and he really came through!
Randy was able to negotiate a fair restitution amount, terms and dismissal of all insurance , citations and civil matters!m. Very satisfied.
Both of these attorneys know what they are doing and will fight for their clients. Randy has years of experience and is never afraid of a challenge or a fight. He will tell it like it is. He is an encyclopedia of what to do next in Madison County. Whitney is a walking resource bank- she knows all the best legal research, motions, and contacts. She is kind and thoughtful and real. It isn’t fair that she is such a powerhouse attorney and looks like a million bucks. This team has helped me out often and I am confident they will do that for everyone who hires them.
