I would like to take the time here and thank April Perry Randle and associates for all they did for our family. We had never been through this process before and the feeling of insecurity was humbling and scary. April explained the process and expectations in a manner that made a lot of the feelings I had go away. I am the detailed and organized type and thought nothing like this would ever happen to me or my family. The comforting thing was when I called or emailed questions or doubts she would always respond in a timely manner and answered questions throughly. If you're looking for a great bankruptcy attorney you can stop looking because in my opinion she helped us all the way through to closing our case. One more thing April Perry Randle and her associates made sure at the end of things, we knew what to expect and the paperwork was ready to go without any problems. We are done with this 5 year process and she stayed right there with us the whole time. 5 stars for April Perry Randle, and I'm glad to publicly thank and write this recommendation for her firm. I hope I never have to file again but, if I do I'm not hesitating to call on her again. Sincerely, Stephen C. Cleveland, Tn

From the moment I first spoke with April Randle on the phone, I knew that she was the lawyer for me. She was personable, bright, but most of all, she had time for me. I knew this was a person who truly fulfilled the meaning of the term 'advocate.' She fought for us in so many ways. And I, being a clueless booby who at times forgot payments, she had to pull me out of more than just the initial scrape. She never made me feel stupid no matter what my question was and she never lost her patience with me. If you need your own personal Amazon who will always be on your side, this is your gal. We think the world of April Perry Randle.

From the moment I contacted The Law Office of April Perry Randle I felt at ease. The whole staff was courteous, very professional & helpful. At no point did I ever feel like just another client, they treated me with respect. They took the time to find out what the best solution was for me and always answered any questions I had. Everyone falls on hard times but with Ms. Randle & her knowledgeable staff, you don't have to go through it alone.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level
- Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?

Credentials
- How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?

Cost
- How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?

City
- Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
