Despite my misfortune of being struck by a car while riding my bicycle last year, I feel very fortunate to have had Jason and his paralegal, Heather, on my side during my recovery. I faced costly emergency and other medical bills soon after the incident and dreaded the time-consuming effort of arguing with insurance companies as well as potentially losing money as a result of an accident. My employer spoke highly of Jason, and I understand why. He and his staff were cordial, professional, and responsive during every step of my case. It was a great support knowing his staff was working on my personal injury claim and and answering my financial questions while I resumed a normal lifestyle without that added burden. I am so grateful for the help of Jason and his office, and would recommend anyone to consult their personal injury needs with him.

I was so impressed with my entire case. Mr. Reese always kept me informed of every detail of my case. I alway's trusted everything he told me about the steps of my case. I never once had to call for an update. If you need a dedicated attorney I would suggest you call his firm. Plus we won our suit.

No one wants to experience an event that brings about the need for a medical malpractice lawyer. But there is much that is out of our control.
When I experienced a permanent, life changing injury I needed someone I could trust. I needed someone who would represent my story and help others understand the extent of my loss. Jill was that person. She was there for me. She diligently pursued my case for five years, dug into medical records, revealed key details, and built a strong case. She prepared me for long depositions and spoke up for me when questions were out of line, and in the end, she won. She won for me and family.
With the settlement, I am confident that I will be able maintain health insurance and cover future medical needs. I so much appreciate what she did for me. If you need someone to help you, I would highly recommend her.

The team at RMRK provided us with the absolute best experience possible through a bad situation. They were extremely professional and well organized and explained all aspects of the legal strategy and process that we were going through. They were very fair to work with and obtained the best outcome for our family. We would highly recommend them to others and would work with them again in the future if needed.

I went to this law firm and asked if they had a criminal attorney. I found myself at 56 years old needing a criminal attorney because of a lie from an ex-girlfriend.
I went in the receptionist said yes we have a criminal attorney that works for us. His name is Randy Fisher.
Met me on a Sunday charge me $5000 flat rate I paid him in cash. I was short $460. They let me know within three days that I owe them more money. It wasn’t quite 5000 in cash. I immediately went in and paid it.
Eight weeks later I was arrested while he was my lawyer and he told me I had nothing to worry about. I hadn’t seen my ex in 12 weeks.
Randy Fisher told me I did not need to be at my first pre-trial that he would handle it. He then called me right after court started and said you need to be here. I was wrong. The Jud said you have to be here so I raced to the courthouse.
By the time I got there, it was all over and talk to me outside the courts
The next five pre-trials Randy postponed
Because he had other clients that he had to deal with, he told me he was out of state during free trial
On the fifth one, they denied the continuance on the fifth trial that he tried to postpone while he was in Disneyland with his Family
He called me on the phone and told me I had a warrant for my arrest and it was his fault and he would take care of it not to go home until he called
Then put me up in a hotel, which he paid for
While in the hotel, he was on the phone with me pissed off that the courts denied his request after five other pre-trial extensions Because of him not me, I wanted this over with
I am immediately
Went and hired another attorney and had to spend $10,000
I told Mr. Randy Fisher that I hired another attorney. He got pissed off at me and charged me 5000 more dollars for him to stay on his attorney and he had to be lead attorney.
Seems like he was more worried about being Tony then being my attorney and doing his job instead of postponing everything that came my way while he handled his NFL clients
I went to his office at least five times complaining, but I didn’t think he was being a good attorney for me
They told me that he doesn’t actually work for their company, but that is not what they told me when I went in. They had a criminal attorney. On Staff
I went in and complained to the receptionist many times she said Randy kind of flies by the seat of his pants, but he’s got you
Randy Fisher damn they got me killed in my front yard when the police came to arrest me after he said he had everything taken care of with the DA his words exactly
I would never recommend this. They don’t what they say. They double their charges in the middle Of the case after giving you a flat rate.
Then they his office did nothing but make excuses for Randy Fisher
I’m putting this out there so nobody else gets screwed over by this company
What cinnamon over within a year has now dragged to three years because for one year and 9 1/2 months all he did was continue continue continue telling me time was on my side
Randy Fisher‘s words exactly
Then he told me because they held me at gunpoint at my front yard. I would become a millionaire by suing the police How inaccurate he was again
Also, I go to Michigan, Michigan, Michigan a lot I have a boat he told me not to ask for permission just to go and don’t get in any trouble. My second attorney I hired told me don’t ever leave the state again without the courts permission. He then asked the court if I could go to Michigan, my second attorney did and they said absolutely not. Mr. Johnson is not to be out of this state Randy told me I did not have to ask the courts permission. It’s easier to ask forgiveness than ask permission his words exactly. He. Let me go seven times to Michigan when that could’ve been a prison sentence itself.
I highly don’t recommend this company
They did nothing to help me. My second attorney had everything taken care of within 30 days of hiring him Randy two years nothing but continuances until they finally started denying his continuance because he asked for so many so he could handle his nfl Clie

What a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Can Do for You
A medical malpractice lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been harmed due to the negligence or misconduct of healthcare professionals, such as doctors, nurses, or hospitals. These lawyers assist in cases where a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury or death. Medical malpractice cases can involve misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, birth injuries, and other forms of medical negligence.
If you or a loved one has suffered harm due to improper medical treatment, a medical malpractice lawyer can help you understand your legal options, file a lawsuit, and pursue compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other damages.

- No upfront costs: You do not pay any legal fees unless the lawyer successfully recovers compensation on your behalf.
