San Clemente There's No Alternative

San Clemente Criminal Attorneys

Known for its ocean hills, mountain views, and beautiful climate, few people dislike San Clemente and the surrounding area, unless they have been on the receiving end of a San Clemente police officer. Too often, local officers interact aggressively with those committing minor offenses, sometimes engaging in questionable police work to conduct a search and obtain evidence. While the majority of the community believes that this is their tax dollars being put to good use, those facing charges experience a violation of their rights that can result in harsh penalties and unforgiving fines. Without proper legal defense, those facing charges can be railroaded by authorities and prosecutors into a case outcome that is anything but favorable.

At the Law Offices of Randy Collins, our coastal criminal attorneys know that just because you have been charged with a crime does not mean that you are guilty. There are two sides to every story and you can count on our attorneys to work tirelessly to expose any flaws in the prosecution’s case that could lead to a case dismissal or not guilty verdict. Call us today to find out how you can put yourself in a position to avoid costly mistakes and find out what options you have available.

    "They are such a great team to work with."
    I was new in the US and I didn’t know anything or what to do from Day 1 from presenting my case to Randy. He reassured me that he would help me and that I shouldn’t worry. He was very supportive, responsive to every question no matter how silly it was he was very patient and comforting. He knew exactly how to address the problem and had a plan of action and after a long 2 years, he won my case I appreciate every effort Randy & Chris have done. They are such a great team to work with and I would recommend him in a heartbeat

    "Randy is one of the best attorney's you could ever have."
    Randy is one of the best attorneys you could ever have. I’m eternally grateful to Randy and his team for his dedication and professionalism. Randy is very brilliant when it comes to felonies, probation violations, or other criminal cases... Randy is the best lawyer you can have. when other lawyers told me they couldn’t help me out... Randy always told me he can help me and there was never an impossible case to bring in his favor. He was always in touch and keeping me updated on my case, and he gave me the peace and comfort I needed during difficult times. This is the second time he has had to help me stay away from jail. I will never look into other lawyers. I’ll be a loyal client to Randy from now on. You are #1, Randy. Thank you

    "We are forever thankful to have found Randy."
    I cannot express how grateful I am to Randy and his team for the amazing job representing my dad. He was detailed, dedicated, and truly caring for my family throughout the entire process. We are forever thankful to have found Randy. It is rare to find a legal team that feels like extended family. We truly felt so cared for by him and Chris. His knowledge and expertise helped guide us through a very difficult situation and we are so happy to have found this team. I would refer Randy to anyone looking for legal representation. Randy is the best lawyer to call!!

    Randy worked tirelessly for over two years to have my case dismissed and I can’t thank him enough for everything that he did for me.

    "He went above and beyond!"
    Mr. Collins is highly recommended. He really takes the time to listen and answer all your questions. He went above and beyond on helping me out with an issue that was never my fault.
    Erik
    "Caring and Genuine Attorney"
    I called the office and right off the bat, I was super impressed at how much help I was receiving without even meeting in person. Chris (the guy who answered my call) is extremely nice and he explains everything so well. He told me how he used to work at the courts for many years (that gave me relief that he knew what he was talking about). Randy (the attorney) is delightful as well and put my worries to rest with his expertise and knowledge. You can tell by his demeanor and how passionate he speaks, that he is genuine and he cares about his clients. This office handles everything from DUI cases to just about anything criminal related.
