Testimonials

"Randel has represented me for more than a decade and during that period I faced several business situations that required a unique understanding of the business and legal worlds. In each situation he figured out a way to the end zone - always with excellent results. I have used many attorneys in my business career but he is different in that he understands how to bridge both legal and business needs."

"Jim Randel recently handled a very complicated and challenging acquisition for my family. A large commercial transaction with lots of hurdles. Beginning to end was about 9 months but he got us there and with a very successful conclusion. Give him our highest recommendation."

Mary F.

"We were stuck in a difficult problem as shareholders in a closed corporation with other family members. The Board of Directors was gridlocked and the assets owned by the corporation were in jeopardy. We had heard about Randel from some business associates and decided to hire him. Thank Goodness! He negotiated a multi-million buy-out for our family and saved us from potential litigation."

Lisa and Steve G.

"My co-executor and I were totally unsure what to do with a very difficult problem involving lots of family members. A mutual friend recommended we speak with Randel and in about one hour he understood the situation and discussed options. By some kind of miracle, we are now under Contract to dispose of an Estate asset that has been the biggest problem for us. If you are ever in a jam, he is the right person to call."

Lara C.

"During the pandemic and actually also a power outage, we asked Randel to represent us in the purchase of a large property. We also had a tough timeline because we were competing with another buyer. Fortunately for us he grasped the challenge quickly and with relationships he had with other attorneys involved, he got us a successful purchase. Strongest recommendation."

Gary R.

"My wife and I were juggling a very challenging sale and a purchase - we could not purchase until we sold and we had a very strict timeline on both. We had heard of Randel's reputation as an attorney who knew how to get things from Point A to B and so we called him. He immediately came up with a strategy for how we might get the closings done in sequence and on time and in fact that is exactly what happened. Would recommend him for anyone with a big hurdle to get over."

"Jim represented me over the course of a year or so in a difficult situation I was having with my fellow stockholders. There were a lot of moving parts but somehow he pulled it all together and got me a favorable buy-out. I give him my highest recommendation."

Peter L.

"I have lost count of the number of jams that Randel has got me out of. I am in the real estate development and maintenance business - both of which he understands as well or better than I do. As a result, he is able to negotiate with people on my behalf with a complete knowledge of the business... if he ever retires, then I will retire as well."

Steve C.

"Randel represented my partner and I with respect to our investment in a restaurant that was failing. We feared we were about to lose our entire investment and then somehow Randel turned the matter around and we got out whole PLUS .... Not quite sure how he did it but if you are ever in a difficult situation, he is the right guy for you."

Kenny U.

"I did not really know Jim Randel well but was in a difficult situation trying to close on a new construction house purchase and someone recommended him. He guided me through the process from the beginning to end. He clearly understands construction and eventually we made the right decision to buy another house - best decision we could have made."

Ian S.

"I was in a problem with a brokerage transaction and people threatening lawsuits and i decided to call Randel because I knew he had a reputation for working things out without going to court. I am happy to report that all ended up well to my favor. I give him five stars."

Robert C.

"Jim Randel has been my personal attorney for 10 years ... during that time I have asked him to handle many matters that were somewhat unusual or difficult ...he has always come through and I am very appreciative.... Highest recommendation. I’ve recommended Jim to my friends, each of whom are so pleased they continue to retain his services."

John D.

“We spent over 20 years building our veterinary practice and when we were approached by a large consolidator, we were overwhelmed. The purchase price involved stock and cash and so was quite complicated. Wanting and needing to still run our business, I needed to concentrate on delivering medical care to my patients and compassionate care to my clients, working with Jim enabled me to continue to run our business while he handled all of the legal matters, including employment agreements. Randel did an excellent job helping me wade through the decisions I had to make, and representing my best interests with the buyer. I strongly recommend him and could not have been happier with his work on my behalf."

Gerry P.

"Jim represented our medical practice in a contested matter with a member of the partnership who had just retired. Candidly, we could not believe the results he achieved. Much better than we had hoped or budgeted. He saved us a considerable amount of money. I give him my highest recommendation."

Dr. B

"Randel represented our family on the acquisition of land parcels on which we developed a national pharmacy, he handled the negotiation and execution of the lease agreement, and eventually a very successful sale. We were very pleased with his legal work and his unique knowledge of the business side of the real estate world."

Sam G.

"Randel recently represented a group of us making a multi-million dollar loan which included not just the usual paperwork but also a creative option agreement and comprehensive borrower affidavits. We needed to get the deal done in 48 hours and somehow Randel pulled it off. I had heard of Randel's reputation, which is why we hired him, and we could not have been happier with his performance."

Bill W.

"My family switched attorneys in the middle of a transaction because the deal was in trouble and we felt we needed someone stronger. Complicating things, we were in Europe while the deal was happening. We had heard of Randel as a problem solver and we hired him. End result - we could not have been more satisfied with his advice and actions.

Christine O.

"I knew Jim for a number of years but he had never represented me until I got into a difficult situation with a municipality involved and a challenging seller of a business... had to deal with banks, investors, town government, tough seller ... you name it... I hired Randel because he has a reputation for figuring out how to get to the finish line, and he did just that.... give him my highest recommendation."

Mike R.

"Hired Randel because I had heard about him as a problem solver ... i was in a gridlocked partnership that was barreling toward litigation ...Randel broke the logjam and got me a very favorable resolution ... highly recommend."

B. Ryan

"My partners and I recently completed a complicated matter in Hartford. We reside in California and Texas and did not know any CT attorneys. We
were recommended to Randel by a local entrepreneur who we know to be very successful. We have worked with attorneys from all over the U.S.
and Randel is definitely "best of class." We are extremely happy with the outcome."

K. Williams

"My partners and I had heard of Randel's reputation and so we engaged him to assist us in the defense of a lawsuit and to find an alternative to litigation. The outcome was excellent, and we avoided expensive and time-consuming litigation. Highly recommend him."

Jonathan B.

"I was recently involved in a very challenging matter regarding a large transaction. I had been recommended to Randel by a banker I knew well, and trusted. He said 'Randel is the best'. I must admit that he had a point. Randel negotiated and guided me out of a potentially big headache to a successful closing. Highly recommend him."

Ron W.

"I had been very frustrated with the resolution of a legal matter - getting nowhere in about two years - and so I picked up the phone and called Jim. I knew him and knew that he had a great reputation but was not sure he could be of any help to me. To my amazement, within 10 days the matter was resolved to my satisfaction. I give him my strongest recommendation."

Carole H.

"I was in the process of buying a business and was totally stuck ... the lender I had been recommended to was putting me through an impossible wringer and the Seller's attorney was losing patience... an attorney I knew recommended Randel and 30 days later I closed on the purchase. He lined up the financing and calmed things down with the Seller.... highest recommendation."

Sarah G.

"Randel and I had been friendly but never in a business relationship. When my family got into a financial bind with an out-of-state lender, about to lose a large family investment, we asked Randel to represent us... the deal was very complicated. Somehow he resolved the matter to our grateful appreciation. Highest recommendation."

Sam C.

"Randel represented my family and I in the acquisition of a large commercial real estate property with respect to a business we were starting. His unique knowledge of both the business and legal sides of the real estate world was invaluable in guiding us through to a very successful conclusion. We are very excited to open our new business and very appreciative of how he led our entire team from beginning to end of this acquisition.
Highest recommendation."

Tim Z.

"My wife and I are real estate investors who recently purchased a house in Westport, CT. We were referred to Jim Randel by a Connecticut Real Estate Broker. She said he was the best around, and Jim and team lived up to the billing. Our purchase was a complicated reverse 1031 exchange that then reverted to a standard exchange – suffice to say the entire process was challenging, but Jim and his team handled the entire transaction seamlessly. While it is always a pleasure to work with experts, the fact that we live in California meant we relied all the more on the stellar representation from Jim. We would certainly recommend Jim Randel Esq. to anyone in need of representation."

Jeff B.

"Nearly 22 years ago we met Jim Randel. Today, after completing 7 multimillion dollar deals with Jim, we are embarking on yet another deal with him. Jim’s professionalism yet down to earth demeanor and genuine concern for his clients is quite evident and palpable. Not all transactions go smoothly and Jim is exceptionally capable of navigating the simplest deal to the most complex. He knows the industry of Real Estate deals and is second to
none in our book."

Doug H.

"I hired Randel to help me with the sale of my business. Although we knew each other, I had never used him as my attorney. All I can say is that I am very happy I hired him. The sale was a challenge for me personally and fortunately I had him in my corner guiding me through a difficult process! Highly recommend him! "

Peter R.

"I was in a really difficult situation. A friend of mine suggested I call Randel. I had met him once but did not know that much about him. All I can say is THANK GOODNESS. Somehow - in a matter of days - he resolved my problem better than I even hoped. Could not be more grateful."

Sarah S.

"While I was familiar with Jim's name, I had no prior experience with his business expertise. Engaging him in my commercial property purchase proved to be one of the smartest business decisions I made. Jim's industry knowledge was evident from the start - he knew right away which lender to connect me with, how to price and structure the deal, and how to expertly navigate the unexpected issues that came up. I can confidently say that without Jim's guidance, this transaction wouldn't have materialized. I wholeheartedly endorse his services with the highest recommendation possible."
