Mr. Collins did an outstanding job of proving my innocence!
I was facing some pretty serious accusations which ultimately didn’t get dropped and had to go to trial. Mr. Collins did an outstanding job of not only finding a ton of evidence for my case, he was able to prove my innocence! Sometimes we find ourselves in situations out of our control; he was able to take away a lot of stress that I was dealing with and his team was amazing throughout this whole ordeal! I pray I never need his services again, lol, but he’s definitely someone you can trust to have your back and best interest in mind!

I felt like a human being again
With my situation, I was so lost, losing sleep, and terrified to check the daily mail. Randy was nice enough to take my call while I was in search of answers, or even closure. Randy was able to give me very clear direction on how to find that answer. Luckily, I learned that I did not have to go to court and my case was dropped. I made a mistake, but he still treated me empathetically over the phone, never anything less. I felt better just from the call alone; in the end, I felt like a human being again, not the monster and pariah that I was openly accused of.

Randy is a made for TV kinda lawyer
My previous experience with lawyers was really bad, but Randy really came through for me and my family. The case was a shitshow to say the least. I had a lawyer refer to the case as 'some Jerry Springer stuff.' There were mountains of documents and evidence from my end and multiple solid witnesses against me. Randy filtered through my evidence and was able to focus me on what was really important and removed all the non-factors I was fixated on proving. He and Chris condensed my evidence and helped me truly understand the concepts of my case and how it would be presented to a jury.
He’s not scared to call out dirty cops, bad investigators, or poor conduct from law enforcement.
The trial was nerve-wracking for me, but he remained cool, collected, and focused throughout. He was very verbal with objections when needed, and he questioned people in a way that had them frazzled, to say the least. Randy is a made-for-TV kinda lawyer. He’s so magnetic he had the jury whiplashed between his questions and the witnesses' responses. His questioning gets intense and heated really quick... edge-of-your-seat kind of thing.

Meet the Law Offices of Randy Collins
At the Law Offices of Randy Collins, we focus exclusively on criminal defense for clients across Orange County, including Newport Beach, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Los Angeles. We handle a wide range of cases, from DUI, drug crimes, and domestic violence to burglary, fraud, sex crimes, and murder. Led by a former Deputy District Attorney and Narcotics Task Force member, we bring insider knowledge of prosecution strategies to every case we defend.
We begin by listening to your story, then build a customized defense strategy aimed at protecting your rights and securing the best possible outcome. Our team is known for being responsive, keeping you updated, and explaining each step of the process so you never feel alone or in the dark. From investigation through negotiation or trial, we stand beside you, fighting for your future with skill, dedication, and integrity.
A plea bargain is an agreement between you and the prosecutor where you plead guilty to a lesser charge in exchange for a reduced sentence or dropping other charges. It can be a strategic decision to avoid trial, but it's important to discuss the implications with your attorney before agreeing.
Can I represent myself in court?
While you have the right to represent yourself, it is not advisable. Criminal defense is complex and having a skilled attorney increases your chances of a favorable outcome. An experienced defense attorney understands the legal system, can negotiate on your behalf, and will work to protect your rights.
How are your fees structured?
Our fees are based on the complexity of the case and the anticipated time commitment. We offer transparent pricing and will discuss all fees during the initial consultation. Payment plans may be available depending on your situation. Our priority is to provide affordable and effective defense services.
When should I contact a defense attorney?
Contact a defense attorney as soon as you are aware of an investigation or charges against you. The earlier an attorney is involved, the better they can prepare your defense. Early involvement also helps protect your rights during investigations and hearings.
