Randy Sue Pollock | Oakland Criminal Lawyer

FAQ

What are the top legal services your firm provides?
Top legal services: In-depth, committed one-on-one legal representation. The individuals I represent are not just a file. I care about my clients and am totally focused on helping them and providing unlimited support to them.

What is your approach or philosophy when representing a client?
I am dedicated to vigorously providing competent and thorough representation to my clients. I stay in contact with my clients and promptly respond to phone calls/e-mails and advise them of all updates in their case. I discuss all reports, strategies and objectives with them. Each client is treated with respect and courtesy and our communications are totally confidential. My fees are reasonable and I take into consideration an individual's abilities as well as my expertise.

How do you keep current on new information pertaining to your specialty?
I keep current by daily reading cases that have been published locally, in California, and throughout the U.S. I also attend legal seminars and am involved in organizing legal seminars for lawyers.

I was the only attorney to secure a not guilty verdict in a seven defendant RICO gang prosecution of the MS13 in federal court. Not only did my client get out of federal custody where he had been for three years, but I secured his release from immigration custody, found him housing, counseling and employment. Recently I proved that a police officer lied in obtaining a search warrant. All charges were dismissed. Also, recently I convinced the U.S.Attorney's Office in Tampa, Florida that my client in Northern California was not involved in a marajuna distribution ring operating from Redding, CA. I also had vehicluar charges dismissed against a nurse whose passenger was killed in an auto accient. Then I had her criminal record sealed.

I have built a successful practice by being responsive to each of my clients and caring about their well-being and obtaining a successful result in their case.

Clients should not fall for a "fast sale". They should like the client, ask about their track record and feel comfortable with them.

Local knowledge is important but with my years of experience I can successfully handle cases in all courts nationally and in this state.

I want to know where a case is (what court); the status of the case (first appearance?) is the client in/out of custody; any record and can they afford legal representation.

I have extensive federal and state experience. I can successfully try case and I also know the ""art of negotiation"". Prosecutors respect and like me as a person. I stay in constant contact with clients during their case, while they may be in prison or on probation and thereafter. Many of my clients are my friends.

The most rewarding aspect is helping people who unfortunately find themselves in bad situations.

I am athletic and enjoy jogging and reading.

I am a member of the American Jewish Committee and active on their Board of Governors. I am also on the Federal Rules and Practice Committee for U.S. District Court and on the Executive Committee for Criminal Practice of the SF Bar Association. I am also a member of several criminal law organizations. I was on the Board of Governors of California Attorneys for Criminal Justice for over 20 years and organized all of their legal seminars for that period.
