Mr. Hastings is the best attorney in NC. After a long string of six attorneys and numerous consultations in Cabarrus and Mecklenburg Counties, he is the only attorney who can handle my aggressive opposing Charlotte law firm. He is the "big guns" I need to settle my case. He is a master in his element and works his deposition like an art form to build an inpenetrable defense. He has patched the holes which other lawyers left open for attacks. He is assertive and speaks up in court where other attorneys sat silently and let me fall. I was cheering inside when his quick thinking and assertive performance in court sent opposers running from the stand. He has an intimidating court presence and tells you like it is but if you do everything he says and pay on time, he will be the weapon you need. He is the most affordable attorney in the Charlotte area because he and B.J. are an efficient team. Look no further. Mr. Hastings is the weapon we both need!
Mr. Hastings was very professional, direct and confident in the courtroom and he defended our case with ease. He let us know what to expect and how the process works with family law and child custody. I would hire his services again! 20 stars!
I found Mr Hastings to be a very impressive man, he was honest and forth right he didn't tell me what I wanted to hear he told me the facts. He was aggressive in his approach, in the end I was very happy with the results he acquired.
Mr. Hastings is a PHENOMENAL attorney! I had a very complicated divorce case involving equitable distribution of a family business. I initially hired a different attorney, but after realizing how difficult the opposing party was going to make things, and after numerous personal referrals, I pulled out the big guns and hired Mr. Hastings. Upon hiring him he immediately took the reigns and had a deposition scheduled within a week, and within a month we had made more headway than I had made in six months with the previous attorney. Mr. Hastings is a highly experienced, no non-sense attorney who knows how to get the job done to achieve the most positive results for his clients. Unlike many other attorneys, he will not waste your time by simply telling you what you want to hear, nor will he nickel and dime you for every little thing just to hike up your bill. He is very direct and does not sugar coat the truth. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

The Law Office of Randell Hastings is one based on being offensively arrogant and pompous. Reviews for my cases were conducted one hour prior to going to trial. There was no attempt to strategize or create a strategic plan. He does not listen to his clients nor does he care what you have to say. He is a very competent lawyer, and impressive in court, but zero customer service skills.
This has been a constant 3 year process. I'll call you back ,I'll have him call you back... Just nonstop BS .. If you don't have MONEY for something worth fighting for... Just DON'T!!!
He will tell you anything for you to pay him his money. His secretary does all his communication you can’t get him to contact you back. He preys on the weak and once he gets their money you barely hear from him unless it’s when he wants to.
Randell only cares about 2 things, himself and money!! He will tell you whatever lies he has to to get you to hire him. He falsified billing, was unprofessional, and is weak in the court room. He keeps conflict going instead helping resolve it for the best interest of children. His assistant is a nice lady, but operates out of fear of Randell.
Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.
The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.
Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page
Martindale Peer Reviews
Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.
The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.
What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*
• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.
• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.
• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.
Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.
Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
