“How do I begin my statement, its a hard choice. As Randy Ai law firm has done an amazing job handling my dispute with my previous lawyer.
I had the amazing pleasure of having Sentil Thomson handle my case. I can say with absolute conviction that he not only goes above and beyond. But genuinely cares for his client and their well being.
This wasn’t about just the monetary value for me and my family. But more about principle… Sentil not only felt the same way, but ensured that opposing counsel also knew this.
He fought along side me with for me what is eighteen months now. Too which we came out victorious.
I want to thank Sentil Thomson for all his amazing work and dedication through these past eight months, as well as dealing with me as a client, which I know would not have been easy, as I can be argumentative and down right stubborn.”
