Paragas Law Offices

"I'm pretty sure you're supposed to get "all" evidence authenticated before you accuse someone and just tell them they said or wrote it. I'm pretty sure using Facebook post without authentication because anyone can make a fake page and pretend to be a person is considered hearsay until properly verified. I'm pretty sure this attorney didn't authenticate anything. It's OK because prosecutor is looking into all of it. Detectives and prosecutors have all my evidence. I can't stand when people don't follow the law. I see why he has so many bad reviews and criminal charges of his own. How is he still in practice? Never trust an attorney who has "connections" that's why I hire out of state because that favor system is a crooks move. Can't get no favors from a person you don't know."

"I filed against Paragas via the Office of Councel for Discipline of the Nebraska Supreme Court as of June 15th. I encourage anyone else who’s had issues with this individual to do the same or if has, follow up. He needs to NOT practice law no longer. -Im still waiting for my refund Randy- STAY AWAY / ABSOLUTELY UNPROFESSIONAL!!!! I unfortunately had to mark one star to leave a review and wouldn’t even give this “law office” that. I hired Mr. Paragas to help with my mother’s estate matters after her passing two months ago (January). NOTHING was not done as said at time of hire and after paying $3000.00. His lack of working in a timely manner (as promised) led to even more turmoil from end of January to now with not one thing being addressed properly or as said verbatim by him IE: collection of mother’s items, proper paperwork being filed/forwarded and estate still being jeopardized. When attempting to reach out being proactive - there was ZERO COMMUNICATION on his and his firm’s part(s). And if there was, no follow through. When able to reach he was out of town or “in court”. Not only have I lost my mother but a 1/3 of inheritance /possibly more because the job was hardly attempted and definitely NOT FOLLOWED THROUGH. I highly recommend anyone else who has encountered the same issues file a complaint via Nebraska BAR Association. SAD STATE OF AFFAIRS"

"Randy Paragas is a very professional attorney and a man of his word. He represented me and completed what he said he would do. He is a fair and honest person. Would highly recommend him. We appreciated everything he had done along with his knowledge and professionalism."

"Randy has been a life saver to our family. He has never let us down through out the years. I’m not one to trust any Lawyer but Randy is different. Never does he judge someone for their mistakes. I’ve personally been outside the judges chambers and listened to his conversation with the prosecutor and judge and he said exactly to them what he had told me he was going to do. He was not aware that I was outside listening either. You won’t find another lawyer that is more loyal and down to earth like Mr. Paragas. He is constantly answers my questions very forward, no matter the time day or night. Top it off he doesn’t tack my questions onto my bill. He also is not afraid to take anything to trial which I love. He will face anything and if he feels he is not the best lawyer for you he is man enough to tell you and refer you to someone else. I hired him when my best friend was looking at life and Randy got him 8 months! He’s good real good! Meet with him once and you will see for yourself or if in jail ask around others will tell you the same!"

"Randy Paragas is not only THE WORST attorney, but the worst professional I've ever had a chance to work with in my life!!! He did absolutely NOTHING for the case! Representing yourself is a better alternative- and a much cheaper one (although I would recommend hiring a GOOD attorney- just not this one). During the first meeting he promised to review the recording, work out a deal with the prosecutor, said how well connected he is, and how he can choose which one of his friends (yeah, right) will be the Judge. He also said he can "arrange" for the Court ordered AA meetings/treatment to be one of those "Oh, if you can't make it to one, then my guy will just write it up as if you were there." (is that even legal??). Finally, he was referring to the "favor basket" he had with the prosecutors. What a joke! Mr. Paragas made a lot of promises, yet delivered NONE, except extending the Court date half a dozen times. In some cases, his secretary would call the morning of the trial and say they will reschedule (apparently your days off from work are not important). His fee was twice or three times the amount of other reputable attorneys in Omaha, and falling for his "sales pitch" was a mistake. After a while it was very clear that he says THE EXACT SAME STORY to every single client and is highly unfamiliar with the individual case. He is one of the best liars I have ever met. Finally, he will NOT do ANYTHING to prepare you for the Court, nor will he keep you in the loop of what is going on with the case. You will only get a letter in the mail with the court date and time. He was upset if we reached out asking what is happening with the case and implied that we are one of those difficult clients. He showed up 30 minutes late for the Court and the sentence was harsher than the harshest option he said could happen. I received 30 days in jail, 2 year probation and $1,300 fee for a second DUI (the first was 5 years ago). And might I say that he had the exact same charge in 2011 and received only a probation and $600 fine. The bottom line is: STAY AWAY from this attorney! He will waste your time and money, and most of all he will not care one bit about what happens to you. I am not sure if he can sleep at night, considering how careless he is with other people's lives."
