Valued by his clients, and respected by opposing counsel, Randy Michel brings a wealth of experience to the practice of law. With over thirty years as a lawyer, judge and mediator, his legal background is complete. But he is more than an experienced attorney; he is a highly decorated former U. S. Air Force Captain of unquestionable courage and toughness.
As a young military officer, Michel was awarded the Air Force Commendation Medal and an Oak Leaf Cluster for heroism on the Arctic Circle. The courtroom can be intimidating and it is important to have an attorney who will advocate your position with courage and tenacity. Randy Michel is that attorney.
A civil trial has at least three professional participants: the plaintiff's attorney, the defendant's attorney, and the judge. Randy Michel has considerable experience in each of these three crucial roles. Unlike most of his peers, his seven-year experience as a judge affords him a unique perspective. When Michel enters the courtroom he can get into the mind of both the opposing attorney and the judge; he knows what persuades and what alienates; he knows how to win.
Michel was certified as a mediator in 1991. Often, even difficult disagreements can be resolved through mediation, resolved more quickly and with considerably less expense and frustration than at trial. Again, his experience allows Michel to get into the mind of the mediator to effect a favorable outcome.
