  • State Criminal Defense

Most Unusual “The Butler Did It” Case
Mr. Randolph won an acquittal for a Swedish butler who was accused of removing an Old Masters painting from its frame and replacing it with a photograph. Mr. Randolph presented a successful defense, contending the butler “didn’t do it,” but was “framed” by his employer. The verdict came after a 5-week jury trial and was featured in Vanity Fair Magazine (December, 1988).  This case marked the first and only career loss for LAPD’s acclaimed art theft detective. 

  • Federal Criminal Defense

World’s Most  Famous Computer Hacker Kevin Mitnick
Pioneer computer hacker Kevin Mitnick became a “folk hero,” eluding capture for years before his arrest.  Mr. Randolph took over the defense and eventually negotiated a sentence of “time served” and restitution of $4,000, even though the government claimed hundreds of millions in damages. Mitnick currently travels the globe as a computer security consultant.

World’s Biggest Savings & Loan Fraud Case 
Mr. Randolph was an integral member of the joint defense team representing Charles Keating and his senior staff at Lincoln Savings & Loan.  The U.S. eventually paid $3 billion to depositors and aggressively pursued multiple federal and state prosecutions against Lincoln's senior staff.  Mr. Randolph represented Keating’s second-in-command and negotiated a sentence of straight probation.

  • Civil Litigation

Randolph & Associates represents both businesses and individuals in bringing and defending a variety of civil claims, including breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, real estate litigation, insurance bad faith and unfair business practices.

  • Personal Injury

Wrongful Death
In a recent case involving a major art museum, Mr. Randolph represented a worker who was fatally injured by defective machinery.  The result was a substantial settlement.  Other personal injury settlements and judgments have involved construction accidents, equipment failures, and motor vehicle accidents.
