Why Choose Randall & Stump?

If you're under federal investigation in the Western District of North Carolina, or you're facing a serious state felony charge in Mecklenburg County, this is one of the few Charlotte firms with the trial bench and federal sentencing experience to match. Randall & Stump treats criminal defense like the high-stakes work it is — they prepare every case as if it could go to trial, which often produces better plea offers from the U.S. Attorney's Office or the local DA. They also run a thoughtful first-offense DWI practice. Honest counsel, clear fee structure, and they pick up the phone after hours when most firms won't.

Client Experiences

What Clients Say

Client
Marcus R.
Federal Drug Case · WDNC
★★★★★
“I was the named target of a federal indictment. Sam Randall walked me through the discovery, filed the right pre-trial motions, and negotiated a sentence dramatically lower than the guideline range. He never sugarcoated anything.”
Client
Lauren H.
First-Offense DWI · Mecklenburg
★★★★★
“First DWI of my life and I was terrified. They got the breath test result challenged on a procedural issue and the charge dismissed. Communication was constant and clear the entire time.”
Client
Jamal K.
Assault Charge · Charlotte
★★★★★
“Self-defense case the DA initially refused to consider. Randall & Stump gathered the surveillance footage and witness statements that finally got the charges reduced and then dismissed.”
