Randall & Stump is one of Charlotte's go-to firms for serious criminal defense — particularly federal cases in the Western District of North Carolina. The firm handles everything from a first-offense DWI to multi-defendant federal indictments, drug conspiracy cases, and white-collar investigations. Founding partner Samuel J. Randall has built a reputation for trial-ready preparation and clear, honest counsel about the realities of federal sentencing.
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.
Most criminal defense matters are handled on a flat-fee basis. State misdemeanor DWIs typically start in the low thousands; serious felonies and federal indictments are higher and depend on whether the case proceeds to trial. Personal injury matters are handled on contingency. The firm provides clear written engagement terms before any work begins.
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
If you've been arrested or contacted by federal investigators, do not speak to anyone before contacting an attorney. The firm responds quickly.
