Randy Hicks We hired this man to do an adult adoption fir our foster son, now 42 years old. I co at red Randy and was so happy to hear a one time total fee and that it would be very simple. Due to no adoption judge fir a bit and having substitute judge delayed this fir a short time and the final court date was on line and not in person but it all went well and quick. I would recommend Randy to anyone who is considering an adult adoption. No Messi g around with unnecessary paperwork. Thank you Randy from the bottom of our hearts. We are a very happy and complete family now:-) read more

Randy was amazing to work with! From the very start, he was transparent about the entire adoption process and charged a reasonable rate for his services. Randy clearly cares so much about the work he does and his clients. I would highly recommend him for anyone seeking an adult adoption! read more

I cannot tell you how WONDERFUL this attorney is! I wish I could give him 10 stars! Our situation was somewhat unique - my fiance' wanted to adopt my adult daughter so technically was not a "stepparent adoption". I happened upon his ad, and gave him a call. He got back to us quickly, explained EVERYTHING thoroughly. His rates are truly the BEST around! He is very knowledgable in adoption law, but made sure we understood everything. On the day of our adoption, even in the face of the emerging Covid-19, he honored our request to finalize our adoption in person! He came, and I believe we may have been the only case seen in person that day! He even had brought us a lovely framed adoption certificate! This man has a heart of gold, and is an excellent, very seasoned attorney! I recommend him to absolutely anyone who needs an adoption attorney. Thank you Mr. Hicks, our family is almost whole - our marriage is planned for when this pandemic is over! read more

I couldn't be more thankful for Randy! After having worked with an attorney in past and having a bad experience he was such a breath of fresh air! He was professional, knowledgeable, and has mastered the art of making the adoption process as smooth as can be. We considered doing the process on our own but with the overwhelming amount of paperwork and the process itself we were so glad that we used Randy! He made the process so easy. We also loved that he had a set rate for the whole process. With the last attorney we worked with for family law we were quoted $5k and ended up paying $10k...and once you start you are stuck using that attorney. It was so nice not having to worry about being charged for phone calls or faxes or silly little things. Thanks Randy for helping make my husband a "Forever Daddy." You have made our family complete!! You are the best!! Erin read more

I cannot say enough good things about Randy and his services. When my daughter stated she wanted her stepdad to adopt her at age 17, we knew we did not have any time to waste if we wanted to do it before her 18th birthday. We researched doing it on our own, but we wanted to make sure not to overlook anything. My husband being active military, we are Texas residents living in California. My daughter's father also lived out of state, and we thought it might be a challenge, since we had not physically seen him in several years. We actually called a different firm initially, but after many unreturned phone calls and a no-show on a confirmed phone appointment, we became a little discouraged. Eventually, we stumbled upon Randy's website. We filled out the questionnaire and he literally called us the next morning (which happened to be Saturday, by the way). Randy is a wealth of knowledge. He gave us options and a great price for services. He offered a flat fee well within reason. Aside from being professional, reliable and quick to respond, he is warm and personable. From the time we set things in motion, two and a half months later, we were at the courthouse. If you are unsure where to turn for adoption services. Look no further. Randy is the best. read more

This review is long overdue. We utilized Randys services for a step parent adoption here in San Diego CA. Randy was very knowledgeable and made the process extremely easy (if anyone has dealt w court paperwork - you know it might as well be written in a foreign language... and that's if you can figure out which forms to fill out in the first place) The cost was reasonable and the process was a little under 3 months - and that included all background checks and social worker interviews. Thank you Randy read more

Randy help me and my wife so much on adopting our daughter. He is by far the best honest trustworthy adoption lawyer there is. I have called around and done my research and nobody comes as close as he does to being the most helpful. If you're wanting to adopt he's the man to see read more

Our adoption is granted and it was quick, smooth and with the help of Mr. Hicks representation easier than anticipated. I found him online and even his website is fabulous, it almost answers every question you have. I filled out his questionaire and he replied within 24hours. He was quick to send paperwork and the case was started. Mr. Hicks guided us every step of the way and he was willing to communicate via email, responding quickly, which really simplified things. We were always a family, however, Mr. Hicks helped make it legal when my son was 16. He celebrated his 17th birthday with new last name and has never been happier. I put off doing this for so many years because I thought it would be hard to do on own, expensive to hire attorney and I was scared. Mr. Hicks made it easy, his fee is beyond reasonable and my fear turned into tears of happiness the day the judge granted our adoption. Mr. Hicks is kind, honest and a person we are forever grateful to. read more

Randall Hicks is the most professional, courteous, knowledgeable and efficient attorney I have ever met. He was the perfect person for this matter. From day one he walked us through what we were to expect, set our expectations and followed through perfectly with everything. I was nervous about initiating this whole process expecting it to be so confusing and laborious, but Randy made it so pleasant and easy and for that I am grateful. If anyone is looking for an adoption attorney, then look no further than Randall Hicks! read more

I can't thank Randall Hicks enough for making our adoption process as smooth and seamless as possible. From the beginning, he lays out the entire process, options, timing, expectations, etc in such a detailed manner that your left with little to no questions. He's punctual and always quick to respond. The adoption process can be very lengthy, but he managed to get our process completed in less than 3 months. It would have been even faster if our investigative interviews weren't delayed (which is not in Randall's control). Last, he's great with kids and if I had to go through the process all over again, I wouldn't think twice about hiring him again. read more

Amazing lawyer! As many may know, adoption is never easy, no matter the circumstances. However, when a step parent is trying to adopt a step child with an absent parent, it even more difficult trying to get all parties to agree on what is in the best interest of the child. Our lawyer, Randall Hicks aka Randy, made our stepparent adoption process so easy. He always communicated clearly, whether it was good or bad news, and made us remember the reason we were doing what we were doing. Throughout the entire process, I had so much anxiety, but Randy had a way of lessening this anxiety and doing everything within his power to ensure I remained in high spirits. He is such an amazing lawyer, with many, many years of experience! After a few months of paper work and a lot of sleepless nights (this was definitely no fault of Randy), I now have my FOREVER family, and my husband was able to successfully adopt OUR daughter! Thank you so much Randy for you all you do for families like ours! read more
