Randy Crownover

I hired randy for a 3rd degree tampering with evidence. We agreed to go for a plea that would keep me out of prison. Nothing specific I just wanted him to make sure it was within reason and I told him I might can live with 5 years but I was really shooting for less than that. He agreed to also put it off for about a year. So three months later I go to court and the first thing he did was explain how awful my criminal history was. Granted it’s extensive but it’s basically a lot of marijuana misdemeanors with a poss of con sub 3rd degree from 2002 and an out of state dui from 2007. Let me also state that my tampering charge was basically a glorified misdemeanor considering that said evidence was approximately 2 grams of marijuana…well after the long winded spill about my terrible criminal history he finally came with the deal 6 years probation. I was not happy with that one single bit and when he could sense that I wasn’t gonna accept it he threatened to withdraw as my attorney. I really wish I would’ve spoke up in court but like the other review stated Randy is a master at scaring the crap out of you and can make you feel so bewildered that you just want to scream. And that is how I ended up getting completely screwed by this man for 6000 dollars. I doubt he wasted more than 5 hours of actual work on the case. I’m not well versed in what is ethical and unethical or illegal when it come to attorney client relations but his practices are unethical to be certain and I suspect maybe even criminal. I came to seriously loathe this man and I feel for ANYONE that enters his office. I am thoroughly convinced that he also had that 3rd degree felony enhanced to 2nd degree punishment range also because when I first consulted him he told me that I surely would be facing enhancement and lo and behold after a couple of weeks he informed me that I had in fact been enhanced. Please avoid this man at all costs

Randy crownover represented me as a public defender in Taylor county. He made it impossible for me to make sound decisions because he constantly lied about everything! He arranged a plea agreement for 10 years deferred adjudicated probation but neglected to inform me that if I violated the probation the range of punishment would fall under a habitual attachment! I went back in front of the judge and explained to him that my attorney had misled me and that I wanted to have a trial and abort the plea. Randy actually fought against me in open court and the judge refused my motion.I was within the 30 day timeline and should have been allowed to remove my plea and have a trial but randy thwarted my motion. He does the prosecution's job and he does it well. He weaves this illusory web of lies around you that makes you feel as if your losing your mind. You have no idea what's true and once your disoriented he goes in for the kill. He is bad news and I'm going to let everyone know it so that they won't be subjected to him like I was
