Paragas Law Offices

Randy Paragas is not only THE WORST attorney, but the worst professional I've ever had a chance to work with in my life!!! He did absolutely NOTHING for the case! Representing yourself is a better alternative- and a much cheaper one (although I would recommend hiring a GOOD attorney- just not this one).

During the first meeting he promised to review the recording, work out a deal with the prosecutor, said how well connected he is, and how he can choose which one of his friends (yeah, right) will be the Judge. He also said he can "arrange" for the Court ordered AA meetings/treatment to be one of those "Oh, if you can't make it to one, then my guy will just write it up as if you were there." (is that even legal??). Finally, he was referring to the "favor basket" he had with the prosecutors. What a joke!

Mr. Paragas made a lot of promises, yet delivered NONE, except extending the Court date half a dozen times. In some cases, his secretary would call the morning of the trial and say they will reschedule (apparently your days off from work are not important). His fee was twice or three times the amount of other reputable attorneys in Omaha, and falling for his "sales pitch" was a mistake. After a while it was very clear that he says THE EXACT SAME STORY to every single client and is highly unfamiliar with the individual case. He is one of the best liars I have ever met.

Finally, he will NOT do ANYTHING to prepare you for the Court, nor will he keep you in the loop of what is going on with the case. You will only get a letter in the mail with the court date and time. He was upset if we reached out asking what is happening with the case and implied that we are one of those difficult clients. He showed up 30 minutes late for the Court and the sentence was harsher than the harshest option he said could happen. I received 30 days in jail, 2 year probation and $1,300 fee for a second DUI (the first was 5 years ago). And might I say that he had the exact same charge in 2011 and received only a probation and $600 fine.

The bottom line is: STAY AWAY from this attorney! He will waste your time and money, and most of all he will not care one bit about what happens to you. I am not sure if he can sleep at night, considering how careless he is with other people's lives.

Mr. Paragas helped me out during a very bad point in my life. His representation and advice was invaluable and I am very grateful for his services!

My wife and I have used Randy for several smaller traffic related matters and he did an outstanding job explaining the process and taking care of the details. We also utilized Randy for a more complex family law issue and he offered the guidance and information we needed to make some tough decisions.



Overall we were very happy with his services.
