Randolph Critzer, Jr.

"I am a firm believer in the idea that the Law gives us the tools to solve almost any problem, if we have the experience and creativity to utilize them. My understanding of those tools – and willingness to think about them in new ways – helps me deliver results for my clients."

Randy routinely practices in state and federal court, where he drafts and argues motions and tries cases to verdict in both bench and jury trials. Randy also offers advice to both public and private clients on matters related to policy and litigation.

Prior to joining Hirschler, Randy practiced at a mid-sized firm in Richmond, Virginia, and prior to that he served in the Office of the Attorney General of Virginia where he practiced as an Assistant Attorney General in the Civil Litigation Division. After graduating from law school, he began his practice clerking for the Honorable John M. Tran in the Fairfax Circuit Court.

While earning his law degree from the Marshall-Wythe School of Law at the College of William and Mary, Randy was a D.C. Runner-up for the Thomas Tang National Moot Court Competition, and a D.C. Finalist in the ABA National Appellate Advocacy Competition.
