The Law Offices of Randolph C. Houts
Attorney at Law
Primary Practice Areas:
Here is a list of the areas in which Mr. Houts most often practices. Some clients seek Mr. Houts out for unusual legal matters because he sees his role as an attorney as that of a problem-solver, not necessarily a lawsuit-maker. Sometimes, you just have to use the courts, but we willl try to find a solution that doesn't involve giving the decision over to a third party, like a judge or a jury, if we can avoid it.
