WHO WE ARE
In 2015, attorney Randall Udelman and Dan Levey founded the non-profit Arizona Crime Victim Rights Law Group. In addition to serving victims, members of the Arizona Crime Victim Rights Law Group are also available to criminal justice agencies for victim rights training and educational presentations.
RANDALL UDELMAN
CO-FOUNDER
Randall Udelman, a practicing attorney for almost 30 years, has been providing crime victims with legal services as counsel of record at no cost to them since 2009.
Randall has extensive experience helping clients seek accountability for harm. His private practice focuses on disputes involving insurance carriers and commercial litigation. He has represented victims of crime, consumers who have suffered harm due to fraud, and victims who have suffered bodily injury or property damage.
Randall has been a past recipient of the Arizona Attorney General’s Office Distinguished Service Award, is an advisory board member with the National Crime Victim Law Institute, a member of the National Alliance of Victim’s Rights Attorneys & Advocates, and a former member of the National Crime Victim Bar Association.
Several years ago, Randall first represented a victim of a brutal shooting involving permanent injuries, trauma, multiple trials, appeals and numerous legal issues requiring legal assistance. Victims of crime come in all shapes and sizes and involve violent crime, white collar crime and property loss. Since this first case, Randall has worked to ensure that crime victims are not treated as evidence and instead are treated with fairness, dignity and respect throughout the criminal prosecution process.
