*Champion of the EEO Process*
“I was born in British Guyana and survived two civil wars before I was 6 years old and immigrated to Brooklyn, NY. At that time, 'heroin reigned' so I had to learn to survive in a new kind of war. When I grew older, I learned to defeat and survive many wars against unlawful discrimination.”
Randy has worked in Civil Rights for over 30 years, managing the EEO discrimination complaint process at every level from informal complaints, counseling, mediation, investigations, and up to rendering final Case Decisions. He served as Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Southern Regional Civil Rights Manager and was former Departmental Office of Civil Rights (DOCR) Regional Director. During his time, he was awarded the Secretary of Transportation's Gold Medal Award, Secretary's Award for Meritorious Achievement (Silver Medal), C. Alfred "Chief" Anderson Award and more…making him one of the highest decorated Civil Rights/EEO Officers in the history of both Department of Transportation (DOT) and the FAA.
“Throughout those years, I saw an endless line of people, thousands, who just wanted to go to work and contribute to their organization but, instead they felt abused, bullied, cheated, and basically mugged in their workplace. Many people actually had legitimate claims. They believed they were telling the truth to the best of their knowledge, so they filed their EEO complaints. Yet most, almost all, never succeeded in obtaining any redress or resolution. Instead, they lost time, money, and basically suffered in the EEO process for years, with nothing to show except possibly legal fees. This is because they did not know how develop and present their cases.”
Discrimination remains institutionalized and is widespread throughout the private, public, & federal sectors, and the U.S. military. Despite Civil Rights and EEO laws and processes, the achievement of Civil Rights Justice is extremely difficult. Randy has effective knowledge in understanding discrimination cases and implementing successful strategies in the EEO discrimination complaint process, in all private, public, & federal sectors, and military. He understands the pain of unlawful discrimination and the difficulties it can take to filing and presenting a successful discrimination complaint.
“Over the years, I have seen inhumanity in many forms, perpetrated by humans of all demographics. I see people by the 'content of their character' rather than their demographics and to fight for what matters most—human rights. As a National Civil Rights Expert, I help others defeat and survive their wars against unlawful discrimination where ignorance and intolerance often reign in the workplace. I am merely God's Servant trying to make a positive difference.”

I highly recommend Randy, as your legal representative! Randy is extremely knowledgeable, professional, patient and very savvy. Randy makes you feel comfortable during the most uncomfortable time in your life. He did an excellent job in representing my case from beginning to end.

When the individuals within the agency saw that Randy was my legal representative, they treated my case with a sense of urgency. I couldn’t have found a better person.

I have known Randy Williams for over 30 years. We became acquaintances through the Federal EEO Program, as Randy was an EEO Specialist and I was an activist for EEO. In our initial conversations, it became clear that Randy was very well versed in the Equal Employment Opportunity process and had a zest for equality in the federal sector. As Randy and I progressed through our respective careers, we often spoke about the proliferation of bias throughout the country. Randy continues to be 100% committed to the elimination of all discrimination in the workplace. I highly recommend he and his company to anyone who believes they are experiencing disparate treatment on the job.

I have had the distinct pleasure of both a personal and professional relationship with Randy Williams for over 25 years, working together in numerous capacities. Randy is the type of thought leader you want to go into battle with. He is intelligent, strategic and masterful in his craft. More importantly, Randy lives by a strong code of honor and integrity above all else. Where others may settle for the path of least resistance, Randy chooses the road less traveled and prioritizes his client's best interest at all costs. I am supremely selective in my endorsements, but I could not offer higher praise or recommendation. My advice is to make this a simple decision and look no further than Randy Williams.

I have had the pleasure of working with Randy Williams for 12 years in the field of Title VII litigation. In fact, Randy guided me through my very first employment discrimination case, for which my client has collected over $1 million in settlement benefits. Randy's unique knowledge of Federal Sector politics and agency operational mechanics makes him an invaluable resource. But I believe his most enduring qualities are his patience, empathy, and willingness to listen. Randy is as smart as they come. He is the consummate team-player, and I am truly honored to call him my colleague and my friend.

I had the privilege and esteem honor to meet Mr. Williams and to utilize his expertise. Mr. Williams came into my professional circle like a knight in shining armor.

- Mark C. -
I was the victim of unlawful age discrimination by the Federal Aviation Administration. I was not sure what actions to take, so I turned to Randy. He became my official representative and guided me through the EEO process. Randy told me that you experience harm in two ways, one when the discriminatory act occurs and secondly by the unfairness of the EEO process.
Randy’s knowledge about the EEO process was invaluable to me ultimately winning my case. He was present and engaged throughout every step of the process. In the end, my case had to heard within the federal court to be resolved, but in order to do that I had to navigate the EEO process and without Randy’s knowledge I would have been unsuccessful. Randy’s passion and experience are undeniable, and I highly recommend his services.

Randy was one of the best decisions I have made in my life! A friend referred me to him, even though I thought I knew the EEO process and could handle it on my own. I was very skeptical, but Randy reassured me several times that what I knew of mediation would be different. An hour before our mediation, we received an email stating the agency’s investigation would be completed in less than three weeks. I wanted to pull out then to let the investigation begin, but Randy stated we should continue with mediation and if it didn’t turn out like we expected, then we’d move into the investigation.
I was nervous and believed nothing would change, yet to my BIGGEST surprise, Randy was like a Godsend during my mediation. He knew what I wanted to say and expressed everything I was feeling. He was my King and my protector during the mediation and let all my superiors know— I am a valued employee and what happened to me for two years was unacceptable and it needed to stop now! In the end, we came to an agreement that was favorable for all of us! If you are looking for someone to shine for you, to protect you, and who will always be there for you, RMW can also be your Godsend!!

Although a seasoned professional, I had no idea where to turn or how to proceed in an EEO claim against DOT. A friend recommended Randy and he was a godsend. He shepherded me through the process step-by-step. He explained, coached, encouraged, and ultimately helped me to be successful in my claim. The sigh of relief I have today is because of the work that Randy did on my behalf.

Randy Williams showed me wisdom in helping me navigate a challenging and emotionally charged situation. He listened with compassion and provided expert guidance on the law. Randy brings a keen understanding of individual and organizational behavior. His insights and advice on how best to set things onto a positive path were a true gift for me and my family. I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to work with Randy and would recommend him for anyone seeking reasonable and effective representation.

When I thought I had to go through my agency’s internal EEO process, it was definitely— the darkest time of my professional career. I thought I could handle it all by myself, because I thought my case was “solid”, but I couldn’t be more wrong. After eight months of running inside a maze, I met Mr. Williams. The first day, we spoke for hours and then I knew; I needed this guy in my corner, as my representative.
With his leadership & experience, Randy provided the light at the end of the tunnel that I was praying for. He put order and meaning into the bureaucratic process, finishing successfully. Mr. Williams will defend your rights with his mind and soul working together. As a professional that has lived through this just once and hopefully never again, I humbly advise you to team up with Mr. Randy Williams. Thank you very much for everything Randy!
