Child support/custody

Andrea is the best!! She's helped me with custody/child support. She is very knowledgeable , empathetic, and understanding. She shows compassion towards her clients and represents her cases with determination. She's awesome. I highly recommend!

Intelligent, Quick-Thinker, Well-Spoken, Down to Earth

I am so thankful that I had Andrea on my side as I went through the very difficult process of a very contentious divorce. Every divorce is unique and Andrea made sure she understood the laws around the issues that were unique to ours. She is very intelligent, thinks quickly, and presents her ideas co...ncisely... very important skills to have in the fast-paced courtroom where each side isn't given much time to speak. Andrea is also very down to earth, so I always felt like she understood where I was coming from when I talked with her. Divorce is obviously a highly emotional process and Andrea did a great job of helping me to separate my emotions from the laws that applied to my situation... that's not always an easy one to do! Thanks to Andrea's knowledge and negotiating skills, we were able to settle our divorce through mediation which felt like a miracle given how differently my ex and I felt about our issues. In the end, I feel that we agreed to a fair settlement and now we can move on with a reasonable plan in place. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Andrea... she'll fight hard for you and help you to put the stress behind you so you can move on to a happier place in life!

Amazing, caring, and best Lawyer

When I first spoke to Andrea I was lost and hopeless. She was straight forward with no sugar coating and that's exactly what I wanted. She set goals for me to achieve and coached me through the entire custody battle. When you're in a custody battle it can be emotional and it's easy to get overwhelmed..., she was like a friend, family and counselor all in one. It was a long fight but we were victorious and my son and I have never been happier. I highly recommend Andrea, she is prompt, knows her stuff and is ready to get it done. Thank you so much!

Amazing

Amazing human being. Very empathetic and down to earth but tough as nails! Also inexpensive. I don't think she does this for the money❤

Compassionate, Knowledgeable, Professional - the Best

Andrea was recommended to me, and after meeting her, I knew she was the lawyer I needed. She not only helped me combat the outlandish claims and nonsense of my son's mother, but I was able to keep my rights as a father, physically and legally. Throughout all this, Andrea was compassionate and... available to discuss the case, she was knowledgeable of how these custody matters worked and a consummate professional. I highly recommend her.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
