The best

Andrew was able to help us get custody of our kids. They were in a house hold with an abusive stepfather and he was able to get us in for an emergency hearing within days of the abuse coming to light. From there he guided and helped us with the case and ultimately was successful. The kids are safe an...d will remain safe because of his hard work.

very unhappy client

I am a very unhappy client. I do not feel they gave my case the attention it deserved. I paid a high price and their performance did not meet my expectations. I regret hiring them.

Hi Doug, this isn't the feedback I usually hear and certainly isn't the opinion of service I strive to provide. Unfortunately, your case came up during an unprecedented time and COVID caused our office and the courts to shut down for quite some time. If there's something we can do to change your opinion of the firm, please let us know. Regardless, I wish you the best and I hope your case comes to a peaceful resolution.

Horrible Law Firm

I retained Andrew on a simple appeal and he had weeks to prepare. Apparently he was not prepared and had Daddy Throop call and verbally abuse and threaten me to drop the appeal - one day before possible withdrawal. I guess that's any easy manner to make few thousand. Do no consider this hostile fir...m. There is no explanation for this unethical and immoral conduct.

I'm sorry you feel this way. For your protection and out of respect, I cannot give away confidential information on a public forum. However, I was fully prepared. I don't lie to my clients, which means sometimes my advice is not what clients want to hear. This sometimes includes advice to withdraw an appeal. I no longer work at that law firm, but please let me know if there's anything I can do.

Better than I could've hoped for

Andrew was a professional every step of the way and was able to get my possession of marijuana charge dismissed @ trial. During the time before my trial he was timely in answering ALL my emails and tried to ease my anxiety the best he could. This wasn't my first charge so I was very thankful for what... he was able to get done.

We went to trial and won! Thanks for listening to my advice. It was a pleasure working with you.

Great lawyer

Andrews advice lead to my case charges being reduced. Realistically the best possible outcome! Easy to talk to, listened intently and very professional.
