Outstanding Attorney

I can’t recommend Andrew Delaney highly enough! He is not just an exceptional attorney but an amazing human being. His knowledge of personal injury law is flawless, and I am eternally grateful for his expertise and aplomb in settling my case. It takes a great strategist to negotiate with insurance co...mpanies, but more than that, it requires integrity. Andy is a straight shooter through and through. He is the most responsive lawyer I’ve ever worked with, gets back to you immediately, listens to all your concerns, and explains things in plain English. The bottom line is that Andy really cares about his clients, gets to know you personally, and has a great sense of humor, which goes a long way when you are injured and suffering. I’d hire him again in a heartbeat.

SO HELPFUL!

I contacted Andrew's firm blindly, with a very specific and international request, thinking I would probably get nothing back. Andrew picked up my request, and took the time to help me find several lawyers to contact in Italy. Yup, Italy. Without ever meeting me or getting my business, Thank you a...gain Andrew!

Excellent negotiator

Andrew filled in for us when our regular attorney couldn't help us on the date of our small claims hearing. As the date of the hearing approached, I realized that I was too uncomfortable with the idea of going to court and asked Andrew if he could switch gears and help us settle instead. Despite th...e fact that he was amidst working on another trial, he was amenable to shifting gears last minute. He worked after regular hours to negotiate a settlement that was exactly the amount I was willing to pay to avoid the process of court. He transcended discussions of blame/right vs. wrong and just talked money. This was exactly the strategy that was needed and we were able to settle for less than the cost of going to trial. He seemed to intuitively understand the psyche of our accuser and how to handle him to procure our desired outcome. If you want a savvy, strategically-minded attorney who is also empathic and caring, I would absolutely tell you to hire Andrew Delaney.

As Good as it Gets

I met Andrew through a chance meeting more than 10 years ago. I had a complex legal issue at the time and he successfully assisted me where other lawyers had turned me away. Since then, my family and I have hired Andy in two additional legal actions: One involved a family court issue with my neur...otic ex-wife (and her highly litigious lawyer) that Andy successfully defused without having to go to court. (thankfully because going to court is expensive). The other action involved a car crash caused by the other drive that severely injured my wife. Andy negotiated the max amount of money that the other driver's insurance company could legally pay. Andy also negotiated a significant reduction in what was owed to the medical insurance people too. This allowed her to keep most of the settlement money for her injuries. In my experience, most lawyers are anxious to take legal matters to court because that's where they make most of their money, not Andy. He is always conscious of his client's finances first. He is truly a master negotiator and views using the court system as a last resort and only if the opposing party is acting unreasonable. I can't recommend him highly enough. If I had anything negative to say about Andy it's about the way he dresses. I can't say that I have ever seen him in anything other than a three-piece suit. It may be overkill for little ole' Vermont. But if you're only gripe with your lawyer is that he dresses too nice, you know you have a GREAT lawyer!

"Andrew Delaney will listen to your story and will communicate that story to those who need to hear it for you to attain justice. Andrew is also a very fine nuts-and-bolts lawyer who excels in understanding court procedure, how to prepare for trial and how to win on appeal, if necessary. It is his capacity as a loving, caring and thoughtful human being, however, which truly separates him and puts him in a class above other attorneys. I heartily recommend him to you should you need an attorney to guide you in your time of need."
