Patricia Dulinski, Divorce and separation Attorney
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
Andrew was my adversary in a recent divorce case and he was an absolute pleasure to work with. He is a consummate professional and extremely knowledgeable in family law. He is settlement focused but is not afraid to litigate should the situation call for it. He is very well liked and highly respected by our fellow matrimonial lawyers. Andrew is a true credit to our profession.
Anthony Della Pelle, Litigation Attorney
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Andy is an intelligent, practical and zealous advocate for his clients. I have referred him real estate and matrimonial matters for years and have universally received thanks and praise from the clients who have hired him to represent their interests. I recommend him highly.
