Big Firm Skills, Small Firm Warmth and Attention

As an Oxford graduate Attorney and a GC for the past 2 decades, I can honestly say I know about lawyers. I have kissed a lot of frogs, some even charge at $1100.00 per hour. Andrew has outshined all of them, in skills, dedication, integrity, fearlessness and business acumen. I have worked with Andrew... for the past 8 years, and I choose Andrew to lead in our company's upcoming $100M case...

I couldn't have chosen a better attorney than Andrew Smith

I couldn't have found a better attorney than Andrew Smith. He was so knowledgeable and precise in the the employment matter of the case I brought to him. He is diligent, respectful, prompt and my case went so seemlessly. He knows the law and gets things done! I am thankful to him!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
