This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Not recommend

Hiring this lawyer was a big mistake. He presents himself as nice and professional, which leads you to believe that he will help you with the divorce process, but he only cares about the money. He bills you when he reschedules court dates for personal reasons and has overcharged rates—if he sends a q...uick email to the opposing lawyer that takes him three minutes, he will charge you for an hour. He frequently reschedules court dates, causing the divorce process to drag on for years instead of settling within a year. He also forgets previous conversations or emails that included agreements and then asks you again what you want, billing you once more for something you have already agreed upon.

Mislead me

Convinced me to pay him big money for a fight that couldn’t be won. All he cares about is money. Very little awareness of divorce law, my wife’s lawyer ate him alive every time! Avoid at all costs!!!

Notably, this was left anonymously and so I cannot comment specifically although I am certain I know the individual who left this review. All of my clients have a very close and personal relationship with me. We are in constant communication regarding the strengths and weaknesses every step of the way. The idea that a client would be end up in an "unwinnable" battle as a result of a misrepresentation from my firm is ridiculous.

The worst

Not to be trusted. Only cares about money. Will stab you in the back without notice. Do NOT hire this firm.

Although anonymous, I am sure that both the only two negative reviews in 20 years are from the same individual. This review/comment is patently false. We are obligated to give notice as per the Court rules, and have to make a formal motion to the Judge for permission to withdraw. Timely payment of our invoices is a condition of our representation and it is clearly stated in our Retainer Agreement. If our firm withdrew representation, it was done under Court supervision and, as such was ethical and proper.

Wholeheartedly Recommend

I hired Andreas to be my matrimonial lawyer in the summer of 2020. At that time, I was entangled in an extremely difficult divorce. The length of my marriage coupled with the fact that I had kids made the proceedings extremely difficult and challenging. On top of it all, I was thrust into a difficult... child custody battle. Without any hesitation Andreas took over my case, which by its nature it was an extremely difficult case. Having been years into a marriage, having kids and multiple properties and businesses involved under my name and that of my former spouse. You can understand the degree of difficulty of my case. No words can accurately describe the help and support that I received from Andreas during that difficult stage. Without Andreas’s expertise, I would not have had the successful outcomes that I’ve had. He is professional, efficient and personable. He is an experienced lawyer, and will always be a step ahead from your thinking and that of the other party. Andreas was successful in achieving and fulfilling all the objectives that we had set from the beginning. On top of all, Andreas encountered and solved issues that no one had expected to see! He has stood by me throughout this difficult process that lasted several months, and guided me through this lengthy process. Andreas is always available, no matter the time of the day. Anything you need, he will be there. Even if you contact him, and he is in a meeting. He will text you back to tell you that he is receipt of your communication. I am grateful that I was introduced to Andreas. He is the one that turned my life around and improved my situation in a such a challenging time period. He secured my parental rights as a father, he safeguarded my financial situation, and all my objectives were met. I wholeheartedly recommend Andreas.
