Professional attorney

I hired Mr. Muchmore to handle a complex and difficult appeal related to a construction case and I’m completely satisfied with his service. He’s honest , intelligent and sincere. He did exactly what he promised and I will recommend him and his firm to anyone in need of an intelligent attorney.

Very Thoughtful Corp-to-Corp Contract Review

On several occasions Mr. Muchmore provided me with stellar contract analysis and strategy. He performed these services with both a customer-vendor contract and a client-agent contract. Truly, he's one of the more thoughtful and intelligent attorneys I have met; I am thereby fortunate to have worke...d with him. He is—and will remain—my goto starting point for legal services.

Lawyer of choice

Mr. Muchmore has been the attorney for the non-profit where I work for a year now. He has drafted our contracts, helped us resolve disputes and advised us on legal compliance issues during our national expansion. He has been a pleasure to work with; he responds to our questions and needs within the h...our and is timely with all matters. He is also practical, forever providing fair and just advise, which often leads to a better outcome than expected for both sides. With his competency, he is truly the scholarly lawyer you want to work with.

Litigation lawyer | Nov 06

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"Andrew is one of the finest attorneys I have had the pleasure of knowing and working for in my professional life. Andrew is highly intelligent and detail oriented. He vigorously pursues the rights of his clients, and defends them with equal zeal. Andrew wastes no time getting to the heart of the matter and ensures that his clients are paying only for work that will directly benefit their case. He ensures that the other attorneys working with him do the same. Few lawyers excel, as Andrew does, with the variety of cases he takes, and the novel issues those cases present. Outside of the courtroom, Andrew is a skilled and wise counselor and understands complex transactions and financial deals. If you need a top-notch advocate, I would not hesitate to hire Andrew Muchmore."
