Andrew is an excellent lawyer! He is smart, communicative, honest, and handled my case with care. He explained everything about the process, the expectations, and timeline so I knew what to expect and helped obtain a favorable outcome. I highly recommend him.
"I have had the good fortune of knowing Andrew throughout law school and working with him regularly since then. In my opinion, he cares genuinely for his clients and does a wonderful job explaining steps of the legal process to his and our clients. He is a pleasure to work with and I would recommend his services without reservation."
"I endorse this lawyer. Andrew is very smart, a quick study, and well versed in many areas of the law. And a nice guy too."
