Derek Andrews is an attorney who is extremely serious about his craft. He has successfully transferred his diverse litigation background, into one focused exclusively on DWI Defense, and he has become a better attorney for having done so. His focus has served him well and made him a very capable DWI Defense Attorney, and one I'm proud to say works along side of me at Anelli Xavier.

I've been fortunate enough to know Derek both as a colleague and a great friend. As an attorney, his thoroughness and attention to subtle/complex legal arguments is matched by none. His thorough preparation, when coupled with his comprehensive knowledge of present DWI law, helps to ensure that his clients are afforded the best possible legal defense. Lastly, Derek's ability to explain complex legal terminology and case law in an easily understandable fashion ensures that his clients are kept informed and up to date while he advocates on their behalf.
