Recommend Andrew H. Wood, Esq. for Separation/Divorce Representation

Andrew listened without judging, gave sound advice, and communicated effectively throughout the process. He showed empathy, kindness, and confidence. When working with Andrew and his team, you are not just a number. We worked together to come up with an agreement that was fair in my situation, and... if we needed to go to trial, I knew he had the knowledge, capability, and confidence to do so.

Custody

Very knowledgeable and kind. After speaking with Andrew about my current situation he gave me the best advise. If I need further representation I would most definitely be calling him.

Outstanding legal work, Understanding, and heads up thinking

Andrew is an outstanding attorney. He understands his client's needs, he is respectful of your time and he doesn't waste it. I couldn't have asked for better responses to my many questions and he always had a sense of my priorities and I am so very thankful for the outcome. The staff at his office ...is responsive and also respectful and courteous. I highly recommend him.

Grateful

I couldn't imagine anyone else representing me during one of the most difficult times in my life. Andrew is professional, smart, and well respected by his colleagues. He guided me every step of the way and eased my anxieties and fears. He handled my case with compassion and integrity and achieved ...a favorable result. He is a great attorney to have standing by your side.
