Family First

After 17 years of marriage and 3 children later I found myself going through a divorce. To say it was difficult is an understatement. There were so many questions and stress. I found Andrew through family who highly recommended him. He did not disappoint. He answered all of my questions. He was emp...athetic and was more concerned about making sure things were done in mine and my children's best interest vs dragging the situation out with empty promises in order to get a bigger pay day. He never gave me false hope in situations and never made me feel like I was a burden though I know he is extremely busy. In the end he ended up having the faith of me, my children and even my ex husband. As he was the only one who was looking out for all of our futures, my ex husband even entrusted him in the end. If you want a genuine, empathetic, family oriented lawyer, see Andrew. Despite this being a very difficult situation, he made the process as easy as can be and in the end became even a friend. This is what small towns need. More individuals who care about the families in need instead of making an already difficult process longer in order to get a bigger pay out in the end.

Find another attorney

I had my consultation with Andrew Brockway, got the price for my divorce and was happy! As soon as family court was settled I would turn in all my documents and get my divorce started. Except after my consultation with him, I could not get ahold of him again. Left multiple messages with his secreta...ry, for a month straight. Since he didn’t once return my calls I am VERY happy I didn’t drop my check off to pay him. (I didn’t have to until I dropped off the paperwork packet). But since he couldn’t call back to answer my questions, I guess losing thousands of dollars for my divorce isn’t a concern to him. I highly recommend hiring a different attorney, unless you don’t want/need to speak with him about anything. Horrible customer service and not sure how he even stays in business with this kind of service.

Ms. Heath, we met on April 3, 2018 and we had a free consultation. I informed you at the time of the meeting that in order to proceed, we would need the retainer fee and the completed paperwork. We did not receive either from you. I am sorry you feel the way you do and would like to speak to you about it.

Thank you Andrew

I can not say enough about Andrew, from our first meeting on he was straight forward and honest, his main concern was to do the very best for me. He answered any and all of my questions, if he was not sure of something he told me and then found the answer , he did not hesitate to return my phone call...s as well as keeping me updated on all that was happening. His personality is one of compassion and looking out for his clients best interest. He truly did a wonderful job and I will certainly go straight to him if ever I need a lawyer in the future. I would recommend Andrew to anyone. Thank you Andrew for treating me like a person, and for looking out for me and my family. Divorce is difficult enough but to have a lawyer you trust and believe in sure makes a difference.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
