Lawyer Review

Attorney D’Andrea was an outstanding lawyer for me. He was extremely helpful and was always easily contacted whenever necessary. He went above and beyond to provide the best service he could. He handled everything in a professional manner and made me feel secure throughout the entire process. I highl...y recommend Attorney D’Andrea to anyone who is seeking legal advice.

The Very Best for Legal Advice

Mr. D'Andrea is not only an expert on the law, but he is also a true humanitarian. I was a client of Mr. D'Andrea for eight months in total. He is gracious, kind, and passionate about helping you. He goes slow and thoroughly explains/teaches what you need to know to understand your case and all of ...the options you have available to you. He always made sure to answer any of my questions, and most times he would get back to me on the same day I called him; if not he would return my call within the next business day. He is much more than a master of his field, but rather an altruistic man who really wants you to succeed from the bottom of his heart. It would be a mistake not to choose and trust this man to guide you with his wisdom. He is the best!

Experience and Expertise

Joe was able to get my case reduced to a minimal and may soon be expunged. Joe knows the DA and all of the DA office. He knows the judges, many other attorneys, and related people dealing with my case . I was very concerned going in, but through my legal defense, Joe put me at ease. Joe is a no n...onsense attorney who will tell you what you need to know and when. I would use Joe's services again. thanks.

Thank you for all you did!

Joe D'Andrea helped my parents press charges against me, had me put in jail, put me into lakawana county treatment court, and for all that I am grateful! In my specific situation it wasn't about getting me out of trouble or lessening my charges, it was about saving my life. Which at the time I didn't... see, but Joe did! I have been sober for 4 1/2 years and I am extremely proud of myself and all I have accomplished. That being said, had Joe not helped my parents when they had exhausted all other options, I truly believe I would not be where I am today! He is a wonderful lawyer but more than that he is a wonderful person! I will never forget what he has done for me and my family!

Professionall, Knowledgeable, Competent

Attorney D’Andrea met with me promptly to review and discuss the circumstances of the case. Through his demonstration of vast knowledge and strong communication skills he was able to advise the most appropriate action which lead to a very successful conclusion. I truly appreciate and value Attorney D...’Andrea’s complete involvement.
