100% the best

Andy's legal advice, representation, time, dedication and results are the only positive to come out of my criminal matter. I was facing some serious charges and Andy helped me to help me achieve a much better result. He stuck with me every single step of the way, he always followed up with me when ...he said he would, and was 100% correct every time he gave me his opinion and he was always honest in his assessment (even when at times it wasnt what what I wanted to hear). Even after the matter ended, Andy took the time to call me and offer me the best possible advice anyone could give me and basically using his advice, I was able to get a job despite my record. I chose Andy because a friend of mine recommended him. I visited with him with a lawyer in my family that told me he was clearly the best we interviewed. Andy was the best decision I made after making a big mistake and I don't know anyone outside of my family that showed more genuine care and concern for my well being and without asking me for anything in return (well after my case was over and his services were done- he helped me by giving me time and advice on his own time). Andy even texted me on my birthday to check in on me. Outside of the case- because of Andy I have become a better person and I am forever grateful to him for his help and will never forget him my whole life. I still have some things to take care of over time and I wouldn't go to anyone else except him. I wouldn't think twice to recommend him to anyone who is facing a legal issue of any kind (as he knows other experts as well) but especially in any criminal matter (mine was in the suburbs of Philadelphia)- Andy is the guy. He is everything you would want in an excellent attorney and then some. My experience was beyond positive and I hope reading this is helpful to any others who may be thinking about meeting with him. Thank you for all that you did for me and my family Andy.

Excellent Attorney

I think that Andrew Gay is a excellent attorney. He represented my husband in the most professional manner, his ethics are of the highest standards. I found him to be experienced, responsive, knowledgeable and honest. I felt as though my husband situation was in adept and trustworthy hands and Andrew... Gay did not steer him wrong. I also appreciated his calming presence and his polite and respectful attitude in the courtroom and outside of it. Andrew Gay has tenacity coupled with a degree of tenderness but never losing site of the end goal, which is to protect, defend and have the best outcome for his client. My husband was rewarded not guilty. I highly recommend Andrew Gay on any matter that takes someone with these abilities. Sincerely relief, a wife of a client

"I have known Andy around the CJC for a few years and have always known him to be a very kind and professional attorney. Recently I had the pleasure of trying a complicated mis-identification jury trial with him and could not say more about his preparation, composure and trial skills. I could not think of a better attorney to recommend to a close friend or family member."
