Through everything, he never stopped fighting for me.

Through everything, he never stopped fighting for me. Andrew represented me over a period of 2 years. I can't speak highly enough of his service, attention to detail, and engagement on the case. I had a shock outcome that involved substantially more jail time than the guidelines- as a result of a...n open plea. He was incensed and genuinely livid at the outcome of my sentencing and the judge's exorbitant overreach. He quickly filed a reconsideration - helped ensure I got accepted to a diversionary program (the boot camp program run by the state) and eventually submitted an appeal on my behalf that was both thorough and substantive. I had already been released through the boot camp by the time my appeal went through, but he drastically decreased the parole and probationary tail on my case. His ethics? Unquestionable. His knowledge of the law? Thorough and complete. He knows when to fight in open court, when and how to fight through motions, and how to develop an appellate strategy that bears fruit for his clients. Though the initial sentencing outcome wasn't positive, Andrew never quit on me. I hold his expertise in the highest regard. If you need a criminal defense attorney - hire Andrew.

Juvenile criminal defense

Andrew was willing to take on our unique case requiring a defense attorney for a juvenile. Being completely naïve to the legal system, Andrew explained the process of what we should expect at each step along the way. He was supportive and answering questions whenever they came up and actively worked ...towards an early resolution to our case.

Not Guilty

Andrew is the best lawyer I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. He’s represented my family in Criminal court and Juvenile court on two separate occasions. Both times he has exceeded my expectations and we won. He tells you what it is and that’s what it is. Not guilty isn’t something that you ...hear very often and we were fortunate enough to experience that when I hired Andrew. Any legal problems contact Andrew and he’ll take care of that for you. Thank you Andrew from the bottom of our hearts.

Do not hire

I will never stop making people aware of your negligence. My husband still sits in immigration. We are now filing a PCRA claiming INEFFECTIVE COUNSEL. Which is you.
