Did not provide professional services

I hired Andrew Laird in 2017 to pursue grandparents rights. He communicated how easy this case would be and apologized for the lack of communication for almost 3 months after receiving my deposit of $3500. He said he would file an emergency request and never did. One year later, he was unsuccessful... at winning my case because he did not communicate how to prepare as a witness.I tried to contact Andrew Laird to discuss the case after the hearing and never heard from him. I would not recommend his services to anyone. Andrew Laird was unprofessional showing a pattern of no communication for an entire year. Andrew said he would contact me and follow up with the court transcript and I never heard from him. I followed up sending an email and a letter and never received a response from him.

Thank You!!

When I met with Andrew he took the time to listen to my situation and asked appropriate questions to ensure he had all the information he needed to provide appropriate advice to me. He followed up our initial conference with a letter providing an overview of our discussion. I immediately felt comfort...able with Andrew and his staff who was also very accommodating and sincere. My case involved a complicated domestic matter which he worked through practically, patiently, and with great diligence. He advised me throughout the entire process and was available to answer any questions - even on weekends he would return calls. I was extremely grateful for his representation and his aggressive approach to ensure a positive outcome each and every step of the process. I would recommend Andrew and his firm to any individual going through a domestic matter.

Professional, highly recommended - Willing to litigate

Andrew and his staff are professional,responsive and easily approachable. When I needed a new attorney to help me through my divorce, support and custody issues, Andy stepped right in. I immediately felt at ease and knew that everything would be handled how I had originally hoped. He kept me informe...d every step of the way. We had multiple appearences in court, he clearly felt at ease and handled everything with ease. I highly recommend Andy and his firm for any legal needs.

Experienced Litigator

If you are looking for someoene who is not afraid to step into the arena, roll up their sleeves, and fight for you, you found him. Mr. Laird came recommended and the recommendation could not have been better. I had a complicated divorce that involved a business, real estate, and substantial assets.... He kept me informed throughout the duration of the case and set realistic expectations. He clearly had the respect of the Court and when challenged he did not back down. I would recommend him to anyone who needs an aggressive divorce lawyer.

Outstanding, Amazing, Top Notch

Andy has helped me over the years with several matters, including custody, support and criminal. Andy has always been attentive, kind, compassionate, calming and trustworthy. He was very knowledgeable in every case and would explain to me everything that was going to happen and what to expect. No ...surprises. Andy truly cared about me and my family and what was best for us. He is very straightforward and does not allow the opposing counsel to belittle you. Andy has made every case as smooth as possible and he has also calmed me many times when I was ready to crumble. I can not say enough good things about Andy or his practice. If you want an attorney who gives you 110% and has your best interest at heart, then Andy is your guy.
