After law school, Andrew spent four years defending Virginians from criminal prosecutions as an attorney in the Alexandria and Suffolk Public Defender offices, as well as a private criminal defense attorney in Fairfax and Prince William Counties.

In addition to trials, Andrew has experienced much success in resolving cases before trial, and reducing clients’ sentences who hired him after losing their trials. Andrew has also handled multiple appeals to the Virginia Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court of Virginia, and has even overturned sentences imposed by the Virginia Parole Board long after criminal cases have ended.

The prosecution also had some 20 other charges they could have brought against me. I was also facing what looked like unavoidable jail time. Thankfully, w...

What an Attorney should be! Top notch defender!
Working with Attorney Lindsey was great! It felt more like I had a friend defending me in the court room, than an attorney who barely knows me. Every step of the way, he kept me informed and I knew exactly what would happen. There were no surprises, as he told me what may or may not happen. He knows ...

Mr. Lindsey is the best attorney I have ever worked with
Mr. Lindsey is very professional and knowledgeable. From Day one he set realistic expectations for my case and on the day of trial he over delivered, I am quite grateful for his help and I could not have imagined a better outcome for my case. I would definitely recommend him and his firm
Andrew William Lindsey's Lawyer Endorsements
"Andrew Lindsey cares about his clients and he fights for them. Andrew worked for me when I was in private practice and I was able to evaluate his work routinely. He has great focus and attention to detail. He is willing to go the extra mile to help a client when they need him, devoting his time and attention to the client's needs. Andrew's written work is particularly strong - he files motions that are persuasive and creative. His research skills are outstanding, as well."
"Andrew is a talented young lawyer. He knows how to think outside of the box and consider the angles of each case. I highly recommend Andrew."
"Andrew clearly cares about his clients, on top of having a strong legal mind. I had the pleasure earlier this year of collaborating with Andrew about a mutual client. His ideas about defending this client were right on the money. Moreover, it is a pleasure speaking with Andrew, as he is a good person through and through. I recommend his services."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I had the opportunity to work with Mr. Lindsey on a very complex criminal case several years ago, and after that experience as well as observing his work on several other cases, I can endorse this lawyer without hesitation. He possesses all the attributes of an outstanding criminal defense lawyer. He is zealous and confident without being arrogant. He is extremely hard working and knowledgeable about the law. He is patient and honest with his clients. Most of all he is not afraid to fight to get the best possible outcome in each case. If a family member or friend of mine got in trouble and told me they had hired Andrew to represent them, I would rest easy knowing they were in good hands."
"I am happy to endorse Andrew Lindsey. He is an asset to the legal community in more ways than one. Andrew is a knowledgeable and dedicated attorney who is willing to go the extra mile to reach the best outcome for his clients."
"Andrew is very detail oriented and will investigate every aspect of your case. If you want an attorney who truly fights for you, Andrew is your man."
"I wholeheartedly endorse Andrew Lindsey as a Virginia criminal defense practitioner. Having worked alongside Andrew on a daily basis both inside and outside of court, I can say that he is one of the most prepared and thoughtful defense attorneys I have encountered so far. Andrew has a diverse amount of defense experience throughout Virginia, and it really shows in terms of his approaches, his predictions, and his results across differing jurisdictions. It also shows in his willingness to accept all kinds of cases, sometimes at significant discounts, for client's who are truly in need of a dedicated defense despite their financial situations. I myself have benefitted from his input and advice on multiple occasions, and he is a great attorney to collaborate with if you are looking for constructive perspective. Many of Andrew's clients realize they are lucky to have him, and I certainly anticipate referring others to him who need a novel advocate in their corner."
"Andrew is a terrific asset to the Avvo community. He goes out of his way to give detailed answers to legal questions."
"I endorse this lawyer."
