As lawyers, we stand in a unique position of trust with not only our clients, but the justice system as a whole. I take these fiduciary obligations seriously, and I feel privileged to honor that trust daily.
When I meet with clients, my primary focus is to simply listen. By understanding the details and nuances of my clients' challenges, I can better recommend options, implement effective solutions, and give each client a greater understanding of their rights. Many of my clients report feeling relieved after our initial consultation, but I suspect this is largely because they realized they can actually talk to a professional without interruption.
Thorough fact investigation, a command of the law, and trial preparations are vitally important to success, But the best lawyers never lose sight of the big picture, including the emotional impact any litigation can have on litigants. Where a prolonged jury trial may be the best recommendation for a client well-suited to withstand the rigors attendant to a 3-day jury trial, mediation may be a preferred course for another. Where a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing may be the right course for a business facing crushing debt and a wave of lawsuits, contractual compromises and informal settlements outside bankruptcy may be the best option for another. Each case, like each client, is different.
For over 28 years I have been helping individuals and small companies face challenges head on. Whether representing individuals suffering from catastrophic personal injuries caused by the negligence of others or defending a doctor facing a medical malpractice action for the first time, I have approached each case with the confidence that hard work, coupled with competency and compassion, are the best path to success.

Beyond mastery of the law, Andrew Simpson has wisdom and perspective that informs his handling of criminal defense. Andrew's insight and understanding of the underlying issues allows him to take positions that benefit his clients. Just recently I referred a complex matter to Andrew, and he was able to negotiate an outstanding and fair result.
