This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Unprofessional demeanor

I had a consultation with Attorney Andrew Tank, and unfortunately, the experience did not meet my expectations. It appeared that Attorney Tank had not reviewed my motion prior to our call, which impacted the quality of the discussion. His responses seemed unprepared and lacked the depth I expected fr...om a legal professional. Additionally, his demeanor was abrupt and, at times, dismissive, which felt unprofessional and borderline discourteous. The call ended abruptly without any courteous closing remarks, which I would expect from an officer of the court. Rather than providing clear, actionable legal advice, the consultation focused heavily on general life advice, which was not what I sought or paid for. Based on this experience, I would recommend considering a different attorney if you are thinking of working with this firm.

Poor Representation

I am beside myself for not switching attorneys. But when you’re in the middle of that horrible situation, you think your attorney will steer you through it. My settlement was terrible, no where near where it should’ve been, and there was never a clear strategy or plan of attack. I feel my defense ...was basically “phoned in”. And honestly, looking back, I had a clear “winning” case, but that shouldn’t be for the client to push for, especially when the client is in the middle of the worst stage of their lives. That’s the point of hiring a qualified professional attorney. Very upset with what my life and my future now looks like. Someone’s life and future financial stability is too important to not do a thorough job. I’m devastated that I now have to pick up the pieces of my life and figure out how to move forward.

BAD EXPERIENCE

This lawyer did not act correctly in my divorce case, he made me leave the office when he was talking to my husband's lawyer, I did not benefit, on the contrary I lost what was due to me, such as the division of my house, I do not recommend him , he did not defend me as he should have.

The Best!

While dealing with a very dishonest and manipulative spouse, I contacted Livesay Myers to retain legal services for a military divorce. Andy Tank was assigned to my case. He and his team immediately recognized the game my spouse was playing and worked diligently to secure my future. Andy left no sto...ne unturned to obtain the settlement I deserved and gave me a wonderful opportunity to live a much happier life. He is a true joy to work with and worth every dollar.

Divorce Client

Andy and Lisa (his paralegal) were extremely helpful and responsive in the property settlement agreement and divorce process. Each offered timely and sound advice that put me at ease during a stressful period of my life. I really appreciated their assistance and would recommend their legal expertise ...in family law to anyone.
