Great man.. phenomenal lawyer.

Andrew has been a gem in every step of the way in resolving and navigating an array of legal matters I’ve faced, from the simplest being when my son was facing a high mph speeding infraction, to my own circumstances that could potentially range well within decades of minimum mandatory sentencing. I’...ve trusted him with my life, even when I didn’t have my own best interest. Fortunately I don’t have to anymore, but if a time came, I wouldn’t hesitate. He is a crucial player in the turnaround I’ve dedicated my life to.

Professional and Reassuring

My son received a reckless driving ticket. I contacted Andrew as this was a serious matter because my son is a minor. Andrew was able to reduce the charge and helped my son through the process right from the beginning. He made sure my son was well-prepared for court and we knew what to expect. Very h...appy with the service we received and I would highly recommend Andrew and this law firm!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
