Andrew Henry Hook's Lawyer Endorsements
"Andy Hook is truly one of the outstanding Estate Tax and Elder Law Benefit Lawyers in the United States. He has every recognition I believe you can achieve, and is dedicated to modernizing every aspect of his practice, using the best people and the best technology for each job. This means he has the maximum time to spend himself representing the client, rather than doing other work. Andy is a great mentor for each younger lawyer I have seen, and for many older lawyers. Andy also brings "one stop shopping" to Elder law, bringing many of the tasks that you would otherwise have to make multiple trips for all under one roof. It is worth seeing Andy Hook."
"Andy Hook is one of the top elder law/special needs trust attorneys in the country. I have known him for over two decades and have witnessed his outstanding work on many occasions. Andy is a true leader in the field."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Andy Hook is a talented practitioner and a true innovator in providing elder law advice and "full service" elder law care in the Tidewater region. I endorse him wholeheartedly."
"I endorse this lawyer. Several years back Mr. Hook wrote "Durable Powers of Attorney - They are Not Forms," which is such an important article that it ought to required reading for every new lawyer. He is one of the preeminent elder law attorneys in the country and I have never hesitated to refer people to him for his expert advice."
"I endorse this lawyer."
