Supreme Court Ruled again Mr. Sacks

In a November Supreme Court ruling , they found Mr. Sacks as "ineffective Counsel", in 3 areas of my case. We hired him in 2009. He started off efficient, ended up DEFICIENT. It was a nightmare. He was quite sidetracked with other matters. Had too many cases. Doesn't win that much anymore. All abo...ut plea deals. Withheld expert information from me and my paying Mom. Information that we paid for. He will never go after the Cops Investigations or Prosecution to establish reasonable doubt. He is so much more. I will not repeat. Please don't Be swayed by his long past successes. He cost me 7 years of my life. He is my far, the biggest mistake I ever made , hiring him. Won't return calls, cares about his money more than his clients. Stay Away. You have been warned.

THE BEST LAWYER ON THE EAST COAST

If all lawyers were like Andrew the word would be a better place. I placed my life in this mans hands and he treated me like I was family. He answered my calls day or night and even on the weekends. I consider Andrew more as a friend then my attorney, thats how AWESOME he is. In the court room everyo...ne respects him and nothing gets by him. All I have to say is he's simply the best. Just remember too, you get what you pay for.

At first he seemed he was interested in helping, but seem distracted with other cases he was taking on. I believe he was more interest on money flow then his clients . Some of same complaints from previous clients that had same experience. I hired him to represent my son. I have been getting differe...nt stories form my son and from him. Does not follow through on what he was asked to do. Does not get back to you right away. Staff seems to be the only good in his practice. He talks a big talk with no results he needs worry more on his clients then on who he is up against. I would not recommend him in the future.

One of the good guys

Amazing! Awesome! And wow! When it comes to a person freedom, it's such a tough decision which lowyer should be the one to represent the case in the best way possible. My friend case was very complicated and difficult, lucky for us we had Andrew sacks on our side. He took this case very seriously an...d really made a miracle happen. If you need a lowyer this is your guy!!! Thank you Andrew, you really made me a believer in the justice system, and I will forever be Greatfull for your help! Good luck with your cases and I hope you'll win always ⭐️
