Andrew Michael Sacks

He practically forced himself onto our high profile case, boasting his "expertise" in the area of our case. We never saw any evidence of that so called expertise! His staff investigator is worthless. We ended up paying an investigative firm thousands to find basic things and make basic contact. H...e doesn't return phone calls, text messages, or emails. He had 18 months to prepare our case, during which time he charged us for things I still don't understand why we "needed". ($1,500 for photos the Commonwealth already had, etc.) We were told again and again that expert testimony would be key to winning our case. In the middle of the trial, I asked him about ballistics testimony, and he told me exactly how the man would testify. Then he never called the guy to the stand! In fact, there was never a ballistics expert present at the trial! When I questioned him about this later, he said he felt the jury would be overwhelmed. Speaking of the jury, he spoke for such a lengthy time in closing, the jurors got tired of hearing from him. They were making faces and body language telling him to end it. There were two who put their notepads/pens down and folded their arms. Besides ballistics, there were 2 key witnesses he never called, including the only eye witness! The 911 tape was never played, and he spent zero time preparing witnesses. His work resulted in a wrongful conviction and wrongful incarceration. If I could give him less than 1 star, I would. I wouldn't recommend him to anybody who isn't pleading guilty. Don't let this guy talk you into hiring him. There was a time decades ago when his work was worth it. That time is long gone.

Mr. Sacks only cares about his income stream. He represents so many Guilty people , he has no idea how to represent an Innocent person. He rarely wins, withholds exculpatory information from his own clients. I would not recommend him to an enemy. He rides on his youthful wins. Boasting always. But wh...en does he win? Not very often That should be the first question a client asks. He will not fight for you if it means going against cops or prosecutors. Stay away. Worse mistake I ever made.
