Andrew Michael Sacks

I cannot say enough good things about Mr. Sacks. I’ve read a lot of negative reviews however I went with my gut and hired him for a serious case. He does take in a lot of work but I have never been in the court with someone so focused on what they’re doing in that moment. He ended up reducing my sons... sentence by over half of the time and helped us out when we weren’t able to afford the fees. TAKE MY WORD - Mr Sacks IS your guy

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.

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.
