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.

Mr Sacks was hired over the weekend while I was in jail with no bond given !By Monday the courts were notified that I had been represented and was set for bond hearings, mr sacks got me a speedy hearing that week and has been more then reasonable with working with financial areas as there are several... charges and cases involving my case. I can’t speak for everyone’s situation but I can say it’s a business and he wants to be paid yes, however I don’t see or feel at all that his representation is any less based on payment. I’ve even sprung new non related issues to Mr sacks and he gladly accepted the challenge .. He speaks very little and that can be nerve wracking when your freedom is on the line but he works and so does his office staff very hard for the best possible outcomes. I realized that answering calls is quite hard when you’re in court fighting for ppls lives so when I’m in need of anything urgent or just need answers I call his office and everyone is extremely friendly and knowledgeable about my concerns,when they can’t answer a question they do not hesitate to contact mr sacks directly I would recommend him and continue using him for any matters big or small .

At first Mr. Sacks act like he was going to do any and everything to help us we our case but once he received our money he stop answering our phone calls and was not helpful at all. DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT HIRE HIM TO BE YOUR LAWYER HE JUST WANTS YOURS MONEY. He takes on to much and always acts like h...e is to busy to help with your case. I regret hiring him to be my lawyer
