DUI/DWI

Andrew handled my case not only with the level of professionalism expected of an attorney but down to the human level you knew he was all in for his client and I felt as if I had a friend going to bat for me. He is well known in the courtroom and knows his way around. We won our case and I am gratef...ul I found him and his firm.

Wilmington's top choice for DWI

I was referred to Andrew by a top attorney who does not specialize in Andrew's areas of expertise. It's an understatement to say he exceeded my expectations in every way. He was completely engaged, followed up promptly and clearly knows his way around Wilmington's courtrooms. Andrew is the kind of... person it's impossible not to like. When you combine that personality with his work ethic and talent level, it's impossible not have a high success rate. Wilmington is fortunate to have such a bright young star.

Got my DUI reduced and saved my license

I was charged in federal court with a dui on Base and Andrew did a great job telling me what was going to happen in my case and keeping me updated on what the prosecutor was saying. He got my case reduced to a lesser charge and I was in and out of federal court in a couple of hours. He was great.

Andrew did a great job for me

Andrew represented me in a DWI in Wilmington recently. I don't know what that one reviewer's problem is but like all the other reviewers said he did a great job for me. Probably says something that the one bad review had already gone through two other lawyers before Andrew. Anyway, Andrew met wit...h me and told me all the potential outcomes of my case. He showed me a copy of the motions he had filed in my case and after he talked to the cop that charged me he told me we had a good argument for a motion to suppress. Andrew tried my case and the judge granted his motion and suppressed the stop so we won. I probably we'd have lost my job if we lost so it was really amazing. His prices were pretty much in line with what others told me they would charge but I just felt like Andrew could give me better service. He really did. I'll hire him for anything I ever need in the future for sure. I figured the least I could do is tell other people how well he did.

What a lifesaver!

I hired Andrew to handle several criminal matters that I had in Wilmington and in Pender County. He was great! He always called me back and told me what was happening the whole time. He got most of my cases dismissed and the others pled to minor stuff with unsupervised probation. Awesome.
