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.

Do not invest your money with this untrustworthy and unknowledgable attorney

I first contacted Andrew after 2 unfortunate attempts with other attorneys in Wilmington for a real estate matter where my realtor illegally let people into my home who stole everything including my 2 home based businesses. Andrew at first seemed great. Slowly, as time wore on, he never returned ph...one calls and never kept me abreast as to what was happening with my case. After several years of trying to rectify the matter, I had to cut an overseas trip short to return to a mediation where he and his partner were on their phones the entire time. Not only did he not give any advice, he did not ever know of what was going on during the mediation pertaining to the thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours of time I invested during the investigatory process. I not only paid for him and his partner to waste my time and money while they were on their phones checking email and their own personal things when they should have been focusing on my case that I paid Andrew over $15,000 for and received nothing. I have asked him numerous times for my bill to be able to analyze his fees versus the detailed time that I took while speaking to him over the course off our brief discussions. He still has yet to send the detailed bill, and I doubt he ever will. I highly advise that you never utilize his services.

First Class Attorney

Mr. Nettleman is an excellent Attorney with Integrity and high Ethical standards. I was very impressed with Mr. Nettleman’s knowledge of the law and his preparation both during the trial and the jury selection process. He prepared and successfully argued several motions in open court that were crit...ical in my case. We needed the services of an expert to review the case materials and to provide testify on my behalf. He researched and found such an expert, personally met with them to provide all the relevant materials. I had no prior experience with the judicial system and he provided me with research the regarding evidence issues related to my case. He and his staff kept in touch with me and we met many times throughout the entire legal process. If you are looking for an Attorney who you can trust and will work hard on your behalf I would highly recommend Mr. Nettleman. Thanks to his hard work and dedication I was exonerated and acquitted on all charges.
