Andrea Fink

Let me start off by saying, I would fight a Bengal tiger for this woman Last summer, my wife of over a decade announced that she was moving out with our two young kids. Ultimately moving towards a divorce. I had no experience with such matters, nor anyone in my inner-circle. I contacted a buddy of... mine who is a lawyer. He said to call the firm Andrea was working at. After my consultation visit at this firm, I was teamed up with Andrea. I am so thankful for this particular day. Andrea has a wonderful personality, but she has a no-nonsense side to her. When she asks a question, she wants details. This woman is incredible with organization and details. I also made it clear that we would not stoop to mudslinging and childish games with my wife and her Counsel. Early on I mentioned that I wanted us to conduct ourselves in the highest level of professionalism. Andrea went above and beyond as a professional, but when a few events occurred that got my emotions up, she would remind me of my goal to be professional. I loved this about her. She made I a point to represent me in more ways that just legal matters. She knew deep down I wanted to handle this in a dignified way. Mediation/divorce is a terribly emotional time and you need that advocate in your corner saying “Relax, I’ve got your back.” It took a couple months to get a date lined up for mediation. All that time waiting, Andrea allowed me the grace to ask questions and pick her brain. She never lost patience with me. On the day of mediation, I was for sure I would be tense and defensive. But Andrea’s “cool presence” removed any such worries. She was wonderful that day. Pure magic. It is my understanding that most of the focus on Separation Agreements is on the obvious items (personal property, alimony, child support, retirement accounts…) but months later I am still seeing the things Andrea thought of well in advance. The smallest details that seemed irrelevant at mediation have turned out to be brilliant. The general thought for men regarding mediation/divorce is that you have little hope. The legal system will “always” side with the female and you’re going to have a humble start to your life again. I am proof that is not the case. This woman, Andrea Fink, defended me in the highest standards. She listened to my story and understood my position. She was able to see the big picture and she fought for what was right. Not merely what I wanted, but what was right. Today, I am a man of peace. Yes, because of impending divorce, there are certain goals and dreams that I am going to have to let go. But internally, I have contentment and joy. God used this woman in a mighty way. I am so thankful for her.
