Andrew A. Strauss

I was fortunate indeed to find Mr. Strauss. He was not only professional and knowledgeable but showed caring, compassion and thoughtfulness on every level. He showed a great deal of understanding for my particular situation and he and his wonderful staff made me feel that I was his top priority and o...nly client. If Mr. Srauss wanted to clarify an issue he did not hesitate to call in someone else. It gave me a great deal of confidence that not only his opinion and advice were always verified but that he was willing to take that extra step. He truly, truly had my best interest at heart not only for the present but for the future. After our business was completed another matter unrelated came up. I called the Strauss Firm for an appointment and to my amazement he took my call and put me in contact with someone who could best assist in my situation. I would absolutely recommend Mr. Strauss and his firm and say that you would indeed be fortunate to be associated with him. M. Wilson

I have worked with Andy for nearly a quarter century, so it is safe to say we have some history. It is difficult for a layman to evaluate a professional's expertise. After all, one hires professionals for access to expertise. But it is not difficult to evaluate a professional on many other levels.... First and foremost, Andy is the best communicator I know. He makes sure he understands exactly what you are trying to do and in so doing, makes sure you yourself understand exactly what you are trying to do. He then expeditiously translates your plans and objectives into clear legal documentation. OK, possibly there is no such thing. But Andy explains what he has done so well and clearly that even the very inexperienced can follow along. Secondly, I can easily evaluate his responsiveness. Andy has responded to me within hours of my every inquiry, even on a Sunday evening. Finally, It is one thing to prepare legal documentation, such as Trusts, Wills and the like, but it is quite another to defend the work involved clearly and persuasively. Andy helped me respond to an IRS challenge in such a manner that the matter was dropped immediately, and believe me, the issues were complex. I could not ask for a finer attorney or a more responsive friend than Andy Strauss.

Andy Strauss assisted us in creating an estate plan that is perfectly tailored to our needs. He did a terrific job of explaining our options and advising us of how we can best meet our goals. His service included new Wills, Health Care Powers of Attorney, Advance Directives, and a comprehensive Tru...st to cover incapacity and/or death. He is extremely knowledgeable, easy to work with, and responsive to our needs. He was highly recommended to us, and we highly recommend him for any estate planning needs.
