There are lots of skills that go into being a good appellate attorney: writing ability, courtroom presence, the ability to adapt to the preferences of judges in jurisdictions all across the state. But one skill is key: issue selection. I read case law over my morning coffee. I read it on my lunch break. I read it when I get home. If there is something wrong with your conviction, chances are I will know about it. I have spent my career advising lawyers across the state how to turn lost cases into winning appeals. Now, I'm ready to bring those skills to bear for you.

While our case is still ongoing, Andrew has been a superstar. After not feeling supported by previous representation, I reached out to Andrew and he reviewed the case. He was well versed and understood the concerns I had and despite having a heavy caseload, graciously took me on. I can be pretty pesk...

I want to start by saying that Andrew is a passionate lawyer when it comes to his job. He sees beyond the surface when it comes to representing his clients. Upon meeting him for the first time (over the phone) I can tell he was really interested in learning who I was as a person. It didn't matter wh...
It was an honor to represent you, and it's hard to overstate how much you helped.

Andrew Fleischman is an excellent attorney and highly regarded by his peers. When I was referred to Andrew by a fellow acquaintance of his. I honestly thought I was going to find myself with a 1-800-call-now kind of operation. It was the exact opposite. Andrew checked in on my health daily and kept m...
Thank you so much. This made my day.

On July 23, 2016, my son was driving home from college to his home to goto sleep in Fulton County when he was followed and attacked at our home by corrupt Forsyth County Police. They attacked and injured my son when he committed no traffic violation or any crime whatsoever! This is/was clear and simp...
"Andrew is one of the smartest, most hard-working, and most caring lawyers that I know. He has proven time and time again that he will not be out worked, and he usually comes up with an exceptional answer for his clients. If Andrew is on your side, you have a great lawyer. I recommend him without hesitation. Ben Sessions"
"Andrew is one of the best and brightest attorneys I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. He is a brilliant speaker and advocate, and a tremendous legal thinker and writer. He has had incredible success overturning wrongful convictions, on some of the toughest cases in Georgia. Whether arguing at trial, or at the appellate level, Andrew is a star. He is exceptionally well respected in the legal community and is known as the "go-to" guy for complex issues and appeals. I regularly rely on Andrew for his expertise. I could not recommend him more highly."
"Andrew is one of the best appellate advocates in the State of Georgia. He has encyclopedic knowledge of law and procedure, and he is always reading new cases to broaden his understanding. This voracious appetite for the law translates to great results for Andrew's clients. He often spots winning issues at the beginning of the case and sees them through to victory in our appellate courts. He has personally exonerated many, many people because of his advocacy and knowledge of the law. Along with appeals, he is a very effective trial lawyer. Recently, he won two jury trials in one week. Some lawyers don't win two jury trials ever. Along with his many exceptional professional qualities, he is a generous and helpful colleague to fellow lawyers, myself included. I have gotten so much fantastic advice from Andrew over the years on how to better represent my own clients. He is generous and gracious every time. I don't think there is a better lawyer in Georgia to take your criminal case."
"Andrew is the brightest attorney I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. HIs understanding and analysis of complex legal arguments is second to none, and his personal investment in his client's future shines through in every aspect of his work."
"I've been relying on Andrew's legal opinions since we were in law school together, so it comes as no surprise to me that he has achieved stunning successes in his career thus far. His knowledge of criminal procedure is encyclopedic, and he leverages every bit of it to his client's advantage every time."
"Andrew is one of the most brilliant attorneys I know. I tried to hire him to join my law firm in New York, but was unable to persuade him to leave Georgia. For anyone litigating an appeal in Georgia, I could not imagine a better choice of attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer. Having witnessed Andrew successfully handling intricate legal issues at the highest level of legal domains, attending seminars at which he spoke, and knowing him on a personal level, I highly recommend Andrew."
"The main words that come to mind when describing Andrew are "FREEDOM FIGHTER!" As an alumnus of the California Innocence Project and former Public Defender, I know a true defender of the meek and unheard when I see one. Andrew matches his enthusiasm for his craft with raw and unmeasured talent in advocacy. He volunteers his excellence to help other attorneys win their case, and attorneys accept his offer as they know their chances of success have multiplied exponentially with him on their side. Look no farther. If you have Andrew on your side, you have already started winning!"
"There is no question that Andrew is one of the best appellate lawyers in the State of Georgia. I’ve read his briefs, I’ve watched him argue before the Supreme Court of Georgia and I am impressed by his ability to spot issues that result in getting convictions overturned."
"Andrew is an outstanding attorney who cares deeply about his clients. Couple that with a highly sophisticated grasp of the law makes Andrew the attorney you would want on your side! I highly endorse Andrew without reservation."
"Andrew is one of the most intelligent and thorough lawyers that I have ever met. He is uniquely suited to appeals both because of his dedication to his clients and to continuously learning more about the law. Andrew takes on the most difficult cases and somehow manages to turn things around for his clients. If you are in need of an appellate attorney, I cannot imagine that you will find a better lawyer to represent you."
"Andrew is an engaged, intellectually curious, committed, passionate lawyer. Anyone who hires him will value his keen mind and zealous advocacy."
"Mr. Fleischman is without question one of the smartest, most well-informed and well-researched attorneys I know. No one stays as current on the ever-changing case law of our state. He has a genuine passion for his work and his clients. If Mr. Fleischman is your attorney, you are in capable hands."
"Andrew is relentless in the pursuit of justice. He is smart and determined -- necessary qualities for a brilliant defense attorney."
"Andrew knows the law and is always available to help. He is a smart, caring, and incredibly hard working attorney. He gets great results and definitely goes the extra mile."
