BEST ATTORNEY HANDS DOWN!

Mr. Andrade is one fine attorney, I’ve (unfortunately but fortunately) had to acquire his legal services, and just as the description states, he really does fight for you until the very end. He helped me when I was a juvenile, facing juvenile charges, 2 or 3 Separate times he got everything droppe...d, taken care of. I believe I had to pay $400 to the city of Sanford for the last one, and that was it. No criminal record, no probation, no juvie time, for any of them. Keep in mind, they were all misdemeanors, for dumb stuff. Not only did Mr Andrade take me under his wing, but he tried to guide me in the right path. Then I turned 18, and got another case, this time, for marijuana. but in this in instance, Mr Andrade acknowledged the officer had NO RIGHT to conduct a traffic stop after viewing body camera footage, he did his first steps “my client pleads not guilty” I kept texting mr Andrade about the incident and he stated “don’t worry, I got your back” well, he wasn’t lying! A few days later I get a call from Mr Andrade stating “the state has decided to close the case” we cheered on the phone together, and I thank him for everything he has done for me. He saved me and I’ll forever be grateful for Mr Andrade. He is awesome, great guy. And this review is 100% real and updated. These are from incidents 2019-2020, and the most recent one in 2022. Mr. Andrade is still at it, doing his thing. And I appreciate him always. If you really need a good lawyer, stop looking, you have found one. He has helped me as a client, as a friend, and made me feel like I was a family member. I’ll be forever grateful for him, and if I ever need to acquire his services again, I will definitely be calling Mr Andrade first quarter.

The Best Attorney in Town

Octavio Andrade is the best attorney in the Orlando area. He has helped me through some difficult times and has always persevered on my behalf. He is trustworthy and honest. He truly cares about his clients' best interest; providing time and time again favorable results. He is easily accessible in th...e phone and online, always returns calls and promptly returns emails. He is extremely knowledgeable in multiple practice areas as well. I would, without hesitation, highly recommend this attorney to anyone.

I would highly recommend his firm and services to any of my friends and family.

Great Attorney and Great Team

Well for me I met Attorney Andrade through a recommendation from a friend while I was in jail. Ive never broke a law in my life and one night got into a heated argument. The other guy lied about what happened and next thing I know the police were at my door arresting me for what was considered Domest...ic Violence, even though it wasn't a domestic setting. To this day I don't understand that but it basically broke down to assault in a dwelling against another guy I knew. It was a false charge and a completely bogus arrest but there was nothing I could do about it. Cops weren't going to listen to me, I tried actually and they didnt. In jail I was calling desperately for help but it was the middle of the night and was mainly getting answering machines from other law offices in the phone book. A friend recommended Attorney Andrade and when I called the guy answered. It was the middle of the night and he answered, took my info, kept me calm and showed up first thing to get ready for my arraignment in front of the judge. Now even though I wasn't a risk to anyone, and hadn't broken the law before because the cops labeled as a domestic violence the judge wanted to keep me in jail or as the argument went on he wanted to put on a high bail amount. I didnt have to say anything at all, Attorney Andrade spoke to the judge, defended me and go me a PTR (which I was told it was a pre-trial release) so I didnt have to pay anything. I was released and went home. A few days later I went to Andrade's law office and met his team. His office manager Erika helped me with the paperwork and explained to me everything I needed to do. They also helped me with the payments and Attorney Andrade sat down with me to work on my defense. he kept reassuring me that he had my back as I was still scared since Ive never been through anything remotely like this before. He kept me calm throughout the process and kept reminding me my life wasn't over. A few weeks went by and I got a call from Attorney Andrade telling me that my case was dismissed and all charges were dropped. Thats when it sunk in what happened, what could have happened to me and what I could have lost. Domestic violence and assault charges in Florida are scary. Worst it was for a bogus charge, Attorney Andrade was able to get it completely thrown out and removed from my record so it doesn't penalize me in future background checks. Ive been coming back to him for other business as well, from help with a speeding ticket to helping me with business as well. The team in his offices are really nice and caring people. They are always sweet to me and anyone else that come in. Very professional and knowledgeable. The attorney was prompt when getting back to me if I called in and he really helped me out a lot. Avoiding like crazy ever being in that type of situation again but he did help me avoid this one so Im thankful. I would highly recommend Attorney Andrade if you are looking for a great lawyer.
