Excellent Lawyer

A few words about Andrew Needle attorney. I was in a situation where I had to deal with the loss of the love of my life. I contacted two highly recommended attorneys neither of which showed any real interest in taking my case or providing any feedback or information on what I was facing. Neither wou...ld answer any questions or provide a time frame or return a call in a timely manner. I decided to seek outside help. Mr. Needle was recommended to me by a friend. I contacted Mr. Needle and received an immediate response. He explained exactly what it was up against the time frame and the cost of litigation. The level of professional expertise was extraordinary. He provided his personal phone number as well as a contact in his office. When you are in over your head as I clearly was in this situation you need professional help. Mr. Needle provided that help. Every aspect of the case time frame and cost was provided. We had excellent communication. Mr. Needle and his staff were very kind and supportive of me and family. No question went UN answered. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Needle to anyone needing professional advice and expert help. I came away from this tragedy feeling that everything possible had been done to make things as right as they could be. Mr. Needle is a brilliant attorney and a very compassionate man. Two things I would have never associated before this untimely event. Mr. Needle is an ambassador and a great asset to the legal community.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
