Thank You, Andy !!!

Mr. Coffey is not only an excellent attorney but he is a very kind and generous human being ! My step-son (allegedly) did something really really stupid while using a school computer, back in the summer of 2019. Mr. Coffey was kind enough to represent my step-son (we gave him $500 as a retainer and h...e did not ask for more than that; he was kind and considerate enough to dedicate a significant amount of time to dealing with the authorities on my step-sons behalf, thereby keeping them at bay), until they finally dropped the case due to insufficient evidence and Mr. Coffeys efforts. As a result, he was never arrested or had to go to court. We are eternally grateful to Mr. Coffey and will never forget what he did for T !!! I'm sorry it took so long to write this and I want you to know that T is doing great and preparing to go to college (most likely University of Florida), next year. Peter

Andrew Coffey is the BEST!

Andrew Coffey is an excellent attorney. He is highly experienced in the many aspects of criminal law. He bends over backwards to protect and fight for his clients. He is skilled, kind, compassionate, efficient, and above all an intelligent strategist who knows how to secure the best outcome for hi...s clients. He is an eloquent communicator and seasoned litigator. He is able to clearly explain the legal matters at hand and help his clients through the entire process. He is a consummate professional and I would recommend him for all cases, whether the facts are simple or complex. He analyzes all information presented and effectively wraps it up into a succinct and compelling argument that serves to safeguard the interests of his clients. He is trustworthy and generous, and that combination makes him a rare type of person and attorney. Andy, words cannot express how grateful we are for everything you have done for us.

Andrew Coffey is a qualified, helpful, and understanding lawyer there for you

I found Andy after researching lawyers for a while, and I know that I made the right choice going with him. Andy is always available when I need help and even gave me his personal cell phone number, just so I could always reach him when I needed. Andy was in the courtroom waiting for me the day of th...e hearing prepared and ready to go, he was also friendly with the judge and that definitely works in your favor. Andy has been there for me any time I have had a question, willing to spend time making sure I understand. He has gotten documents for me with no issue and without having to hound him to get back to me. There is really nothing I could complain about, Andy has been an awesome advocate for me. Andy is a responsive, helpful, and understanding attorney who clearly has his client's best interest in mind. He has been a great advocate for me, and I am sure for every one of his clients. I would recommend Andrew Coffey to any person looking for help. I know I made the right decision.
