Excellent Attorney

Mr. Andrews is an excellent litigation attorney whom I would recommend without hesitation. We really appreciate the efforts on our behalf and the results. Case Dismissed!

One of a kind attorney

I worked for Mr. Andrews for a number of years as well as personally used his services for my own needs. Mr. Andrews excels in many aspects of law, but has truly stunned me with his diligence and passion in criminal law. I used his services to assist in fighting a ticket I was given for allegedly... speeding in a school zone. Mr. Andrews was able to get the ticket thrown out with one specific question he asked to the police officer who wrote the ticket. I have witnessed him in trial on a case where the State was attempting to give a young man life in prison. He successfully proved the man’s innocence on the main charge, therefore taking the possibility of life off of the table. In addition to criminal law, any case he takes on, I have witnessed him truly caring about the client as a person. This is hard to find in this industry. Peter is definitely a top notch attorney, will give his honest opinion about a case and will do everything in his power to obtain an amicable outcome for his client. Sadly, what some people don’t understand is, an attorney cannot rewrite the law, they take the law, along with applicable court rulings and make a case for their client. Their job is to ensure that the client’s legal rights are protected and ruled upon accordingly.

Dr. Peter J Esseff

My wife and I bought a house in Tampa, FL in 2000, and in a later refi with Countrywide, experienced their serious fraudulent activity which led to foreclosure at the hands of Bank of America.. Thanks to Peter Andrews' constant diligent work on our behalf in a suit against Bank of America, (my wi...fe died in Dec, 2017) he has managed for almost seven years to keep us (me) in our residence. He is the most professional and most caring man I have ever met. I would recommend him to anyone who have had, or currently are, experiencing problems that deal with possible foreclosure on their home. Early on in our dealings with him, my wife decided to get a second opinion from one of the largest attorney-firms in Tampa. When she described how Peter Andrews was handling our case, they told us that we were fortunate to have him on our side. Throughout our relationship not only has he managed to further our interest against the giant BOA, but he has shown patience, empathy and profound sympathy with our case. I cannot thank him enough.

Not Reliable

I retained this Attorney for a Family Law Hearing, the next day; he went on vacation, and did not appear at the Hearing. As a result; it was decided against me. For more than 3 Months after that; I called and emailed him, and he never responded, so I filed a Bar Complaint against him. It took ove...r $3000 in legal fees to correct his Mistake. I would not recommend this lawyer.

"I went to trial with Peter, which is the most important thing attorneys do. Peter and I frequently won and otherwise achieved very positive outcomes for our clients. Peter is reliable, knowledgeable, and most importantly - fearless, when it comes to trying cases. He does not blink when faced with the resources of the State Attorney's Office, or with the authority of the Judge. Peter is simply a fighter, and I always want him on my team."

"Peter is one of the good guys. Simply put, he is a brilliant, gifted and accomplished lawyer. Aside from being a masterful trial attorney with an impressive knowledge base in a variety of practice areas he is a caring and compassionate person. However, he is a fierce advocate for his client that obtains superb results. EVERY client I have referred to him sings his praises and holds him in the highest regard. I have ultimate confidence in Peter and have had the sincere pleasure of working together on complex and heated cases. Peter finds a way to get the job done."
