This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

A True Warrior For Justice

I have had experiences with more then half a dozen other attorneys in this area. Andrea is by far the best. She will fight the fight when most others will settle for a plea and a quick resolution. I would not hesitate to hire her again and I have already referred friends of mine to her. My name is Jo...hn Korponay

Diamond in the rough

There are few if any attorneys in Sarasota, if not Florida, that are willing to stand up against the adversity that permeates our legal system in regards to integrity. I was so happy, grateful, and lucky to have found this attorney! She is one in a million-intelligent, honorable, and ethical.

Client Review

Andrea saved my butt. I thought I was going to prison, but she pulled some rabbit out of a hat and I don't even now what she did but all I know is I went home to my family.

Dismissed on a technacality

My name is Tom Burnette,Andrea represented me recently on a felony case regarding the local Sherriff,FDLE,Police and FWC..Ive had lawyers in the past and can say she is a league of her own,she is quick on her feet and her legal team has all case laws per laptop as the state had a hard book to read th...rew,She made the state look like amatures and outdated and she fought hard and brought so many case laws out the cops were not allowed to say anything,pretty much... When the state rested,she didnt even have to put me on the stand..She stood up and presented case law for Venue and rested! the sate was dumbfounded and the judge was looking over it hard,the judge decided to let it go to the jury and we would have a hearing in 2 days regarding this,if im found guilty.... The jury deliberated for 3 hours and came back with a "Guilty" I was allowed to leave untill the next hearing in 2 days,and when that day came the state tried everything it could and the judge said his hands are tied on this and he must turn my Guilty plee and adjudacate me Not Guilty due to a technacality! Im not a bad person that "got away with one",im a 36 year old family man with no priors that used my freedom of speech to the fullest and the cops did not like that and started to harrass me every weekend till I said 1 bad thing out of frustration and the state ran with it...Andrea is not affraid to go against the state,the judge and definatly not the L.E.O! She saved me and my family and I would recomend her 100%....
