Excellent, Caring Attorney

I hired Gail to represent me in my divorce. She was with me every step of the way and explained the process thoroughly. She took the time and necessary steps involved to make sure I received what was rightfully mine. I am pleased with her work and would use her again as well as recommend her to other...s.

Words Cannot express the gratitude that I have for this lady

I am a 49 Yr. old business man and I have just gone through two of the hardest years of my life. I could not have made it through these trying times without the help of this lady. First she held my hand as she helped me gain custody of my 15 year old nephew. The way she took something that I was told... would be almost impossible and she cut through all of the red tape of the family court system and made this process seem almost easy. My nephew is 17 today and he is a great kid and I am watching him turn into a great man! Then she defended my college age daughter. As she started making bad decisions and getting herself in to situations that could have costed her future; Mrs. Andrews not only kept her record clean, she mentored her back on the proper path. My daughter is successful and doing great today. Then when I didn't think it could get any harder. Due to several unfounded allegations from another family member, my father, who is in the last stages of Parkinson's became a ward of the state. The county conservator took all of my fathers money and left us in a state of limbo. No warning, no questions asked. Mrs. Andrews saw the wrongs that were being done and she fought for me and my father diligently. Even she tried to prepare me that the outcome may not be good. Once an elderly sick person becomes a ward, I am here to tell you that it is practically impossible to reverse this ruling. She never gave up on me. She fought for me all the way. And because of her, I was granted gauradianship and conservatorship of my father and today he is safe and resting comfortably. Mrs. Andrews is a fighter, yet she is one of the most compassionate people that I have ever met in my life. I have recommended her to so many of my friends and I have watched her protect and defend each and everyone of them, from divorce cases to criminal cases. And she treats each and everyone of us like we were her own family members! I would assume that at some point in Mrs. Andrews career she has lost a case somewhere at some time. However, I haven't ever witnessed it. I will be forever indebted to Mrs. Gail Lindley Andrews and I cannot possibly express the gratitude I have for her and there are not enough stars to give her the recommendations she deserves! Take these words. The ones I haven't taken the time to put down here and take them to heart. If you are looking for the best attorney you could ever have … you have found her now! Thank You Gail! … I Love You!
