VERY BAD EXPERIENCE

I absolutely WOULD NOT recommend Andrew Skier for any legal work. The longest conversation he had with me was to get his fee. After that not only did not I not hear from him, HE MISSED A COURT APPOINTMENT AND I HAD A WARRENT ISSUED. He did nothing for my case other than a court program which I could ...have clearly done myself. On the date of my rescheduled court hearing he had another attorney show up who knew nothing about my case and stayed on his phone the entire time. My court date was 3 weeks ago and Andrew still has not called or followed up with me on the outcome. SAVE YOUR MONEY. THIS GUY DOES NOT WORK FOR HIS FEE.

"Andrew is a dedicated, experienced criminal defense attorney. Experience is more than the number of years you have been an attorney. It is the number of cases you have tried coupled with a dedication to improving your skills over the life of your practice. Having known Andrew for many years, I know he has tried many cases in state and federal court, with great success, and that he remains focused on continually honing his legal skills even after all his years in practice. He is well respected by prosecutors and others in the profession. I regularly endorse Andrew by recommending him to potential clients. He is one of the best, and that is what you need when your freedom is at stake."

  • 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.
