Best lawyer in town

I hired Andy to help with a difficult custody situation and he was able to help me achieve the desired result. He is a very good listener and knowledgeable in Fathers Rights. As long as you have your stuff in order and take in what he has to say. He's really strives at going the extra mile and ge...tting you that desired result. I would hire him again if the needed.

Incompetent

Claims to be a Father's Rights expert but lacks knowledge of family/civil law. Led me on a losing trail that resulted in losing the first hearing which should have been a walk in the park. He claimed the Judge didn't like him. I fired him, got a new lawyer and ended up winning custody. Because of... his lack of efforts, the litigation went on much longer than it should have.

Replied last June 24, 2017

I respectfully disagree with my client’s position here. My office provided him excellent service, great representation, and constant and clear communication. I even gave him a substantial discount on his legal bill. When he decided to hire another attorney he wrote: "I just wanted to inform you that I will no longer require your services. I appreciate all you have done. Please send me my billing information. I am happy to provide a positive review. Thank you for all your hard work. Regards"
