An Outstanding Advocate - Simply the best

Andrew is an outstanding advocate, and an even better person. It is possible to achieve an excellent outcome in your divorce without resorting to shady dealings, unprofessional behavior or ethical lapses - as long as you're represented by Andrew. He was always honest with me, always honest with the... Court and always honest with opposing counsel...and he still obtained a result that others told me I couldn't expect to obtain. Andrew is busy, but he always made time for me and my case, and I was always impressed with his response times. In the courtroom, it was clear that Andrew had the Judge's attention, admiration and respect. Andrew's reputation is evidenced by the other recommendations and endorsements he has on this site. And, while I had heard that I could expect to pay a premium, the reality is that my ex's legal fees were significantly more than mine... and her lawyer charged $75-100 less PER HOUR. Watching Andrew handle my case from start to finish, it was clear that he doesn't waste a minute of time. He is a quick study, he clearly knows what he does and does not need to do, and he knows how to cut to the chase. Andrew never sacrificed his caring and compassion while doing so. I always felt as though Andrew and his staff cared about me, wanted the best for me, and worked hard to get it. Throughout my case, Andrew used members of his firm to assist him in my representation. I can tell you that everyone in the Grossman firm I worked with deserve to be there. It was evident that Andrew had the utmost faith and confidence in everyone in his firm, and rightly so. Not every case will require Andrew as the lead lawyer. Hire Andrew's firm, and you're hiring a lawyer of the highest quality. I have worked with a number of lawyers in the past (business, estate planning, real estate and tax) and I believe that Andrew is the best I've ever hired. He worked hand in hand with my business lawyers. Andrew clearly had their respect as well. in fact, i don't think that my lead business lawyer expected Andrew to have such a deep understanding of business valuation issues. What I learned throughout my case is that a great divorce lawyer needs to be a great all-around lawyer, with a solid understanding of many areas of law. No one can be an expert in every field. Andrew knows when to give advice, and when to ask for it. If you're going through a divorce, you can do no better than to seek out Andrew.

Best Lawyer in Town

Andrew handled my divorce and he was extremely compassionate and caring and put myself and my families best interests first, but at the same time he was very aggressive and strong while providing results that exceeded my expectations. Andrew is very dedicated and provided excellent service and time...ly responses. One of his great qualities was how articulate and settlement minded he was. Everyone in his office that I came in contact with made me feel comfortable and were extremely helpful and professional.

"There are only a handful of top notch Divorce / Family Law lawyers in Central Ohio. There is no doubt in my mind that Andrew Grossman and the Grossman Law Firm is on every lawyers "Go To" list. Andrew has a knack for working efficiently and wisely for his clients. I've heard other lawyers say, "Hire Andrew before your spouse does". I would agree."

"A lot of lawyers claims they devote their practice to divorce work but I've found that very few are truly versed in the field and effective counselors and advocates on behalf of their clients who are going through a divorce. Andrew Grossman is one of those very few who are indeed that good. His knowledge of Ohio law, his compassion for his clients and his ability to simply get fantastic results separate him from the pact. Clients are in great hands when they go to Andrew for help. I highly recommend him."

"Andrew is an elite lawyer. He is an expert in the law, and he is an expert in dealing with people -- clients and adveraries alike. He is an effective and intimidating advocate, not by displaying superficial aggression or arrogance, but rather because he possesses the calm confidence that he is the better advocate in any domestic relations case."
