Posted by Robert | October 14, 2014 | Criminal Defense

Great, knowledgeable, trustworthy and reliable Lawyer!

Andrew Korduba is a very knowledgeable, down to earth attorney who gave me guidance and direction from the very first phone call. I had multiple cases brought against me and he kept me updated as the process continued. From the very beginning, it was obvious that he is experienced in defending peopl...e charged with felonies, criminal and civil issues. He explained all of the options available to me with each case one at a time. He isn't pushy or defensive. He treated me as a valued customer, not as a number. He is an excellent lawyer and I am very lucky to have chosen him to represent me!

Posted by anonymous | February 28, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Do NOT hire

Very rude and condescending. Did not inform me about anything throughout the process. Sent me documents and told me to read them myself but never explained anything. Would not make eye contact or sit near me in courtroom waiting area. I asked for explanations since I had never been through the div...orce process. He explained NOTHING and was extremely rude whenever I asked for clarification. I never felt like he was working FOR me. He remained impartial in the courtroom and never advocated for me as a mother. Everything I asked him to do required me to pay more after he had already charged me a $7,500 retainer. Do NOT recommend him at all. He may know the law but part of his job is explaining the process to the client and making sure they understand what is occurring. He NEVER did that and acted like I was burdening him if I asked any questions.

Re: DON'T give him any money!

Your response left quite a bit out. The video the police showed me was of me continuing to drive past. It did not show where I had stopped. THAT'S why I wanted you to get the video because the bus driver did not turn the red lights on until I was beside the bus. The reason I was arguing with you is ...because you hadn't done any representing me by finding out IF there was any way of determining WHEN the red lights were turned on! I did not LIE about my case. If you had done your follow up and gotten the video before we went to court, I would have determined that the video would not help me prove my case. If you cannot discern when someone is angry then you are in the wrong business. I did not thank you. I refused to talk to you. Perhaps you thought I was thanking you when I thanked the person I paid the fine to and asked her a question.

DON'T give him any money!

i found out I was charged for passing a school bus. i was very distraught because I had never been charged with anything before. going by the reviews, I called Mr. Korduba. He convinced me there was something I could do. The only correspondence I got from him was an email saying his office could get... a video of the offense. When my court date came up, he had not even done that! He was very short with me and did not care to hear anything I had to say. He was absolutely useless. He said at that time, we could go to trial and fight it, and I said "Why would I pay you more money, when you didn't do the least amount of follow up?" i have waited a few months to write this review because I didn't want to sound so angry. I really deserve my money back!

You and I both know that is simply not true. The police officer showed you the video before he gave you the ticket, and, I personally showed you the video AGAIN at the courthouse on the day of your court trial. We watched it several times together. Despite seeing the video TWICE, you argued with the police officer AND then my office that you "stopped for the bus....when the lights were on." No, you didn't. We also emailed and texted you information about your case before the court trial date, and, I agreed to represent you at trial that day for "no additional fee" despite our signed written contract stating otherwise. I was not "short" with you at court: you simply wanted to continue arguing facts that were not true and avoid taking responsibility for your actions or proceed with a contested trial to court. Nevertheless, I am sorry to hear you feel that I was "useless" and surprised to see your negative review here months later when you "thanked me" for my time and helping you and never mentioned that you were unhappy or wanted your money back. I'm also glad you waited a few months and are no longer angry about the situation. The lesson to be learned? Don't lie to your lawyer about facts of your case. Tell them everything: the good, the bad and the ugly. Be HONEST. Otherwise, your lawyer cannot help you in court and will get "blindsided" with the "real" evidence. Good luck and best wishes.

10/10 would NOT recommend

Absolutely HORRIFIC experience with Andrew Korduba. Extremely unprofessional, condescending, and argumentative with us after he took $10,000. Apparently it’s not okay to ask questions and want to be informed about potential outcomes that you could be facing. I would NEVER recommend him to anyone. No ...one deserves to be screamed at by someone they have paid a TON of money to help them.

This is a FAKE REVIEW: NOT A CLIENT. This person lied to the police and got her own husband arrested on very serious Felony charges. Her husband hired me to DEFEND the case AGAINST HER; and he is still my client. She came to my office extremely upset and confrontational from the start; wanting to fight and argue with me about how to “get it all dismissed right now.” When I tried to explain the law and legal process to her she became even more enraged and unreasonable. She was warned several times to calm down and eventually removed from my office due to her behavior. I have never had to tell someone to leave my office in 25 years of practice: she is the first ever. I still represent her husband and look forward to cross-examining her on the witness stand at trial. When she behaves the same way it will be an easy “not guilty” for my client. So, if you want a lawyer that will not be bullied or intimated by anyone, anywhere or anytime, please call my office for help. Thank you! Attorney Korduba
