Andrew M. Canu

My experience with Canu Torrice Law, and Andrew Canu specifically, has been beyond TERRIBLE. Andrew manipulated me into paying a huge retainer urgently without ever mentioning that it would be nonrefundable until after the transaction was processed. He has been impossible to get ahold of for weeks a...t a time, consistently over-billed me, and even charged the same rate for work done by his legal assistant as if he had done it himself. As an example, I have been billed $420 by Andrew for sending a 342 word email, a 112 word follow up a week later when he never replied, and an 85 word response from him. Apparently Andrew thinks it’s reasonable to charge an hour and 24 minutes to read and send a worthless reply to an email that you only had to send because he was MIA. Sadly, this has been Andrew’s entire MO. I have been billed almost $1,400 by this firm without ever actually having done any work on my case or having an initial meeting. I have worked with so many attorneys, and none have ever even approached how bad Andrew Canu has been. And I see another reviewer came here to say the same thing. Since Thanksgiving, Andrew has completely refused to communicate with me regarding a refund of my retainer. I’ve gone weeks without any response from him or anyone at his office, and the only way I could even get him to reply to an email was by sending a fax—yes, a fax—to his office. This level of unprofessionalism is unacceptable, and I deeply regret ever hiring him. Save yourself the headache and avoid this attorney at all costs.

Andrew Canu is a great lawyer. He is very knowledgeable, prompt, and easy to work with. He has always been available to answer any questions that I have had regarding many different cases that he has and has not worked on for me. I really appreciate him being there for me when I have needed him. His ...prices are very affordable.
