Excellent legal representation

We engaged Andrew Mayoras when it became clear that a conflictual family situation had developed that would require legal guidance. Andrew's knowledge about elder law and trusts were invaluable. He was very responsive and because of our interest in being involved; he shared much of the process with... us and allowed us to provide input to documents. He took the time to educate us about the law, process, and what to expect. Even though our situation had unusual twists and turns, Andrew believed and understood our position and was effective in advocating for our rights; and ultimately winning our trial case based upon the facts. He was always respectful, polite, and sensitive to all the difficult dynamics at play. There are many traits that I valued in Andrew, but his ethics and integrity I greatly appreciated. This was evident not only in his counsel to us, but in his court appearances and settlement meetings; a stark contrast to the other side's attorneys. I would not hesitate in recommending him to others.

Andy Mayoras — Why Hire Anyone Else?

If you are looking for a calm, collected and confident attorney who is experienced, knowledgeable, caring, trustworthy and accessible, Andy Mayoras is the one. Any attorney can win an easy case. But not all cases are easy. Most are not. Not everything goes as planned. Sometimes, things go bad. When ...things get crazy, tempers flare and the chips are down, Andy is right there with a calm voice of reason and experience. He knows when to speak up in court when he needs to and knows when to shut up when you are winning. In addition, Andy is accessible on evenings and weekends and is dedicated to helping his clients. His work ethic and client compassion are exemplary. Plus, he favored my position over my brother's position (also a client) once so you know he is smart!

Excellent help for people dealing with Elder Law issues

Mr. Mayoras was an amazing help to me recently. I was faced with legal and personal issues dealing with a parent recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's. He worked with both me and my parent ( who had developed the disease) as to what options were available to keep her safe and protected. Mr. Mayoras ...laid out several options and gave me his candid opinions on which options had the best chance of success. He was candid in his opinions, showed great respect and concern to not only me, but also my parent as well. Having never expected to face a situation like this in my life, Mr. Mayoras took great care in answering all of my questions to ensure my full understanding of the situation, process and associated costs. He was readily available whenever I needed to contact him. Elder Law and Alzheimers are ever growing issues in the United States. It is crushing to have to slowly lose a loved one this mind ravaging illness. I highly recommend Mr. Mayoras as a trust worthy attorney who is very current on all the issues involving Elder Law. By writing this review, it is my way of thanking him for helping me through a difficult period and opening my eyes to how best to deal with an elderly parent when legal issues present themselves.

Highly Competent

I would not hesitate to recommend Andy after he handled my claim for breach of fiduciary duty. He carefully listened to all my concerns, kept me informed and got me a great result without having to go to trial.
