Great Attorney

Andrew is a superb attorney and a compassionate person. He negotiated a great settlement for me, in my divorce. His fee was very reasonable and was exactly as quoted in our initial consultation. I recommend him, most highly!

You'd be blessed too

Fortunately, it’s not often one needs a divorce attorney, nor is it often planned. Ours was not and I was truly blessed to have Andy recommended to represent me. And I was even more fortunate that my husband eventually cancelled his filing. But in the meantime, I had the opportunity to work with A...ndy and see how he approached the task. The “success” of the process also depends on both lawyers, not just your own. In my case, I clearly had the better of the two. I’m sure both were competent about the law and the courts, and Andy was able to explain all of that in ways I could understand. For me, I really wanted to have the proceedings handled in a way that was fair, amicable, and respectful of our 50 years together. I sensed that if I needed him to be, Andy could be a tiger. But he also listened, sensed what mattered to me, and was there to try to respect my wishes. He offered me advice as appropriate, but where there were choices, he saw himself as there to represent what I wanted, both in tangible outcomes but also in emotional ones. I also read his communications with my husband’s lawyer, and those were gracious and respectful as well (unlike my husband’s lawyer). So I found in Andy a rare combination of talents. I was fortunate to work with him, and you would be as well. And if you don’t need a divorce attorney, Andy is also an Estate attorney. I have not yet experienced those skills, but I would expect them to be equally masterful and kind.

When is divorce a fun thing to deal with?

The answer is probably never, but working with AJ to get through my divorce made the process SO MUCH better than it could have been. There was no step along the way that I didn't feel supported for. He clearly knows the ins and outs of this field of law and was always on top of every aspect of my c...ase. He was also extremely compassionate and understanding throughout the emotional segments of the dissolution of my marriage. While I wouldn't want to do this again, I'd highly recommend AJ to anyone seeking representation in a divorce or any other family law matter.

Highly professional espically in real estate law

Andrew Babnik is a very rare lawyer - highly professional espically in real estate law, intelligent, kind, community focused and a super motivated “go to guy”! He actually answers calls directly or calls back as soon as he finishes with another client’s call. This alone is excellent service and clien...t care. Andrew listened carefully to my Mother’s situation and acknowledged her feelings of distress and determined that she was being treated improperly regarding her legal situation. He wasted no time and directly e-mailed and then persistently spoke with the other party to resolve the issues. He quickly, concisely and thoroughly resolved the legal matter while being available to my Mother 24/7 on the phone and always supportive and positive.Andrew is a rare person - integrity, grace and strong moral values to protect people from being taken advantage of. He is honest and trustworthy and made sure my mother received every penny of her savings back. I admire his ability and cannot recommend him more highly. Sincerely grateful and future client myself, Clare

No one is better!!!

I would highly recommend Andrew Babnik Jr. to anyone looking for a family lawyer. My father is deathly ill in the hospital and I needed someone to help me with all the financial & legal aspects as well as medical jargon (Power of Attorney, guardianship, bank accounts...etc). He was extremely knowledg...eable, efficient, and best of all he knew how to treat you like a person, not just another case. In this very difficult time he was able to take the stress away and let me handle what is truly important, spending time with my father. I can't thank him enough!!!
