Robert J. Andretz

In 2020 I got an OWI. My original lawyer was not doing a great job with the case so I hired Rob Andretz to assist. Rob did a wonderful job helping me through the OWI case. He recommended several things that my first lawyer did not that eventually led to me receiving NO PROBATION and only having to ta...ke an online course and pay a small fine. 3 years later I received a letter from LARA asking me to be evaluated for HPRP (a program intended to help health professionals with true substance abuse disorders). I did some research and realized how invasive and costly this program can be. I knew I did not have any substance abuse problems, but after researching about how this program works I decided to once again hire Rob to help guide me through the process. While navigating through the HPRP intake process, Rob was able to explain how everything from the initial phone call, to the substance abuse evaluation would go. He is an excellent lawyer who makes time to take your calls, answer your texts, and help put your mind at ease while going through a stressful time. Rob's experience in the healthcare law field over they years has allowed him to become familiar with many of the HPRP evaluators. When I received my list of 3 evaluators, Rob immediately let me know who to stay away from and more importantly who the best evaluator was to receive our desired outcome. Today I just heard back that I do not have to undertake this long tedious program-and I credit that to my fabulous lawyer, Rob Andretz. Thank you for all of your help.

Robert Andretz served as my attorney for four years while dealing with Michigan Medical Board Complaints against my license. When the state finally issued their complaints, Mr. Andretz was able to call me after hours on a Friday night to see how I was coping with it. That call helped alleviate a lo...t of anxiety I had built up of the unknown expectations of the Michigan Medical Board statements, and ultimately allowed the settlement to be a monetary one. This meant a lot to me to allow me to continue to practice medicine without the loss of board certification and loss of insurance accreditation. He prepared me thoroughly for a hearing we eventually did not require. Mr. Andretz was the consummate professional and his personal knowledge of the personnel and workings of the Medical Board made a huge difference in my case. Any health professional with a board complaint would benefit from having Mr. Andretz on their legal team. Chapman Law Group has a strong voice for justice with Mr. Robert Andretz.

Robert is an excellent attorney for health care professionals that have been charged with operating while intoxicated (OWI) or other related offenses. He was excellent in explaining the process to me and making me aware of the options I had. Robert was able to handle my case in Westland, Michigan w...ith confidence and professionalism. I was very concerned about maintaining my health care profession license, and Robert walked me through each step that would occur and how I could mitigate any negative actions against my license. My legal outcome, and licensing outcome, was more positive than I had originally thought it would be, and I am so glad Robert was my choice for guiding me through this process. Robert is an excellent communicator with his clients and he makes you feel like he actually cares about you as a person. Also, Robert will help you report your conviction to the Michigan State Board of Nursing and show you how to handle the HPRP referral process. I highly recommend Robert to other health care professionals who are facing OWI charges or other alcohol/drug related offenses in Michigan.

I recently utilized the services of the Chapman Law group. Specifically, I employed the legal council of Rob Andretz to represent me on a legal issue that in my opinion is driven by somewhat archaic laws being enforced by the DEQ. Rob is a thoughtful and well versed attorney who was able to navigate ...through this legal issue I experienced in the Grand Traverse area and the 86th District Court through perseverance and clear understanding of the legal system. I appreciate that Rob took the time to thoroughly research the details surrounding my case as well as opportunities to present options that met my expressed outcome when we initially discussed my case. After understanding my concern and completing his research, Rob successfully worked with opposing council to mitigate my issue and arrive at a favorable result for my case. I would highly recommend Rob and the Chapman legal team.

Healthcare Professional in-training with a limited educational license. Charged with DUI, first offense. The details of the event were not in my favor, as the situation was an accident involving a stop-sign and a BAC of 0.13. I was completely at a loss about how to proceed after this happened.... I was worried about my professional license, career, everything and anything. I researched lawyers and came across Mr. Andretz pretty quickly. His knowledge of the legal system was demonstrated by setting reasonable expectations for me given my situation, educating me on the process patiently, communicating with the court and the prosecutor on my behalf, and then preparing me for sentencing. He was thoughtful, empathetic, super flexible and available for all of my anxious questions. He takes into consideration who you are, and makes sure the court understands your character. He encourages you to take the appropriate steps prior to sentencing, while anticipating what the court and LARA may ask of you. He stays ahead of the game in order to put you in the best position. He also submitted my charges on my behalf to LARA, as he was familiar with that as well. I ended with a reduced charge, no points on my license, no probation, and no jail time. I recommend him strongly and faithfully. Initial Charge: (Operating While Intoxicated). Reduced Charge: (Allowing an Intoxicated Person to Operate a Motor Vehicle). Court (65A District Court in Saint Johns)
