Robert J. Andretz

I contacted Rob after receiving a threat from a hospital that hired me through a third party agency for a travel nursing contract. My original start date had gotten pushed back after I found out alarmingly my documentation and my paperwork required for the job position was not submitted properly for ...the job by my travel agency. After trying to comply with keeping up to date with required documents, I had realized to comply with the full truth my visa not failed to show the accurate information regarding the contract information that was issued to me by the American border patrol through NAFTA. the original message I received from the chief of nursing from the hospital was what had happened to me was enough to form a formal complaint to the board of nursing because I could no longer comply with the job contact I signed to work. terrified, I contacted Rob who wrote a formal letter to the agency and the hospital almost immediately after I received the email. He immediately made my case a priority to stop it from escalating and spoke up on my behalf as my legal representative. At the beginning of everything, he would check in with me and update me on how things could pan out from his knowledgeable experience with nurses having to deal with boards for formal complaints, but as the weeks turned into months we kept in communication in points of time where we carefully decided together what was the best for the situation. after 2 years Rob signed off on my case when no formal complaints were made against my license. Rob remained kind, thoughtful, helpful, and was very calming and trusting in a very high anxiety, moment in my life where I felt like things were going to get really bad. I recommend Rob to anyone, he is truly the best at what he does and wants the best outcomes for his clients. I am so grateful for Rob's support during a rocky time in my life and I know I am not the only one. Thanks for helping me move forward during a difficult time in my life with your knowledge and background. I would recommend him to anyone in the same situation, who needs someone with articulate knowledge and expertise on nursing licenses related issues.

I received a letter from LARA stating there was an allegation against my professional license. Chapman Law Group has an excellent reputation for defending medical professionals, including physicians like myself, in these cases and they came highly recommended to me by a colleague. Receiving that lett...er in the mail was one of the worst days of my life, but after I called their offices and they connected me immediately to a phone consultation with Mr. Robert Andretz I felt like I was in good hands. He clearly explained the process to me and communicated with me the best way to put together documents and testimonials to put together the best defense against this allegation. He prepared me for the interview with the investigator as well. Yesterday Mr. Andretz contacted me with excellent news- he received a letter from LARA which indicates that my professional licensing investigation matter is being closed and that no action is being taken against my license as a result of the investigation. This means that there will not be an Administrative Complaint entered against my license and I have Mr. Andretz and The Chapman Law Group to thank for this positive result. I have recommended another physician with the same allegation to The Chapman Law Group. I would highly recommend any health care professionals to use attorneys that specialize in concerns specific to healthcare professionals like Mr. Robert Andretz.

I found Mr. Andretz while searching for an attorney online after I had an unfortunate situation in which I was arrested for an OWI in Oakland County, with hearing and sentencing at the 47th district court in Farmington Hills. Initially I had actually retained a different attorney that I had found onl...ine and contacted. That attorney basically told me there was nothing I could do in the situation to better the outcome and the best thing for me to do would be to plead guilty and accept the consequences. I did not accept this and later found Mr. Andretz online who told me every case is different and that it was possible to have a more positive outcome. He was kind and insightful from our very first conversation. It was clear to me from the first conversation I had with Rob that he was very knowledgeable and experienced when it came to DUI cases involving healthcare professionals which is why I decided to hire him. I am a resident physician with a previous OWI that I was not convicted of in another state. Mr. Andretz was with me every step of the way and put my worst fears to rest regarding the situation. He was very insightful on how to impress the prosecutor, judge and probation department. Because of his work and recommendations throughout this entire process, my charge was reduced to that of operating while visibly impaired. I was sentenced to 1 year of probation with minimal testing and community service. I received no jail time. Mr. Andretz further helped me in reporting my conviction to the medical board which was absolutely necessary. He drafted a letter of conviction and to date I have not been reprimanded by the board. I again had an unfortunate situation in which I violated the terms of probation 3 months after sentencing. With the guidance and help of Mr. Andretz I again avoided jail time, in fact I avoided any new repercussions from the violation per the court. I would recommend Mr. Robert Andretz to any friend or family member that required like services. He is a trust worthy attorney and it is more than evident that he truly cares about his clients.

November 2017 I was arrested and charged with operating while intoxicated in tawas city in iosco county. I consulted Rob and a local attorney. I was concerned about not using a local attorney. I thought staying with the local gave me the best chance of getting a favorable outcome to protect my caree...r as a CRNA. However after months of poor communication and very little movement in my case, I questioned the local attorney about what he was doing in my case. He suggested I hire another attorney. I again turned to Rob Andretz. He immediately agreed to take over my case even though it was months later. He promised no outcomes but went to work. First off, his communication is excellent. He’s always available or will promptly reply to correspondence when he can. When my BAC came back as 0.168 late in proceedings, I was afraid that little would be able to be done to help my situation. Plus, the prosecutor was upset that I had changed attorneys late in proceedings. Rob again was very honest and open to me about my situation but remained diligent in my defense. The prosecutor offered operating while visually impaired. I did not accept at that time because Rob assured me he had more evidence he needed to review. When we returned for my pre trail hearing, the prosecutor offered disorderly conduct-drunk and careless driving. Rob negotiated disturbing the peace and careless driving which is very important because it was a non alcohol related charge. Rob is a excellent attorney with great communication. If you find yourself choosing between a local attorney and Rob, don’t make the mistake I did but instead go with Mr Andretz from the beginning!!!

Rob was very responsive to all questions and concerns I had throughout the process. I was treated with respect and as a human being. You might expect this, but with the court's complete disregard to your life outside the courtroom, you will come to appreciate having someone who treats you well in t...he process. Rob also did a good job of explaining the process from start to finish and my options along the way. He listened to all of my questions and encouraged me to share anything that was concerning me. Rob's willingness to meet me where I was and not ask me to make unnecessary travel was very helpful. I would highly recommend him, but hope I never have to use his services again.
