Awesome Lawyer!

Its always nerve wracking to hire a lawyer. I needed one for a case that was coming up so I talked to several different lawyers some of whom were referrals. Andrew had great reviews and seemed to have a better handle on my situation than the other guys I talked to. On a leap of faith I hired him. He ...asked for payment up front which I understood but was hesitant about. He worked very hard for me, had great advise and always communicated. It took 18 months because of covid and he never gave up. He finally got my case dismissed against all odds. I couldn't be more happy with his performance!!!

Outstanding Service

Andrew's service was nothing short of outstanding. From the first consultation to the final court appearance, I never felt out of the loop. Andrew made it clear he was always available if I had any questions regarding my case. Andrew was able to deliver the outcome I was hoping for. I would (will) re...commend Andrew to anyone seeking legal representation.

DWI

Andrew and Poole law office kept my best interest at heart and were very focused on trying to get me the best deal they could. Andrew was very good and describing everything and every step of the process very clearly and was available at various other times for questions and concerns I had. Andrew wa...s able to get my DWI charge down to careless driving with a year of court probation and a fine. He did a great job!

Handled My Divorce Efficiently and Kindly

From start to finish I was enormously pleased with the way Andrew Poole handled my divorce. He listened to what was important to me and delivered exactly that. He went the extra mile every step of the way. He was always accessible and extremely accomodating and flexible with scheduling apppointmen...ts. He was detail oriented and brought to my attention many things I would not have considered in a divorce. He always keep my best interest in mind. My divorce was handled quickly without some of the lengthy delays I've seen many go through. I am 100% satisfied with my custody agreement and financial situation post divorce. I was very happy Andrew's rates, this divorce costed less than I had anticipated. He handled delicate situations professionally and with kindness. He made an unpleasant situation as painless as possible. He is an excellent advocate and I would go back to him in a second if I needed any legal representation in the future.

Would recommend to anyone!

Andrew Poole was the first attorney I have hired. He was always available to speak with me and always returned my e-mails right away. His price was incredibly reasonable especially considering he was representing me on two different cases. I was charged with hit and run on an unattended vehicle, four...th degree DUI, 2 misdemeanor minor consumptions, a fleeing the police charge, as well as open container and public intoxication. After two pre-trial hearings I was able to resolve the matter via Andrew's fantastic plea bargaining. One of my cases (1 minor consumption, fleeing the police, public intoxication, and open bottle) was dismissed altogether. I ended up pleading to the fourth degree DUI and 1 minor consumption (which was amended to a petty misdemeanor). We benefited from a change in prosecution as he was much more willing to work with Mr. Poole than the County Attorney who represented the state in the 1st pre-trial hearing had been. Seeing as I am underage and blew .14 the night of my DUI this was a fantastic outcome and I am so happy that I hired Andrew Poole to defend me. He was also more than willing to take my case to trial in order to try and fight the DUI as there were some unusual circumstances for no additional cost however I ultimately decided to take the plea.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
