Andrew’s a great lawyer

He was very nice and easy to talk to. He answered all my questions in a timely manner weather it was over the phone or a texted message. I would highly recommend him. He made my 1st court case not as stressful and he explained it to me and if I needed help, he would also walk me threw what I could t...ry to do if something wasn’t working right. Thanks again and keep up the good work.

Zero stars

Worst experience I've ever had. He never calls back or email back. I should have known better when it took multiple phone calls to hire him because of no calls back.

Andrew is a tremendous help in custody cases

Andrew cares deeply about his clients, and you can tell. He has been attentive, straight forward, and no nonsense down to earth attorney. He has helped us through the process of a child custody case. He is quick to answer questions and his work is thourough.

Typical lawyer

Andrew made promises he was unable to keep. Payment wise he said he would "work with me" this was untrue and I do not even think he has the ability to "work" with someone as he works under Ed Shaw. He left all the work up to the other parties lawyer i.e. writing the agreement, etc. I explained clearl...y what I wanted regarding custody, holidays, medical, child support, etc and Andrew agreed to make these desires clear to the other party. However, upon our mediation he would say things like "it's only a matter of hours difference" and encouraged me to agree to what the other party was demanding. I suppose he knew trial would be a tough expense for me and just wanted to be done with the case. He charged me thousands of dollars and honestly I could have handled it all myself as he did nothing beneficial to my case.

  • 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.
