Divorce Successful

Andy was very diligent throughout the 18 month process to which I feel we were very successful in getting what I wanted accomplished. Although I still have to pay my spouse through the nose, it was certainly not as much as I had anticipated, and was slightly better than I expected from the law persp...ective. There were many times that things were moving slow and I was worried with what Andy was doing on my behalf especially with some of the things that he was telling me. However, now I realize that is the process and he was just being certain that I knew the worst case scenario possibilities and what a judge could do. Andy is very good at his job and very understanding and compassionate with his clients' position in a very emotional situation.

Quick claim deed

Attorney Boyer is a true expert in his field. His attention to detail, straight-forward explanations helped me receive positive outcomes both times I used him. If need be I would use him again and i would highly recommend him. Ulysses Doss

best representative for court ever

I hired Andy Boyer for some post divorce matters that included some child custody issues. Andy represented me with integrity honestly and precise legal advice. Andy has represented me better than a layer who's well known for his father's right advocacy. Andy is a straight shooter who has given me the... best legal advice and representation in court and in his office. Andy is a man of his word and I would recommend him to anyone dealing with issues where you need legal advice. Any kind of Court matters are very difficult and andy was there to handle all of difficult Parts in advising me and the best way to go about things and what could and couldnt be done

Do not hire

I hired Andrew for my divorce. He was not prepared in court and totally out of his element in that environment. The judge had to literally lead him in the language for the motions that he wanted to file. He did not due his leagal dilligance before final papers were filled and it cost me extra 40k. I ...considered sueing him for malpractice. Nice guy.... Not competent and family law

Posted by Kyle | November 18, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Professional, Personable, and easy to work with!

I sought Andrews guidance with the initial goal of gaining custody of my 3 year old child. When we first met I could tell right away he not only was knowledgeable but he had a funny personality which made me feel more comfortable talking to him about what for most people a personal subject. Regardle...ss of your reason for needing a lawyer its nice to have someone who you can easily explain things to. The first time I sat down with Andrew was for a free consultation. He was very straight forward. Based on what I was seeking he told me what to expect and a few different way that it can go. His pricing was laid out very plainly, nothing confusing to follow, and it was pretty fair i'd say. He was not one to nickle and dime you for every cent you own which is always a plus. Once I decided to hire Andrew to represent me I knew I made a good choice. He kept meeting as brief as possible for the sake of time and money but was able to accomplish the task as hand without feeling rushed. I was always in the loop about what was going on with my case. He emailed frequently and asked if I wanted this or that. Long story short I couldn't have navigated the court system without him. I ended up getting the outcome in court that I wanted which is obviously a big plus but even if I wouldn't have gotten what I wanted in court it would not have been his fault. As everyone seeking a lawyer should know, there are no guaranteed "wins" in the court system and any lawyer, including Andrew, cant promise a win. BUT with Andrew you can be assured that he is listening to you and want you want, he is giving you the best options for you, and he can do it without you feeling like you have to give him an arm and a leg.

"No one ever wants to go through a divorce. A divorce is more then merely legal theories and arguments. There is a relational aspect that cannot be ignored if you truly want the best result. Having the right attorney makes a difference. What set's Andy apart from other competent attorneys is that he genuinely cares for his clients. Andrew Boyer is an attorney that you can trust and I strongly recommend him."
