Posted by Marcelo | November 02, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Lenghty but worthy process.

I was referred to Andrew by a friend who had a successful divorce process and at first contact I could tell I was going to be taken care. Andrew and his team were attentive, helped me get through the difficult parts of the divorce and always let me make the decision that I thought would meet my needs.... I got a lot very angry messages from my ex and Andrew helped keep my cool and get through the process. At the end, I was able to get closure in less than a year, got a fair outcome, even though I had to pay a substantial amount to my ex. But the most important is that I am now free and I thank Andrew for getting me to this point. I highly recommend Andrew's service.

Tough Attorney

Andrew went to battle for me during my divorce,and was able to save me quite a bit of settlement money that I had to give my ex-wife. He is tough,straight shooter,honest,caring

Awful

We ended up losing more time with my stepkids and forced to pay more. We were told so many lies, continued dates after continued dates, promises that never happened, then a 13,000 bill. All we wanted was more time with the kids, and we lost that. I don't recommend this law firm or lawyer at all

Felt Protected!!!!!

Biggest thing for me was the fact that I felt protected with Andy, I trusted him. Not only was he honest and affordable, but most importantly he was smart, effective and got me everything I wanted and more. I got my 3 beautiful boys as much as possible, which was all I truly wanted! I liked Andy ...from beginning to end, I would hire him all over again if I had too. I was scared, over whelmed, and confused. Andy was ALWAYS there for me, email, text, phone,etc......... I am willing to answer any question to help making a decision. ANDY IS THE BEST! His whole crew is the best and still are even after divorce finalized.

Stop your search! Most professional and fair attorney in the area!

Finding Andy as an attorney was a gift after several really poor experiences with other attorneys. Andy is extremely knowledgable, empathetic to your situation and is solution and resolution orientated all while supporting his client. I could not ask for a better experience! My situation was o...riginally a very complicated and tense divorce situation and Andy jumped in after another attorney and resolved the matters after being in court for nearly 2 years - Andy is conflict resolution oriented and if a settlement is possible Andy will help both sides control their emotions and simply deal with the situation more logically and in my case was mostly about money! Andy is simply the best and anyone who is looking for attorney can rest easy if they retain Andy has it helps de-stress situations and resolves them! This Attorney represents the profession with the class, dignity and respect that other Attorney's can aspire to be! If you hire Andy you are in great hands and will have little to worry about - interacting with Andy has been one of the best experinces I have ever had with an Attorney and would recommend him highly if you need your stress lowered, your situation resolved and it not costing your house to do so! He's the best - hire with confidence from an Attorney who actually cares about his clients!
