Understanding-Patient- Operates with Integrity

Andy was very patient with me I felt like he understood my priorities, which was and is, MY KIDS, as he is a father himself. He was patient. He reviewed my options with me and did not try to turn my situation into complete chaos, which it could have. He was Extremely fair with me and I will co...ntinue to recommended him to anyone I know who has the unfortunate situation of having to go through a divorce, especially with children involved.

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.

Divorce done

After interviewing a handful of lawyers, I hired Andy to handle my divorce. From the beginning, he was clear, direct, and helpful. My now ex- was manipulative and bullying throughout, and I always felt like Andy had my back. He was assertive without being being more aggressive than was necessary, whi...ch would have further inflamed the situation. He could have dragged things out a lot longer, but was clear with me about my options. I was clueless and overwhelmed going in, and Andrew was a much needed and powerful advocate.

Excellent Work by Andy Engle - Premarital Agreement and Seperation

Andy handled both my premarital agreement and my divorce. Andy's thoughtful approach to the premarital agreement allowed the separation process to be direct and straightforward. Andy always provided sage advice, would get back to me in a timely fashion and moved the process along as quickly as possib...le. As a client, it often feels many attorney's feel their main job is to bill their client rather than settle a matter quickly. This was not the case with Andy, I've recommended him to friends who are getting married or divorced and will continue to in the future.

Get the best!

Andy Engle did an excellent job representing me for my recent divorce. My life was in danger and turmoil and he treated me with respect and understanding. Andy was calming and reassuring thought out the entire process. After 28 years of marriage, I did not know who to rely on and trust. Any fear, ...I had diminished quickly with an honest and thorough explanation of what was ahead for me. He was responsive and encouraging. I was keep informed of all correspondence with opposing counsel. So no surprises. I for one feel blessed that I was represented by someone with such integrity and a high regard for the law. The professionalism and flexibility of working within his firm with other partners for an outcome to my highest good will always be appreciated and regarded. I would not hesitate for a second in recommending his services to anyone looking for the very best representation in the most difficult and emotional time of their lives. As my grandmother always said “you are the company you keep” when you surround yourself with best you can only receive the best. You are a credit to the legal profession. Forever with gratitude and appreciation
