Fantastic and Trustworthy Attorney!

Andrew is a skilled attorney who knows a great deal about the divorce law. I got nothing but straight answers upfront without any sugarcoating. He gives honest perspective on odds and makes common-sense recommendations on issues. He did everything he could to make the case as seamless and cost-eff...ective as possible. I highly recommend Andrew.

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

DIPLOMATIC, REASONABLE & CONSCIENTIOUS

Andy was extremely honest and flexible with regards to working with me and my ex-wife through our divorce. We worked with one lawyer (Andy) as we were able to negotiate nearly 100% of the terms of our agreement. Andy's guidance was always delivered with an understanding of our true needs as they re...late to the economics of a divorce (which can be quite costly.) In providing the balance and insights on how to best work together and with an attorney, Andy made the process very comfortable...The judge even complimented him!

Fantastic Attorney

Andy was incredible throughout the entire process of my divorce. He provided timely follow up discussed all the options and gave me honest feedback when I needed it most in terms of what direction I should go and the odds of the outcome for me and my daughter. I would highly recommend Andy as he is/...was professional, courteous and understanding through the worst time in my life.
