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

Terrific during a difficult time

No one wants to be in the position of a divorce, but if you find yourself there, hire Andrew Engle. He is honest, clear, and will always look out for your best interests. He simply does not play the games and the trend of over-charging that many lawyers play. His associates and everyone in his off...ice are kind and make you feel as if you are being taken care of. His calm demeanor and honesty were consistently present and appreciated. Weathered this storm do much to my lawyer.

Fabulous lawyer and human being

I weathered a very painful two year divorce, thanks to the leadership and guidance from Andy Engle. This guy is rock solid, a soldier and a diplomat rolled into one. There were some horrible moments when Andy dropped everything to talk me off the ledge and listen to me rant and rave about bad circums...tances. I trust Andrew implicitly, he is a man of his word, he is discrete, he is smart, he is realistic and he will not always tell you what you want to hear because he is honest. I do not wish to relive this chapter of my life, but if I had to, I would rehire Andy in a heartbeat.

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.
