Posted by anonymous | May 17, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

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.

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!

Excellent Family Law Attorney

I have now been legally divorced for over a year and turning my life around. Andy was there for me through the duration of the process and didn't want to drag it out any longer then we had to. I could reach him during and after business hours, which several times I really needed. He has excellent com...munication skills and listened to my needs for the future years to come. He fought for my rights to protect me and my children moving forward. I highly recommend Andy.

Excellent attorney

I've worked with a lot of attorneys (on a professional level) and Andy ranks up there with the best. He was able to protect my interests both financially and with respect to my kids. I felt like I always had someone fighting for me and looking out for what was best for me and my kids. His advise some...how was always right on point. Andy was responsive, efficient and reasonably priced. I would recommend him to anyone.

Excellent Attorney

As a soon to be divorced dad of two small kids with a stay at home mom, I thought I would never be able to support my kids and myself and get out of debt. More importantly, I thought I would be forced to only see my kids once a week and every other weekend. Andy was able to come up with creative solu...tions that worked for everybody, while avoiding litigation and keeping costs at a minimum. Along the way he was able to structure a settlement that allowed me to have more time with my kids than I could have ever imagined. He was in my corner every step of the way and my only regret is not taking his advise more often. I would recommend Andy to anybody and everybody in need of good, affordable counsel.
