Great Attorney=Happy Client

From the first meeting with Andy I felt very comfortable with him. I immediately felt I could trust him. He is very patient and a very good listener, and therefore replied to every one of my questions, requests and needs throughout my case (even while on vacation or during off hours). He was very in...formative , explained many legal terms and also why certain petitions would not be the best way to go. Andy is a great attorney and, in my opinion, a great person. My case is finally over and I am happy with the final results!

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.

My Divorce

  I really appreciate all the efforts and work Andy put into my divorce. He made me feel at ease every step of the way.  I felt like I was in good hands in the work Andy did for me. My divorce was finalized from start to finish in two months with the help of Andy's determination and persistence in... my case. For me trust is a huge thing, the trust I had in Andy is beyond words. Now I’m able to move on to the next chapter of my life, defiantly happier and hopefully more prosperous.  I would recommend Andy and his firm seeking advice into divorce.

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.

Andrew M. Engle, Partner, Divorce Attorney, Davis/Freidman LLC, Chicago, IL

As my divorce is still yet to finalize all items involved, a final comprehensive review is not possible during this interim period. That said, Mr. Engle has handled my case with utmost professionalism and concern. Although the judge's settlement was not favorable / equitable from my perspective, Mr.... Engle always has kept my personal interests at the forefront of the process.
