I recommend Andrew

Going through Chapter 7 bankruptcy is never an easy choice. I kept battling with finding a lawyer who will handle my case.. One day my friend from work recommended me to go see Andrew Smith... From my first day meeting him and him discussing my cases i knew he was the right lawyer for me.. Whenever i... had questions or things i didnt understand, i call Andrew up (sometimes lates) but he will always answer my calls. By Andrew handling my case, i thank God for him because he is truly a lifesaver.. I recommended my family and friends to him and everyone has been above satisfied.. He is a wonderful Person because he care about your case.

Awesome Lawyer

Andrew Kirkwood Smith is a very sharp and intelligent attorney. He explains everything to you and will give you opportunities to ask any questions you might have. The friendly office atmosphere relaxes you and he eases any stress that you might have. There were never any surprises or unknowns. He is ...straight forward and has your best interest at all times. I felt the trust and honesty that assured me I was in the right place. He takes your case seriously from start to finish. You're treated with respect and dignity, not someone that's just out for the money. I will definitely refer people to him and come back if I ever have to. You can't go wrong with Andrew Kirkwood Smith. Believe that.

Bankruptcy

From the moment I spoke with Andrew on the phone I felt at ease regarding my situation. He never made me feel as though I was intruding on his time and usually when I had a question I either received a prompt call or text depending on the complexity of the answer. Andrew made a very tense situation... manageable throughout the process. I have recommended him to other aquaintances who are in need of his services. There were other lawyers closer in proximity, but like I said, he seemed and was trustworthy.

Bankruptcy

Andrew was very knowledgable and helpful through out my bankruptcy process. He made me feel very comfortable and at ease when it came to filing for bankruptcy. He responded to any of my questions I had in a timely manor and processed everything rather quickly and now I have a fresh start. I would hig...hly recommend him as your bankruptcy lawyer for those who are looking into bankruptcy.

"I highly recommend Mr. Smith. I have known Andrew for a long time it seems. He is a zealous advocate who deals candidly with others, uses his education, skills, and training to do good for his clients. If you are facing debt, criminal or rent and possession problems in the St. Louis area, do not hesitate to contact Andrew. As has been stated on here, he is probably the only lawyer I know that give his REAL cell phone number to clients. He meets his clients on weekends and even at place convenient to them. He goes well above and beyond any expectations and I have seen it first hand working with him on several matter."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I've had the chance to work with Andrew on a number of different cases since 2006. While he handles many different areas of law, I would say that Andrew is first and foremost a consumer advocate. From bankruptcy to collection defense, it's easy to see that he's a passionate and involved attorney. I've referred a number of people - friends and family members - to Andrew and all of them have given glowing reviews. Plus, he's one of the few attorneys out there who gives out his personal cell phone, which people always seem to enjoy. Give him a call - you'll be glad you did."
