Posted by Lashaye | July 19, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Awesome Lawyer

I've been going to Andrew since 2014 to handle my traffic tickets. He's very affordable and he handle your cases fast. Whenever I need to contact him, he responds back even when he's out of town. Just recently, he helped me file bankruptcy for the first time and I have never been so happy and relie...ved. Andrew gets to the point, he doesn't waste anyone's time talking about things that don't matter, it's an in and out process but he does have time to answer any questions you may have. He's a really nice man who's professional and takes his career seriously. I will continue to drive to Clayton for his help. His business is worth my time and money!!! Thanks Andrew for everything!!

Beyond helpful and thorough

Hired Andrew to help me file for my chapter 7 bankruptcy. Very friendly, professional, did an excellent job with handling everything and making sure I understood what was going on every step of the way even helped me get money back from a harassing debt collector in the process. Would definitely reco...mmend Andrew to anyone looking to file bankruptcy

Hire Andrew TODAY!

My husband and I hired Andrew to handle a very old mortgage issue on my husband's behalf. I picked Andrew based on reviews and I was not disappointed. He went above and beyond to get us the best possible settlement that he could. He was honest and kept us informed the entire time. We were so pleased ...with the outcome of the case. He handled everything for us and we never had to attend court. You will not regret hiring Mr. Smith! He is an excellent attorney!

"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."
