Fantastic Bankruptcy Attorney

Andrew was an amazing attorney and from the very first email I sent asking about the process, I knew without a doubt he was the one I wanted to work with. He never once failed to communicate or answer any questions I had from beginning to end. My court date was during his honeymoon and he called me a...nd talked me through the court process and had another attorney there to help me instead of postponing and made it as smooth as possible. I would definitely recommend Andrew Smith if you are looking for someone to help with your bankruptcy. The smoothest process ever!! I promise, you won't go wrong choosing him!

Fantastic lawyer!!!

Best attorney ever. Handled my bankruptcy, took payments, always answered my calls or called me back quickly when I left a message. He even arranged for me to keep things I was sure would be lost, and got leins taken off my house. Can't say enough good things about him.

"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."
