He EARNED a client for life!!!

Andrew Kirkwood Smith is by far the most impressive attorney I have ever worked with! I came across his contact information on a mailed advertisement, and called because everything it promised sounded way to good to be true. He went above and beyond every word that he promised! Upon my visit to his o...ffice he made me feel so comfortable! He took care of everything! He went as far to even call/text to remind me of anything that needed to be handled, where to meet, what to bring, ect....I mean down to every last detail! Professional, but down to Earth and super easy to talk to! He literally does give out his cell phone number, and accepts calls at all hours, no matter what! As a matter of fact, I have never even heard his voicemail, because he is so attentive he has answered the phone every time I have called! His prices are way too cheap for the service and results he gives in return! I can not say enough wonderful things on his behalf, but I can confidently say that he has EARNED a client for life!!! If you are reading this and in the market for an attorney, look no further....he is the best out there!!!

Stress Free and Helpful

Mr. Smith was very informative and helpful throughout the bankruptcy process. I literally just had to provide him with the relevant forms and fill out a couple of forms and he did the rest. He made this a surprisingly stress free process and kept me adequately informed. I would recommend Andrew to... anyone who needs a good lawyer without hesitation.

A+

Very prompt and professional. Everything was done on a timely manner. Plus he gives you his personal cell phone number to contact him 24/7. He even communicated with me about my case while he was in Toronto with his family. It doesn't get better than that.

"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."
