Exceeded expectation and anticipated needs

My case must have set the record for time in process due to constantly changing factors on my side of the table. Throughout the entire time, Andrew was professional, approachable, compassionate, patient and easily reached (and prompt in response). Andrew explained the why and why nots in terms that... we could understand and went out of his way to make sure that we were prepared for, understood and in possession of everything that we needed to go through this process. Would give 20 stars if possible. Highly recommended to anyone who has questions and needs guidance regarding this topic.

This man is amazing!

I worked with Andrew on my BK7 and he was so reassuring in the process and made everything look easy. Me and my husband definetly could have never done it without him. He was so sweet and always answered my questions. Thank you Andrew

Ideal Bankruptcy Experience w/ AKS

Andrew K Smith was simply a pleasure to work with. From our first meeting at his little office in Clayton to the point my bankruptcy was discharged he treated me with respect and kept me well informed along the way. I can not think of one single aspect of the experience that wasn’t ideal, consid...ering the circumstances. Andrew was very non-judgemental and easy to talk to; his down to earth personality helped me feel relaxed and ready to take on the issue of my past debt. I highly recommend Andrew K Smith to anyone who may be considering filing bankruptcy. He gave me excellent advice and discussed all of my options in detail instead of just assuming I wanted to file regardless. None of that attorney ego that’s so common among his peers, he’s just a regular guy helping regular people get their finances in order. I couldn’t be happier with him and his service!

Financial Advice

I admit I was skeptical about all of these 5 star reviews. After talking with a couple of other attorneys who really only seemed to want to get into my wallet, I called Andrew. He responded immediately and answered my questions on the spot. He gave me advise to pursue resolution of my financial issue...s and pretty much said I don't need to hire him and don't need to declare bankruptcy. Seriously? Well, if I do end up needing the help of an attorney, I'm not even going to hesitate one second to hire 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."
