DUI Case

Andrew Popplewell was clearly the best choice I could have made for a bad mistake that left me in some trouble in a very hard time in my life. His communication is excellent and response time was amazing. He knows the ins and outs of the police arrest process and was able to clear me on a mistake TH...EY made. I would recommend him to anyone who has hit a rough patch and needs a good advocate who is knowledgeable about the legal system and direct about his expectations about the case.

A professional attorney, Mr. Popplewell

Mr. Popplewell was a responsible and professional attorney. He knew exactly what he has to do, and tried to solve my charge in an appropriate and efficient way. During the time he processed my DWI case, he tried to save my time and helped me, so that I could focus on my daily life. Whenever I asked b...unch of questions to understand my situation, he quickly and clearly answered it. I would highly recommend Mr. Popplewell as your DWI attorney.

Fantastic

Andrew helped me after I got my DUI. I felt (and still, to an extent, feel) a great degree of shame about getting a DUI and was anxious about what happened next. From the very beginning, Andrew handled my case professionally and without judgment. He clearly communicated to me what was happening, what... the process would look like, and what he thought my options were. He went above and beyond what I could have hoped an attorney would do for me.

Best DUI Lawyer Around

Andrew represented our family member for a DUI (number 6) and we could not be happier with the result. We hired Andrew after our previous lawyer had fumbled through our case, and left us with an untenable option presented by the prosecutor. At our first meeting Andrew made sure to let us know he was ...not making any promises, but laid out the options we had at the time. If we had questions either he or his office would get back to us promptly, something that was extremely helpful during this stressful time. Instead of a lengthy prison sentence, Andrew was able to get our loved one a shorter treatment option (120 days) which was much better for him, and much more helpful to the problems he was suffering from. We can't recommend Andrew and Eng and Woods enough. Thank you!

Highly recommend Andrew Popplewell

I want to thank Andrew Popplewell of the Eng & Woods Law Firm for his professionalism and consideration. He not only got my charges reduced but helped me get through the legal maze. His encouragement for me to seek alcohol treatment has resulted in 5 months of sobriety. I made a mistake but he did...n't treat me like a criminal. He helped me get my life back on track

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
