Must Hire

I cannot have asked for better representation than that provided by Mr. Popplewell. He was in constant communication with me throughout the process, leaving me as comfortable as I could have been given the circumstances. He was knowledgeable, professional, and provided a much-appreciated level of und...erstanding during a time I felt great shame. I highly recommend Andrew -- there is no one better in the mid-MO area.

Hire Him!

Mr. Popplewell is a great attorney! He’s very personable and respectable, but will also be very blunt and upfront with you. I’ve never been in a position where I needed to have representation by an attorney, until about a year ago. Luckily, I stumbled across Mr. Popplewell because I’m sure I’d be in ...an uneasy predicament if it wasn’t for him. His fees were a little pricey, especially for a 2nd year college student! But I had a choice to ride in a Acura, a Benz, or a Rolls Royce. And if you had to guess, he’s the Rolls Royce.

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.

Knowledgeable, Responsive, and Honest

I initially hired Andrew Popplewell to represent me in 2009. While working with Andrew, I felt as though my situation was in adept and trustworthy hands, and he did not let me down. Later on down the road, I found myself in a similar situation and decided to hire a less expensive attorney in the Co...lumbia area. Biggest. Mistake. Ever. Looking back, I wasted more time, energy, and money by hiring the other guy than I ever would have with Andrew. He is efficient and honest and far more knowledgeable than the cheap attorney who provided me with cheap results. Fast forward ten years later and Andrew remains my go-to guy for legal advice and representation. For those of you looking for an honest, experienced, knowledgeable, and responsive attorney, you’d be an idiot not to hire Andrew Popplewell.

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!

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.
