Top Notch Lawyer!

As a freshman university student, I was charged with Posseession and Delivery of a Controlled Substance, a felony, by university police because another student got ahold of several pills of ADHD medication that I have been prescribed for over 8 years. Although, I should have been more careful with ...my medication, it was obvious that the charge was excessive. I was referred to Mr. Popplewell, and he immediately went to work on my behalf. Working to get the charges dismissed or reduced was a challenge due to the prosecutor's unwillingness to negotiate. That didn't stop Andrew and the charges were ultimately reduced to the lowest misdemeanor with no fine. It is unfortunate that a stupid mistake could have derailed my entire college career, however, that didn't happen thanks to Mr. Popplewell. My family and I are deeply grateful for the excellent representation of Mr. Popplewell. He was totally committed from day one to getting the felony charges lifted and I now am able to continue to pursuit my dreams. I highly recommend Mr. Popplewell to anyone facing a similar situation.

Espungement case

Andrew is a amazing lawyer. I was so happy and very grateful for the hard work he did for my espungement case. He told me if they did not take care of removing this, he would give me all my money back. I was very nervous about my case. But, Andrew made sure I was not nervous and was being well taken ...care of. Then bam everything was done and taken care of. He takes all his cases seriously and treats hos clients like they are is best friend!! If I ever need a good attorney again, I will definitely use Andrew Popplewell!!

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.

Timely and efficient

I’ve had several attorneys over the years, and without a doubt, Andrew has been the most efficient, professional and timely attorney I have ever seen. What took one attorney 10 months to handle a DWI case, Andrew settled it in 10 days. He removes that entire “fear of the unknown”, which is priceless!... Thank you!

  • 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.
