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!

Best attorney ever!

I have personally used Andrew for a few different things... he has always been my go to attorney! We hired him for my sisters DEI, which he completely got thrown out. We also hired him for my little brother’s marijuana charge, which he was able to get reduced, as well as my countless speeding tickets....

Review for Andrew Popplewell

Andrew Popplewell was a great help to our son. He had charges which could have led to serious complications. Andrew was really good to reply to any questions that we had and did so in a timely manner. He was very knowledgeable concerning the laws pertaining to our charges. I would highly recommen...d Andrew. We would not hesitate to contact him again.

True representation

I was charged with a felony. Andrew took my case with great enthusiasm and a zealous attitude. In the end I chose to take a plea agreement. But I avoided felony charges and received SIS. Andrew was more than willing to take my case all the way to and through the trial process. He listened to me ...and advised me throughout the entire process. I would recommend Andrew or anyone at Eng and Woods immediately to anyone that has any type of legal issue. C

Excellent is an understatement

Andrew was awesome. My 18-year old son was charged with DUI, possession, possession of drug paraphernalia, underage drinking, and false identification. Then charged with possession a second time within a couple of days. Andrew was very responsive, professional and knowledgable. He was there for us w...hen we needed an attorney and got a quick successful resolution to our cases. Andrew was great not only because he was able to reach an unbelievably successful outcome but he cared. He talked bluntly with out son about his problem and suggested ways he should go get help. He made it clear the severity of the issues without preaching. Additionally, he helped us with the issues related to his attendance at University of Missouri. If you need an attorney, he is the one you should call.

  • 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.
