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.

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.

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!

Best Lawyer in town

By far one of the best lawyers I’ve had. He gets right on top of your case and resolves it in the quickest most convenient way for you. I recommend Andrew as number one choice for any lawyer needs. Not to mention his rate is one of the lowest I have seen and he will work with you! If you need a GREAT... lawyer this is the person to call.

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.
