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.

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....

Drugs Charges

I was facing multiple felonies drug charges, and things wasn't looking good for me. But Mr. Andrew Popplewell believed in my innocence when i told him that i was innocent. He did not give up on and and fought for my innocence. He was very honest professional with me about everything. Made me feel co...mfortable and confidence. He got my charges dismissed! I can honestly say that he is the best defense lawyer in town. I have hired him for multiple situation and everytime, he does an amazing job at representing me. Not only is he a excellent lawyer, he is also a wonderful person with a big heart. He goes out of his way to look after me and advise me afterward on how to get my life back together after my cases were settled. That what a good lawyer and person do. Im glad i hired him and he is my lawyer. I owe him everything for what he did for me. I would highly recommend him to anyone that needs a good lawyer who believed in them and will fight for them with all his heart. Thank you Mr. Andrew Popplewell for being such a great lawyer for me and my situations.

Taken care of

He was straight to the point, informative, honest, and efficient. I wish he would have been open to other ways to solve my problem. However, he did prevent me from getting the original charge and I would recommend him to anyone dealing with DUI/drug charges.

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.
