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.

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!!

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!

Highly recommend Andrew Popplewell

I want to thank Andrew Popplewell of the Eng & Woods Law Firm for his professionalism and consideration. He not only got my charges reduced but helped me get through the legal maze. His encouragement for me to seek alcohol treatment has resulted in 5 months of sobriety. I made a mistake but he did...n't treat me like a criminal. He helped me get my life back on track

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.

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.
