An attorney you can count on

I hired Andrew Popplewell 5 days before my final DWI video hearing. My first attorney was not very honest and ghosted me a month before the end of my case. I frantically called several attorneys in one day. I knew in the first couple of minutes on the phone that Andrew should have been the attorney... on my case from the start. He is straight forward and to the point. He patiently answered all my questions and explained everything clearly. He also told me that he was willing to take over if I wanted, but I really did not need him for this and should save my money. I hired him anyway because I was concerned that my last attorney didn't handle my case properly. I felt much better having Andrew look my case over and having him there representing me. A client should be able to feel confident that their attorney is doing their best for them. Had I hired Andrew in the beginning, it would have saved me a lot of unnecessary stress.

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.

A professional attorney, Mr. Popplewell

Mr. Popplewell was a responsible and professional attorney. He knew exactly what he has to do, and tried to solve my charge in an appropriate and efficient way. During the time he processed my DWI case, he tried to save my time and helped me, so that I could focus on my daily life. Whenever I asked b...unch of questions to understand my situation, he quickly and clearly answered it. I would highly recommend Mr. Popplewell as your DWI attorney.

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.

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!

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.
