take your money and run

Doesn't fight. Saw his client recently in cooper county plea deal to 10 yrs on a 5-15 yr sentence..1st offence robbery. Poor sap could have got the 10 with a public defender. I did 20 days when he assured me all i had was a fine. Big surprise... Most lawyers get lazy over time, but this one has bee...n since at least 2006.

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.

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!

Immediate action, client comes first

Andrew Popplewell was a great lawyer to work with. As his client, I never had to worry about my case as I knew it was in good hands. He is very responsive (even after hours) and will advise you about any future issues that may be associated with your case. I would definitely recommend Andrew to an...yone needing legal assistance in Columbia, MO and the surrounding area.

  • 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.
