We keep him on retainer.

You may not think someone who bills himself as a virtual lawyer who represents small businesses and entrepreneurs is on the up-and-up. I wasn't sure when I first contacted Atty. Legrand through his website. He came to our house, sat at our dining room table, discussed what he could provide concerni...ng registering our business, drawing up contracts, and providing us with a sound legal foundation from which we could grow our business. We hired him on the spot. While Atty. Legrand bills himself as a small business attorney, we asked him to take care of some of our other legal needs. He warned us beforehand that these were not his specialty, but he promised to do his best. His best is very, very good. He delivered beyond our expectations, and we are very comfortable with the result. Our interests are well protected due to Atty. Legrand's work on our behalf. We have dealt with other, more established, attorneys in the past. Nobody likes dealing with a lawyer. They are all sharks looking to gobble up chum and billable hours. Andrew Legrand is not like that. He defies stereotypes. He doesn't take advantage and do as little as possible to collect his fee. Sure, he is young, but he doesn't feel entitled to your business. He earns it. He does more than is expected, and what he delivers is as good as his word. His word is good. When Atty. Legrand promised something, we got more than we bargained for. This attorney has a bright future ahead of him, for the good of his clients, for the good of small business, and for the good of New Orleans. The city needs more attorneys like Atty. Andrew Legrand.

Great friend, excellent attorney

I have known Andrew for nearly 5 years. He has always been an excellent friend and hard worker. When we last spoke, he mentioned he was getting ready to start his own firm. I was happy to hear he was going to help small business people in New Orleans and provide them with legal services where need...ed. If you're looking for a lawyer who will a competent, and consider counselor, Andrew is the man for you!
