André Robert Bélanger

My son's first time getting arrested with a very serious charge was indescribable. I had no clue about any Laws, or the Court System. With Andre's assistance and knowledge, I learned everything I needed to know and more. He was very patience and supportive. In the end, we all were pleased with ...his service. I would recommend Andre' Belanger.

You know when trying to find the right Criminal Defense Attorney you truly never know what you are going to get! From the moment I made that first initial phone call, to my first time stepping foot in his office I knew I had made the right choice to hire Mr. Bélanger to represent my boyfriend. My boy...friend was charged with Felony Carnal Knowledge. Mr. Bélanger is the 3rd attorney to be hired. Noel’s case was sketchy to begin with and as we dig deeper there are other things that we are finding out that the first attorney could have used. Mr. Bélanger was gored right after we lost our motion to reduce sentence. I called Bélangers office the next day at 3:30pm and within 15 minutes of our conversation, we set up a consultation. Now beings we have been through two attorneys and felt like we were fighting a loosing battle, that feeling all went away the minute I stepped in Mr. Bélangers office. I was impressed by that this man WITH NO MONEY had already done his research and had information on Noel’s case that I did not provide him with. In that moment all my doubts and the stereotypes went out the door. This man has amazed me in every way possible. When he was asked to see Noel or anytime he has been asked or he himself has planned on seeing Noel, he stuck by his word. Not once did he say he was going to do something and hasn’t. Getting a loved one home is stressful all in itself but to have an attorney who genuinely cares goes a long way. I would also like to throw in that if he was ever contacted via email text or even through his secretary, he always responded in a timely manner which anyone knows getting an answer from your attorney is like pulling teeth. He has truly been there not only for Noel but as well as me. Andre has respresented Noel not only in an appeal but as well as his parole hearing. Although we lost the appeal Mr. Bélanger represented Noel to the best of his ability. In some cases the facts are the facts and our argument didn’t belong in the appeals court which was clarified by not only the appeals court but as well as the state defense attorney. We just recently went infront of the parole board and WON. I have to say if it wouldn’t have been for Mr. Andre I don’t know that Noel’s parole would have been granted. Violent offenses are hard to fight but with someone like Mr. Bélanger on your side anything is possible. Our ways have not parted yet, as we have retained Mr. Bélanger to represent Noel not only in his post conviction relief as well as if granted to bring Noel’s case back to district court and fight it the right way. Noel nor I can say thank you enough for not only what this many has done and continues to do but just for giving us hope when we were at a point of giving up. We are truly blessed to have come across someone like Mr. Bélanger and couldn’t be happier with our decision to hire him. There is so much more I could say about Mr. Bélanger but I there isn’t enough typing space. I will finish with this his loyalty to Noel gives us hope that Noel will be home soon with a clean slate.

Andre was very knowledgeable to make a plea deal in Medicaid fraud allegations that carried several years of jail time .The plea deal avoided all jail time with just payments for restitution and costs involved. The attorney successfully got the criminal convictions set aside and records expunged earl...y after probation was terminated early .The immigration consequences of plea deal were not very helpful though as the restitution amount exceeded the charged amount of Medicaid fraud alleged which is unusual in a criminal case.

My experience with André went very well and far exceeded my expectations. I had a challenging and serious legal predicament that was ultimately favorably resolved, and he and other attorneys at his law firm diligently worked as a team to resolve my multi-faceted case. I was impressed how André added ...his body of legal knowledge to my legal situation, and I was particularly impressed on how he carried himself in the presence of others while working with my case. Looking back, I attribute this in part to his diverse legal career working in all types of legal situations presented by clients in the public and private sectors. I strongly recommend him to be your attorney, especially looking back on how well he did with my situation. Thank you André.

All my life I've never been in trouble, never charged for a crime, never been to jail or incarcerated. But at 49 years of age I made a bad choice that would change all that and put me in a position that could have been far more worse than the out come due to my attorney Mr. Andre Belanger. I broke ...a regulation in Federal Waters and then tried to cover up for myself and those I worked for. After the local investigation was complete and I thought it was all water under the bridge, two years later I learned that the US Federal US District Attorney had an open case that was building against me personally. Andre Belanger came highly recommended by a co workers attorney so not knowing anything about what I was getting into or where this was going I set up a consultation. First impression was that Andre was very intelligent and knew the legal system with out a doubt. The more we discussed my position the more comfortable it became to talk to him. They took all information I had and before hiring they inquired about the situation. THEN they called me back and let me know the real deal and what I was really getting into. This is when I knew I needed his help. At first I was not fully honest and held back information and I could tell he knew better, but did not pressure me and just let it come natural as I got more comfortable. I think this is what I was most impressed about. To make a long story short the US Federal District Attorney had brought charges against me that was going to put me in jail and paying VERY hefty fines. Andre and his legal team put me in the position to plea down and make my position much more palatable to the judge. Andre directed me to put together information that help put me in a better light and counter the "Villain" that the District Attorney made me out to be. Because of Andre Belanger's moves in and out of court, instead of a 10 year sentence and 500,000 in fines, I was blessed with One Year Probation and 40 hours community service with no fines. I was facing the worse case and came out with my freedom intact and able to start to rebuild.
