Empathetic Advocate & Fierce Fighter for Justice

Andrew represented me in litigation with a former domestic partner, and in defense of a frivolous attempt at a restraining order against me. The outcomes of both cases were in my favor – all due to Andrew's leadership, expert counsel, and strong relationships within his firm, and with his peers in th...e legal and justice communities. This was my first experience with contentious litigation, and Andrew always made sure I was heard, and took approaches to my case that protected my reputation, privacy, and wellbeing.

Life Sentence Vacated

In 2002 I was wrongfully convicted of 1st degree murder and sentenced to life without possibility of parole. I spent over 17 years behind bars. Andrew represented me on an out of time post-conviction relief application. He was able to get my conviction overturned and my life sentence vacated. I am a ...free man.

EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE WITH THE U.S. JUDICIAL SYSTEM

I want to share my experience of working with the law firm of Manasseh, Gill, Knipe, & Bélanger; and, specifically J. Andrew Bevinetto. • Prompt phone communication w/ law firm following my email explaining my unique situation. • Immediate communication w/ Andrew Bevinetto followed by face to ...face meeting. • Andrew was diligent in his research prior to our meeting; very knowledgeable of the applicable laws pertaining to my case. • Andrew was very welcoming yet professional; sympathetic yet straightforward; very thorough with details of my case and, time conscious throughout entire process. • Andrew was always “available” when I had questions. • Andrew contacted the appropriate government agencies to obtain information regarding my case; and, also, followed up with agencies as needed. He brought my case to a successful conclusion. I would absolutely refer Andrew Bevinetto to anyone that needs representation regardless of their circumstances. His knowledge of the law and his performance while representing me were exceptional. Karen

A Person For The People!

I've had a case then I've been dealing with for about a year. I've had multiple consultations and most wouldn't even take my case as one of the "Big Deals" in their profession. Although everyone said it was only a matter of paperwork and time, none of them seem to have the drive it would've taken. I ...stumbled upon this law firm and was appointed Andrew to represent me. My case seemed harder and harder every time but, as tough as it got.. Andrew got tougher! I honestly don't think I would have gotten the same judgment if this guy wasn't in my corner.. He's exceptional as well as a part of History. Not only in my life but, within the court's system also!! Thank God for good people such as he...
