For anyone looking for a family law attorney, The highest recommendation possible is the one I give for attorney Andrea McCurdy

Posted by

In the beginning of September 2018 my wife and I found ourselves in the unfortunate position of having to replace an attorney we had for three years, and one who was preparing for a full custody hearing the last week of October 2018. It was an answer to prayers that Mrs. Andrea McCurdy was even willing to take on our case with such short notice. It was clear to my wife and me that Andrea takes on cases she believes in, and the fact that she actually cared and showed a vested interest was the first big positive observation of ours. With very little time she extensively studied the case which had boxes of files from years of documentation. She she won our case and we were awarded full custody of my eight-year-old daughter. What has impressed me even more sense the conclusion of the custody case to present Andrea has shown a true concern and care for our case and daughter, and has continued to provide us with recommendations, directions, and insights for the best steps moving forward working with the other parent. She has often provided us with the additional recommendations and insights since the custody hearing at little cost and at times charging us no additional costs to the legal services provided. Truly showing that she cares about the cases she takes on and it's not just a paycheck for for Andrea. Lastly I am former law enforcement from two different military branches in addition to being civilian former law enforcement, and has a past police detective I had been subpoenaed to many civil court cases connected to my work at the time. As a result I've had many years of court experience, and often observed lawyers who did not take a vested interest in our clients or case. So my recommendation for Andrea McCurdy as your family law attorney comes with special insights. Hope these words are helpful for anyone that is in the process of considering Mrs. McCurdy for their new attorney.

Compassionate Attorney

Posted by

Compassion and attorney usually don't go together but Andrea isn't your normal attorney! I can't rate Andrea high enough! She is professional, knowledgeable, and detailed oriented. She also is tenacious as a hungry bear. What more would you want in an attorney? Andrea helped me navigate the legal maze of my case but more importantly she helped me make it through the lowest point of my life. She was my lifeline when I needed one the most. She went way beyond what she was obligated to do. I can't thank her enough! Hire her!

Divorce

Although I only met with Andrea once in person I was very pleased that my divorce was final in just 10 weeks from that first meeting. I will forever be grateful to her for making this process as easy as a divorce can possibly be. Thank you Andrea!

Highly recommend!

Andrea is a very personable, dedicated, and ambitious attorney. Her passion for helping families is evident through her hard work and time that she spends with her clients. My case was difficult and the other party made it unbearable and miserable at times, but Andrea was always positive and encouraging throughout everything. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is searching for an attorney to represent them in the matter of family law. You will not be disappointed.

Great lawyer

Posted by

She is great we had one of the most horrible child custody cases and she was very helpful, always could get fast responses by phone or email. We went from not being able to even see kids to custody. She went above and beyond what most would, and very personal but still very professional. Even after case closed would answer our questions and help. Great lawyer highly recommend.

Great Attorney

Posted by

Mrs. McCurdy was very knowledgeable of the circumstances in my case. She was always easily accessible by either phone or email & always had answers to my questions. She didn't charge an arm & a leg while allowing me to do all the footwork (as other attorneys I had hired previously). She made the experience as good as she possibly could have with the given circumstances. I would not hesitate to hire her again & would completely recommend her to anyone needing a great attorney. I really don't know where I would be if I hadn't hired her.

Andrea is a skilled family law attorney. Just as important though is that she takes a practical common sense approach to actually resolving the often contentious issues involved in a divorce in as expeditious method as possible. She is also a very competent mediator.
