Highly recommend Andrew "the Gator" Korn

i have worked with Andrew on several post judgment collection/receivership matters and he's the best. My firm's go to guy. He's an expert in his practice areas, persistent, diligent and great to work with. Highly recommend.

If you are owed a judgment, CALL Andy now

Andy is the go-to person when I need assistance collecting a judgment. His knowledge of collections law, in general, and receiverships, in particular, is unmatched. In this instance, I obtained a judgment for a debt owed to me personally, but wasn't getting anywhere on my own trying to collect it. ... So, I got Andy appointed as a turnover receiver to help me collect the judgment. Andy immediately got to work and in a couple of months was able to collect the entire judgment owed. I cannot sing Andy's praises enough. Frankly, I had written off the money owed to me, but Andy, with his knowledge, willingness to immediately get to work, and tenacity was able to collect every penny owed to me. There isn't anyone that I would recommend over Andy Korn if you need help collecting a judgment.

Great Result

Andy jumped on our matter immediately. The result was swift and tremendous. Definitely would use again.

I'm attorney. Hiring Andy Korn is a no-brainer.

I'm an attorney practicing for over 10 years. I know many excellent attorneys. And when I needed an attorney to represent me, I immediately thought of Andy Korn. Mr. Korn is perhaps the best all around attorney I've ever known. I hold him in the highest regard, professionally and personally. He is de...dicated and diligent; has a deep well of knowledge and experience; holds himself to the highest ethical standards; and makes client-centered strategy the focus of his outcomes. He does his research, provides clear advice, and ensures that he considers every option. I first met Andy Korn as a younger attorney, when we were opposing counsel. Despite being on the other side of a case, Andy took his time to treat me as an equal, which is not always the situation with younger attorneys. And over the years, he has provided me with guidance and mentoring above and beyond what many experienced attorneys might provide. Knowing Andy Korn has made me a better attorney. I recommend hiring him.

Trustworthy and Skilled

I have been in the towing and wrecker business for more than 20 years. Andy is hands down the best lawyer I have worked with throughout my career.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I worked with Mr. Korn as a receiver in a matter involving a reluctant judgment debtor. Even before the collection process started, he revealed his professionalism and dedication by providing critical information in getting him appointed as a receiver in our case. In less than less than 4 hours we went from "not having enough to pay the judgment" to collecting the entire $1.3M due. Literally 4 hours. A professional in every sense of the word and I will work with him any time I have a matter in Texas."

Litigation lawyer | Mar 09

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I wholeheartedly endorse this lawyer. Mr. Korn and I have a mutual client in East Texas. I represented the client through one phase of the litigation, and then Mr. Korn took over. I am extremely impressed with the results he has been able to achieve in a short period of time by pursuing a smart and aggressive approach. While I was able to get the client money from the offending city who had violated my client's rights, Mr. Korn has achieved results in subsequent litigation involving different violations that I would not have thought possible. Since Mr. Korn has taken over, he has forced an entire reorganization of the city's administration--including forcing resignations of the mayor, police chief, and other city personnel who blatantly violated our client's civil rights. While this result is good for the client, it is also good for the community. I appreciate Mr. Korn's work and would recommend him to any of my clients."

"Andy Korn is an excellent attorney. I met Andy when he assisted in a strategy session on a case and was impressed with his insight and legal acumen. Andy was then called on short notice to represent a witness in one of my cases who was scheduled for deposition but had no attorney. Andy jumped right in, grasped the facts and issues immediately, and represented the witness well. I highly endorse Andy."
