Andrew is an excellent attorney

I worked with Andrew Speer for the past few months and had a fantastic experience with him. From the first conversation I had with him, Andrew demonstrated his ability to listen well and develop an understanding of my situation. He was extremely informative throughout the process. We obtained a favor...able outcome in my situation by strategically applying pressure, having a well thought out plan, and acting quickly when opportunities arose. I give Andrew all the credit for that well executed strategy. Andrew communicates promptly and always keeps his clients’ best interests in mind. I would hands down recommend Andrew Speer and O’Neil Wysocki to anyone who is in need of a top notch family law attorney.

Professional and Meticulous

I cannot give enough praise to Andrew Speer for all the hard work, dedication, and advice he provided during the entire adoption process. Andrew is an exceptional attorney that is meticulous by nature, which was precisely what my wife and I required for our case. My wife and I had no idea there wer...e so many steps involved to adopt children, but with the careful guidance of Andrew, the intricacies of the adoption process dissolved. Andrew was proactive in notifying us of any requirements imposed upon my wife and me, as well as always being punctual to court dates. Also, he was extremely thorough in completing the necessary paperwork in a timely manner. As of today, I am a proud father of two adopted sons, all due to the effort of Andrew and his team at Holmes Diggs and Eames. I highly recommend Andrew Speer for any family law litigation needs.

Andrew Speer

I would definitely recommend Andrew to represent me or anyone that I know in need of a family law attorney. He has exceeded the expectations I expect from his firm. He kept me informed throughout the entire process, and help me through this rough experience. Excellent lawyer knows the law and put m...e and my kids best interest first.

"I heartily endorse Andrew and refer family law clients to him. Andrew and I have known each other since law school, and since then have worked on several projects together as our careers have grown. It gives me great pride to say that I knew Andrew "way back when" when he was President of our law school's SBA and organizing hundreds of students every day (no small task). It gives me just as much pride to work with him now as a licensed attorney serving the needs of our community and its members. For those with family law issues in Dallas, Collin, Denton, and surrounding counties, you cannot do better than a smart, efficient attorney such as Andrew Speer. He is a born leader and problem-solver."
