DWI

I was stopped for speeding but the situation turned into a DWI quickly. I was arrested and jailed on that eventful night. Mr. Andreski took a strong interest in my case including my ideas and opinions. I did not want to settle and he supported me 100%. He was extremely prepared for court, he was prof...essional yet firm with the prosecutions witness. I would use him again and strongly recommend him to anyone that needs a good defense attorney.

Hardworking, patient, informative, caring, and great at what he does-defending people! HIGHLY RECOMMEND

I hired Donnie for a misdemeanor theft case. It was a one time mistake, one I regret deeply. I could not express that enough to Donnie, which he believed. Donnie, along with the rest of the staff at the Law Office of Shane Phelps, genuinely cared about my situation and made me feel like I was still ...a worthy person who simply made a bad decision. He was available to me at any time of the day, he would even take the time out of his personal life to respond to me on the weekends. The patience he demonstrated with me was absolutely incredible, especially seeing as though I was frequently contacting him in regards to the situation. He always knew how to calm me down. He provided me with realistic expectations and worked tirelessly at getting me the best deal possible. He is a former police officer, and I believe that experience, along with his lengthy experience as a lawyer, makes him the best at representing someone in need of representation. I am extremely satisfied with the results he achieved for me, and believe that he is not just one of the best lawyers out there, but THE best. I understand how scary it is to be in legal trouble, and the best thing you can do for yourself is hire Donnie Andreski as your lawyer. He’ll help you through it, and you’ll come out on the other side a better person.

Trial by jury

I was support for the defense and witnessed a trial that he defended for the charge of strangulation and impeding breath. Donnie was amazing through the entire 3 days. He used effective listening and investigative skills along with the support of the evidence to win the case. His closing argument wa...s so effective, especially compared to the prosecutors, I became a bit emotional with the points he made. He is an excellent attorney and I absolutely recommend him.

Amazing Advocacy

Mr. Andreski represented my younger brother in a domestic violence / strangulation case in Bryan, Tx. He was very knowledgeable about the law and gathered all the information he needed to start the trial, he left no stone unturned. He was very thorough with all the witnesses that took the stand and a...lso wrote several notes for himself to recall later in time if /or when needed. He remained confident, professional and calm the entire time. He proved an amazing defense case and made it very clear that my brother's actions were infact self-defense, no matter the size or weight of a person. He was able to get the Jurors to understand and place themselves in that situation, if it was them on trial. It also did not matter which angle The State argued, Mr. Andreski had enough evidence and arguments to cover them all. After hearing from both sides for 2 days and speaking with several professional witnesses and experts, he was able to get the truth to be told. It was clear to which side had crossed their T's and dotted their I's. My brother was found Not Guilty, free of any charges and cleared from the arrest made from this accusation. Mr. Andreski is a very exceptional lawyer, who remained confident in his work and arguments. He guided us the whole way and explained every step. Thank you again Mr. Andreski for giving my brother a peace of mind, his life back and a lesson to all in that courtroom to never judge a book by its cover.

Mr Anderski is a committed,dedicated Lawyer who pays attention to detail

I hired Mr Anderski for an Assault and Terroristic threat case.This case lasted for over a year and a half. My wife has made up a story that i assaulted her and threathened her with a Gun.I was so worried for my career. words cannot explain the emmotion pain i went through during this time span but M...r Anderski's resilience and sacrifice was fruitful at trail. Prior to trail he fought so that i shouldn't go to jail. At one point i was wearing and ankle monitor .He worked hard to take off the ankle monitor. At trail i had three counts which was worrying because if found guilty in one of the counts ,it doesn't make any big difference if found not guilty in two. Mr Anderski's experience as a law enforcement officer/Detective showed at trail because he was so knowledgeable and confident.I knew at one point i will be aquitted of all charges based on his outstanding performance-He blew away the prosecutor. He stayed with me all day long while we waited for the Jury verdict on day three. The verdict said i was NOT GUILTY on all three counts. If i'm walking free today ,it is thanks to this man. I will forever be greatful. I highly recommend this outstanding lawyer.
