Andrea Sheinbein

I hired her to help me with a lawsuit and it was a huge mistake! I basically had to force her to do her job after she took a large amount of money from me. It would take multiple emails before she would even respond and then I would find out that she had not even done what she had said she would prio...r. Then she would charge me for each email! After months of this, i tried to tell her I did not want to continue her service any longer. And she told me that I couldn't. The case was finally dismissed a couple of months ago and I have yet to receive the unused balance of my retainer. I have sent multiple emails requesting payment and have not received a response or my money! She made an already stressful situation even more stressful than it had to be. So now I've contacted the state bar and they are advising me on how to handle the situation.

I hired Ms. Scheinbein for a custody case. The mother and her lawyer were trying to play all sorts of legal games to try and avoid the issue at hand. With her experience (AND SHE KNOWS THE LAW WELL!), she was able to maneuver and stop the wasting of money. Ms. Scheinbein got right to the point,... always returned phone calls promptly, and even gave me her personal cell phone (most lawyers don’t do that.) Most of all, she is a fighter and a bulldog! She took my case very seriously and worked very hard on my case. She gave me excellent advice and, I must recommend this, listen to her advice. I have dealt with many lawyers in the past, most of which seem to burn through money and not do much. She billed honestly, accurately and was very reasonable. She is an honest lawyer. When she showed up for trial, this lady was well prepared. I highly recommend her, she did an excellent job for me, did a great job preparing me for trial, was well organized and I got the outcome I had hoped for. Her legal assistant, Jo Ann, is great too. I shopped around for a long time to find a good lawyer like her! I got lucky finding her. Thanks for all the great work!
