Andrew J. Forsythe's Lawyer Endorsements
"Encyclopedic knowledge of law, and a top notch practitioner of law. He has earned the highest level of respect in the community of judges, defense attorneys and prosecutors."
"Andy Forsythe is everything you could want in a criminal defense lawyer. He is as smart as they come, and diligently studies the most recent changes in the law. He has great people skills, and is one of the kindest and most approachable lawyers I've ever met. He has an impeccable reputation among prosecutors, judges, and other defense attorneys. This guy is all class. I endorse him 100%."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. I've known Andy Forsythe for many years. Back when I was a prosecutor, all of my co-workers knew that if Andy said it, it was true. You could take whatever he said to the bank. That is a mighty valuable asset to have. But it is not his only asset. Andy is smart, conscientious, very hard-working, and a very careful lawyer who takes excellent care of his clients. He has also been, for many years, a quiet leader in the local bar who gets things done without worrying about who gets the credit. I strongly endorse Andy Forsythe."
