Excellent Attorney, Honest, Ethical and Hard Working

Andy had been my divorce attorney for many years. My ex-husband and his attorney are both extremely difficult to work with, yet throughout it all, Andy maintains his ethics and his integrity at every turn. Andy is well-versed in the legal process, his motions are precise, well-written and extreme...ly effective. He knows court room procedures and practices and is well-liked and respected by the judges. He is always well-prepared, honest, straightforward, quick to respond to all of my questions and concerns, professional, friendly, and impressive in his knowledge of Colorado family law. I have referred many people to Andy and will continue to do so. He is an excellent attorney who will fight hard for his clients without charging them exorbitant fees. His knowledge and dedication enable him to be an excellent attorney and advocate for his clients.

"Andy was the opposing counsel on a fairly contentious matter, and very professional to work with. He fought hard for his client's interests, but was willing to work hard to reach a settlement that saved all parties the costs of further litigation.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
