Dedicated, Agressive, Intelligent
Nick serves as counsel of record for all matters regarding my PR agency. I run anything by him that has any possible legal implication and he responds thoughtfully, substantively and efficiently. Highly recommended without hesitation.
Nicholas Richard Andrea's Lawyer Endorsements
"I highly recommend Nick Andrea based on his work as opposing counsel in an employment case. Efficient, honest, effective and somebody I would recommend to my friends and clients if they need an attorney with Nick's expertise."
"Nick has the two qualities that I'd want in a lawyer. First, he's smart. Second, and perhaps more importantly, I've always regarded Nick as someone who has a genuine concern for people. In short, I see Nick as a lawyer with a conscience, and that goes a long way in my book."
"I endorse this lawyer. Nicholas is a dedicated and determined practitioner, and I would refer to him any individual with questions about their insurance coverage issues."
"I endorse Nick's work. Wonderful attorney, caring guy. In my opinion he has earned the respect of his peers with his knowledge of the law and his ability to find solutions for his clients."
"I've known Nick for 20 years, ever since we met the first day of law school. All the qualities that Nick has carried all the traits he showed in law school -- diligence, dedication, intelligence, integrity -- into his practice as an attorney. He zealously represents his clients' interests and treats his clients as if they were members of his family. I recommend Nick's services as an attorney without hesitation."
"Nick is a fantastic attorney who worked for the insurance companies in a former life. Now, Nick takes the side of the insured to make certain that insurance companies are not unfairly denying coverage or skimping out on coverage. His extensive experience on the other side allows Nick to anticipate all the strategies, defenses, and objections that the insurance attorneys are likely to employ and he's developed strategies to prevail for his clients. As Nick says, because he's been on the other side, he "knows where the bodies are buried"."
"I heartily endorse Nick Andrea! We went to school together, and after working at several reputable firms in the Los Angeles area, he has opened his own firm. He is capable, enthusiastic, ethical and hard working!"
"I have known Nick for over 20 years - we served on the Pepperdine Law Review together. He is smart, trustworthy, efficient and ethical. I highly recommend him and wish him tremendous success in his firm"
