I have worked with and known Drew for many years. He is incredibly smart and passionate about the law and has an abundance of experience (private firm, corporate, nonprofit) which helps provide a broad perspective on issues and strategies in his current practice. I would highly recommend him -- he is fair, honest and works hard for all of his clients.
Wendy Shiff, Wrongful termination Attorney on Dec 2, 2015
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I wholeheartedly endorse Andrew Alexis. He is a seasoned attorney with extensive experience counseling clients and litigating all types of labor and employment cases including wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, disability and wage and hour disputes. Andrew is one of the brightest, most hard-working attorneys I have ever known. He works at a level few attorneys reach and I couldn’t recommend him more highly. Andrew thinks strategically and is always one step ahead of the other side. He works tirelessly for his clients and goes the extra mile. Andrew truly cares about his clients. When a client has an unusual or difficult case, Andrew doesn't stop until he has a solution. He is honest and straightforward. He will give you an accurate assessment of your case and then do everything possible to resolve it in your favor. For Andrew, helping his clients is not just a job; it is his passion, and he excels at it.
