Con man and cheat

I would not recommend Andrew Wyatt. Do not hire this man. Andrew Wyatt is a con man and disgrace to the legal profession. The only time he was nice when he wanted me to pay him the huge retainer amount of $8000, he demanded. He made promises that he would work hard on my case, and he is accepting my ...case because it's a strong case. Once I paid the retainer, he showed me his true colors. He made no efforts to work on my case except doing copy paste of the claims. Andrew misrepresented me in the court filings and even supported the opposing party to file sanctions against me based on misinformation his was spreading. Each time I asked Andrew about my case update he would either ignore and/or use unprofessional and disrespectful language to insult me. Andrew is just a petty thief who stole my hard-earned money with no intention of working on my case. Andrew even took bribe from the opposing party/double-dipping to not work on my case and withhold case information from me. This man just steals retainers from his clients and runs. Unfortunately, I didn't see other negative reviews before hiring this man. All the good reviews you see are fake reviews from Andrew's equity partners and friends.

You Represented Our Company As Though It Was Your Own

Thank you, Attorney Wyatt, for taking us on as a client. The outcome of our case demonstrates that you are committed, a skillful negotiator, competent, aggressive, and honest. For the last two years, you represented our company as though it was your own. The situation appeared dire but, you were... always there and supportive. When it was all over we walked out of the courtroom with our corporation’s reputation intact and in victory. Thank goodness that Andrew Wyatt was there to fight for us. Attorney Wyatt, you are now on our team. Thank you for all of the work you put into righting this wrong.

Not lawyer!!!

I wouldn't recommend Andrew Wyatt . He supposedly was going to work very hard on representing me on a custody case, instead of him helping me with my case he got me a court order to drive 216 miles every other weekend to pick up my son. He did nothing at all the day I had the hearing at the moment t...hat my case was called Andrew Wyatt was no where to be found , he was having coffee with my ex husbands layer and they both came to an agreement that was not beneficial at all , Andrew made me sign the agreement telling me that I was still going to have the opportunity to talk to the judge which never happen because I soon as I signed he said he was done that he had to leave. He is seriously a very useless lawyer because he got to enjoy my hard earned money for doing absolutely nothing, shame on you Mr. Wyatt.

Completely UNPROFESSIONAL and UNETHICAL.

I hired Mr Wyatt to reprsent me in a real estate scam. In our initial meeting he made all sorts of promises in what he would do for me. I gave him a $3K retainer and then things changed dramatically. In the first six months of my case, I didn't even get one response from him. I also found out that he... failed to tell me that he too was a victim of this same scam which is a complete conflict of interest. I asked him to produce the file for my case on several occassions but he never did. He also never showed me even one bill to see how he spent my retainer. I went down to the courthouse and got copies of the minutes of the court case and saw that there was a hearing that he didn't even attend. There were many other things I asked Mr. Wyatt to do but he just ignored my requests. After further investigation I saw that Mr. Wyatt has been sued before for malpractice but has settled in an effort to keep his record clean. I spoke to two other attorneys and they both told me to take him to the BAR which is what I am doing now. I am also planning on taking him to small claims court to get my retainer back. Hiring Mr. Wyatt was a huge mistake and I hope that nobody else has to go through the agony that he has put me through. I would NOT recommend him to anyone.
