This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Saved my life

Without his help, I wouldn't be free today. He helped me beat a robbery charge and was very professional as well as helpful throughout the entire legal process.

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Review

Mr. Limberg although did not take my case, in which it is imperative that an attorney do so, he did respond quickly and took constructive criticism well to correct some known problems. This is a sign of a good professional.

Thank you for the review. Unfortunately, you required assistance outside my area of expertise. My practice is exclusively devoted to criminal defense, I do not represent plaintiffs in civil suits. I wish you the best of luck.

A Fantastic Criminal Defense Attorney

Andrew did a wonderful job of getting me out of a jam which I was certain I would be convicted of a serious offense. He's a good man to know when you're in trouble.

Criminal defense lawyer | Nov 12

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Andrew is an excellent defense attorney. Family law is my primary practice and it has significant criminal law crossover in some matters. I've worked with Andrew where our mutual client faced criminal and family matters and Andrew was very careful to make sure that his actions in the criminal matter did not cause problems in the family matter. That's often a huge difficulty where criminal defense attorneys get their clients good deals in criminal Court that have hugely negative implications in terms of child custody or spousal support. He makes sure that his clients are backstopped on all ends. Further, his law enforcement background gives him great insight to how the prosecutor and investigators develop their case."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Andy and I served together in the U.S. Marine Corps and went to law school together, so I have known him well and for a long time. He is my "go-to" guy when I have criminal defense matters to refer out and every client I have sent his way has made a point of getting in touch with me to thank me for sending them his way. He gets results and clients like his work, and I will continue sending him all my criminal defense referrals. I enthusiastically endorse Andy for all of your criminal defense needs. Brian Lawler"

Criminal defense lawyer | Mar 05

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"I endorse this lawyer. Andrew Limberg worked as my associate when he was just out of law school. Since he and I both had been in the Marines we had a natural bond. He demonstrated excellent skills from the beginning. We Marines have a "mission" mentality about our cases and together we made a great team. Andy helped prepare the cases and he wrote "excellent" motions which can be critical as to what evidence comes in or is excluded in trial. I have watched Andy develop over the years into an excellent criminal lawyer in his own right. We both practice in the Vista area and I can attest that he is well respected by all in the system. And that is what you pay for as a client; someone who is skilled, respected, and knows the people in the system. I endorse Andy to the fullest. He has carried with him the dedication to honor and integrity that was instilled into him as an officer in the United States Marine Corps."

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.
