Great Attorney Exceeded Expectations

Mr Westover is an amazing attorney who definitely knows family law and absolutely destroyed the other party in my divorce case. My divorce included a prenup, child support, custody, alimony and attorney fees. All matters in my divorce was finalized March 2024. I hired Mr. Westover after my first a...ttorney got me into an agreement that was not in my best interest. I was not happy with the agreement and started looking for a new attorney. Mr. Westover was confident from the beginning and exceeded my expectations at the end. I still can’t believe I won in every matter. Although we had a trial date set and Mr. Westover was well prepared and ready, all remaining matters were settled the day of trial just minutes before starting after the judge ruled the prenup was enforceable. It was such a happy unexpected turn of events. I’m just overly happy that I won and it’s over. Thanks to Mr. Westover and his team, I got all that I wanted and more than I expected. Big thanks to the staff too. They were amazing and nothing fell through the cracks and they always followed up when things came up.

Client Collaborative, Firm, Expert Lawyer

A few years ago Andrew's firm represented me in a custody trial and most recently Andrew represented me in a child support modification case. Initially, I had *thought* this was just a simple child support modification as I had 100% visitation and thus I respresented myself, I mean, how hard could i...t be? To explain the situation, I show up to court and the father lied on his Income and Expense and the judge was not asking for any proof about his claims to hardship (he lied about medical bills for his other child) and then with no legal explanation, she deviated from the dissomaster thus dropping my support by 20% based on unfounded lies! As soon as the initial hearing was over, I walked out and called Andrew because I needed a professional to represent me in what was becoming a battle. I explained to Andrew what had happened and what my intentions were. He told me honestly it was not worth pursuing because the money I would make up would not cover the cost of what we had to do to prove father was lying. I appreciated the fact that Andrew outlined that for me prior to moving forward with the case, which, I did decide to do and we eventually settled satisfactory. Being a professional in the high tech industry, I appreciated Andrew's work ethics and communication style, he is easily accessible via email and phone and his response times are very quick, beyond expectation. In dealing with the opposing counsel, he was professional yet firm, not afraid to call out the inconsistencies and had greater legal knowledge than the opposing counsel, he really shined in front of the judge. He holds himself with a quiet but firm gentleness. I had a sense of collaboration and partnership with Andrew, he listened to my concerns, which ones I desired to be brought up to the judge and he delivered spot on! Overall, if you require an intelligent, analytical, excellent communicator in your lawyer, I highly recommend Andrew.

Greatest lawyer...ever!!!

Andrew Westover is such an amazing lawyer, I cannot say enough about him. He helped me get custody of my children, not just once, but also a second time due to a hiccup in the case. That's not an easy task, considering Santa Clara County tends to be partial to mothers. Andrew has represented me in... a few custody hearings and a few child support hearings (with another one coming up next month). Andrew knows exactly what he's doing. He knew what documentation and evidence would be necessary to prove my case to the mediator and the judge. He put together an impressive, very well-organized file filled with these documents, and presented it to the mediator. I went in for an emergency screening at 8am and came out of the courthouse with both of my kids at 5pm! I'm still in shock that we were able to accomplish this, and I know there's no way this would have happened without Andrew. What I value most about his work is that he operates on honesty and truth, and he has the children's best interest at heart. Many lawyers out there would be willing to lie for you, even falsify information to win the case, but not Andrew. I appreciate that so much about him. He's very intelligent, extremely knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and sharp as can be. He's completely trustworthy; I know that I'm in good hands when I go into any situation in family court. This peace of mind that he is able to give me is absolutely priceless. I've found a lawyer for life, I would never want anyone else to represent me in court. He's truly the greatest lawyer you can hire, so look no further!
