Amazing Family Law Attorney

Andrew is not only a great communicator, he's an excellent listener. He's always kind, compassionate, and sympathetic to his client's needs. He's very knowledgeable in all areas of his field and I have complete confidence in him to handle any of my future legal needs, as well as refer him to anyone... in need of a skilled and talented family law attorney.

Wealth of knowledge

Andrew is an extremely knowledgeable family law attorney. He is an absolute legal professional with communication and writing skills that are second to none. He answered all of my legal questions with thorough, well thought out answers. More importantly he truly cares about the practice of law and he... has an ever burning desire to help people which is a breath of fresh air in comparison to other less empathetic attorneys. I am thoroughly impressed with Andrew and his extreme professionalism. Thank you very much Andrew for all of your excellent and wise legal advice.

Recommendation

I referred Andrew to a friend of mine that had a family dispute between siblings. My friend thanked me for the introduction. Andrew was able to provide sound advise and explain all options available to her.

Avvo Rating

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.
