I am indebted to this man.

After having a terrible experience experience with a lawyer who happens to have a "5 star" rating on this website, I consider it a crime Mr. Sitzer doesn't have a "5 star" rating himself. It should be a crime anyway. He gave me a deal by deal break down in how good my case was and what to expect a...bout taking things to trial. He was incredibly timely and undoubtedly knowledgeable to his responses to my questions. I made a mistake and I paid a price for that mistake. I drove with a BAC of .08. I walked out of that experience learning a lesson or two and I took my licks instead of going to trial because I just couldn't deal with going to trial with my current economic situation. However, undoubtedly without him, I would have been lost and would have dealt with jail time and even heftier fines including community service hours over this mistake. I still feel I owe the guy a lot more than the fees I paid him.

Excellent Attorney

Mr. Sitzer help, enabling me to resolve my case, was invaluable. He is extremely knowledgeable and conscientious. I would not hesitate to recommend him to family and friends.

Great Attorney

Andrew Sitzer is a very caring, thorough, knowledgeable and professional lawyer. We went to two other lawyers, paid huge deposits and fees with no results before we were fortunate enough to find him. He went to court on our son's behalf approximately 15 times for a jury trial and we didn't have to ...mortgage our house. He always responded to our phone messages and questions the same day and even visited our son after hours when he was in jail awaiting his court dates. He has forever changed our opinions of lawyers and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Relationship: Co-worker

"I have known Andrew since the beginnings of his legal career. A former colleague at an IP boutique, Andrew has found his true calling in helping the accused and injured. His abilities can be gleaned from the results he achieves for his clients, but that he is also one of the most decent human beings I have known is something one has to experience personally and is an additional quality that is anything but given in his line of work."

"Mr. Sitzer is not only a brilliantly skilled attorney, but the trait that sets him apart from others is that he genuinely cares for his clients and he is a fair man. When selecting an attorney, you want to choose somebody who's not just after the legal fees, but rather someone who will take on your case and fight for you as if they were fighting for their own cause. Andrew is definitely that type of rare lawyer."
