Great attorney for tenant’s rights

I was a part of a tenant’s association that needed to negotiate the sale of our apartment building, and Andrew was so effective at guiding us through the process. He was extremely responsive and transparent, and negotiated a contract that was more than satisfactory for all of the tenants in the assoc...iation. We just received our final payment, and Andrew was the reason we were able to have a stress-free move out of our building. I would not think twice about recommending him to anyone in need of an attorney, and especially for anything involving DC tenant’s rights. Thank you Andrew!

A+ . Smart as a whip and great client engagement

I've worked with a number of attorneys and professional service firms but, Andrew Kirtley sits right at the top. He is very knowledgeable in the area of tenant representation and demonstrates a killer mindset for serving the client. I wish all of my interactions with attorneys were this good. I firs...t met with Andrew on a Friday afternoon and left our meeting feeling absolutely great going into the weekend. I was impressed with his advice and felt confident in our plan of action. Aside from that Andrew is very engaging and the sort of person that everyone wants to work with.

Great job handling settlement

Andrew did a great job understanding and giving guidance during the initial consultation. After I hired him, he quickly and efficiently worked with the other side to get a fair settlement. The whole way he was quick to respond to questions from me, thorough in explaining my rights and obligations, ...and helped me keep a level head. Hopefully the need does not arise again, but if I do need his services again I will definitely contact him.

Very Satisfied Client

Mr.Andrew Kirtley walked me through the entire process of litigation in the District of Columbia and Maryland. He explained all my options and risks fully to the understanding of a non lawyer. With all that information, I was able to make an informed choice. He then walked me through the entire litig...ation and he made sure my interests were not only paramount, but he got me the best deal that was available under those circumstances. He was present in court on time, all the time. He made me feel as if I was the only client he was representing in all of the 6-8 months . in summary i will hire Mr. Andrew Kirtley again if need be

Very helpful

My husband and I worked with Andrew regarding an issue with our landlord. He listened carefully as we described our situation and responded to all of our questions thoughtfully. It is clear that he is extremely knowledgable about tenants rights.
