About Andy
Biography
Hi everyone.
I'm a solo practice lawyer in the San Francisco Bay Area. Most of my cases seem to be in the family law, immigration, wills and trusts, and identity theft areas. However, I maintain a general practice as well and have dealt with the gamut from personal injury to licensing to debt collection and defense. One of the reasons I went to law school was to be able to help people. In my experience, some people will have really complex problems that require a specialist of some kind. However, most people's problems are going to be pretty simple and general.
I can't help everyone, but I can do my best to help as many people as I can. If that's you, I'd love to hear from you.

Child Support question
I found Andy to be EXTREMLY helpful and actually answered the phone and spoke with me for 30 minutes for free! His easy demeaner and wealth of knowledge helped me to decide which way to go with my case. I only wish I lived closer so I could retain him as my primary attorney! He's 8 hours away..:(

He returns calls promptly and answers emails. This is rare, believe me, when busy dealing with clients. I have used o...
