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.

Worst Attorney Ever!!!!! Don't hire him!!!!
I am writing this review to express my profound frustration and disappointment with the legal services provided by Attorney Andy. My experience has been nothing short of infuriating, and I feel compelled to share my feelings. From the outset, the lack of effective communication has been maddening....

Does not respond to Rocket Layer questions
Did not respond for 7 days to important question. Just responded first questions. I would not work with this person at all. Not helpful, provides general answer you can get from google.

Andy was incredibly responsive, helpful and thorough when I came to him after finding him with a Google search that turned up a blog post he had written about the very issue I was having with a private-party vehicle sale. He helped me consider all the angles of my problem and gave me several ways to ...

Real Lawyer
Andy handled my divorce case and another case related to the divorce. It was a long drawn out two years and Andy was there every step of the way. Literally over 20 court appearances. He returns calls promptly and answers emails. This is rare, believe me, when busy dealing with clients. I have used o...

Tenant problem
