Andrew is terrific!

The very thought of attempting to navigate the complexities of the justice system -- let alone actually doing it -- is no easy feat, however, Mr. Janecki saw my problems and took them head on without any hesitation. His unwavering commitment to my case gave me the hope and the confidence to see my ca...se through to the end, rather than give up/give in to the DA's original plea deal(s) at the very beginning. His strategic approach, attention to detail, and professionalism were evident from our initial telephone call of last June, to the final (and best!) resolution of my case today. The value of the positive results he secured for me and the peace of mind he has provided along the way are immeasurable. I feel very fortunate to have had him by side during this very challenging time for me. His exceptional skills as an attorney have left me nothing short of impressed and have further inspired me to continue my legal education to hopefully one day be able to offer the same high-quality of services to my own clients.

Great Lawyer and Great person

I hired Andrew for a very serious DUI incident I was related in. It had serious implications for me and I was very pleased with Andrews conduct as my attorney. He always made sure I understood what his thought process was and always made sure that I was informed and able to make the best decisions th...at I could. My case was particularly bad and complicated and he did a fantastic job making the right moves for me and really stepping up to the plate for me. I would recommend him with no doubts in my mind.

Excellent attorney

I was looking for an attorney to represent me in a case that I needed immediate help on. Andrew Janecki was the one who I called and I never looked back! Andrew is an excellent attorney. He is honest, fair, professional and went above and beyond to get my case dismissed. He always made sure I knew th...e status of my case and kept me updated with any new information. I am truly happy with the results and his knowledge of the court system. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a Criminal Defense Attorney. You will not be disappointed!

Great help during a very difficult time

Andrew Janecki helped us through a very difficult time. We hired him to defend my husband in a criminal case and through the whole process he was always kind and supportive and he took the time to explain everything that was going on. He fought hard for my husband and was always kind to us and our fa...mily members. Thanks to Mr. Janecki, my husband did not have to serve any time in jail, which I know would not have happened had it not been for his help. I would recommend Andrew Janecki to anyone seeking the services of a criminal defense attorney in Santa Cruz County.
