"I endorse this lawyer. She is a strong advocate and works collaboratively to find creative solutions to complex problems. I highly recommend her."
"I highly endorse Ms. Andrea Justo. She is competent, organized, compassionate, articulate, thoughtful, responsive, goal- and settlement-oriented yet aggressive in her pursuit of fairness for her clients. She is the "full-package" lawyer who can take a case from start to finish, seemingly always willing to learn, along with intentional pursuit of a good reputation beside counsel and before judges. Ms. Justo is the perfect example of "the sky's the limit" for her career and her impact on the family law profession, which only yields great results for her clients. I'm honored and proud to work with her. Jim"
