Highly Skilled, Hardworking and Very honest lawyer

I worked with Andrew on a case for a good 18 months. After working with him for extended period of time, I have a very clear idea about Andrew and here is a summary of what I found: 1) Extremely strong lawyer: his work including is simply unbelievable; to say the least. He is very knowledgably about... everything has to do with law and legal matters. He never failed to impress me every time he drafts some paperwork and never failed to impress me on phone calls. The advice you get from Andrew are extremely valuable. 2) Very honest person: Andrew’s is extremely honest and he never ever tried to do work (like many other lawyers) that has little value to me even though he could benefit from it. He was always putting my interests before his interests, and this happened in dozens of scenarios. 3) Unbelievable writing skills: it is well-known that lawyers’ writings and choice of words are excellent, but Andrew is at a different level. I was employed for many companies in the last 10 years and I worked with many lawyers on various contracts. Andrew is way better than anyone I worked with by a massive margin. 4) Hardworking: he is always available, and always respond within a very short period of time. He replies to emails after hours, and even after midnight. 5) Very nice person: I met Andrew couple of times in person and I had a great time with him. This is a person you would live to spend time with, and you would definitely like to work with him on anything. 6) Very smart: he is very intelligent, and has a wide understanding of modern technologies. I have met lawyers that you need to explain to them terms from my industry. In Andrew’s case, he was so aware of our industry thoroughly and we did not need to spend time to educate him on anything. Furthermore, he has deep analytical skills that came handy in many situations. It is critical to work with a highly intelligent lawyer, and Andrew has that in him. It would have been so counterproductive to spend time explaining every detail to him, he knew everything. 
I highly recommend working with Andrew, he is unbelievable lawyer. I think I was very lucky to work with him, and I recommend anyone to hire Andrew. He has it all given my experience.

Great Patent Litigation Attorney

When I was in house as head of the legal department, Andrew defended a multi-party patent litigation and got a defense judgment in our favor and an award of attorney’s fees. The award was upheld on appeal. While the plaintiff claimed not to be able to pay the award of attorneys’ fees, Andrew’s pers...istence resulted in a significant payment. Andrew is very knowledgeable, pragmatic and cost effective. I have had occasion since that case to work with him on other matters and haven’t hesitated in referring other business colleagues and attorneys to him.

Strong legal and technical skills that resulted in excellent work.

My company, a Fortune 200 biotech company, hired Andrew not only for his specialized expertise in both patent litigation and patent procurement, but also for his advanced technical knowledge. After retaining him, Andrew quickly and thoroughly grasped our complex technology that combined life sciences..., engineering, and material sciences. He then analyzed multiple competitor patents and evaluated their potential impact on this technology. We were pleased when Andrew provided us with clear, detailed, and useful opinions on these patents, thus providing guidance for our future research and business efforts. Importantly, Andrew delivered these opinions within a tight budget and time-frame, all without compromising quality. As in-house counsel, I was Andrew’s primary client for this matter. I believe Andrew’s experience, skill, and knowledge, both in the technical and legal domains, were critical in delivering this high quality of work product. Moreover, Andrew was able to work seamlessly with members of the legal team at various levels, as well as with the responsible business executive. Our team was very impressed with Andrew’s work, and I would unequivocally recommend Andrew to others for all manner of patent-related work.

Excellent intellectual property litigator

I worked with Andrew on patent litigation defending several large well-known companies. I found Andrew’s work to be efficient and effective. Plus, he is a pleasure to work with. Now, I am in-house intellectual property counsel. I have recommended that we hire Andrew for at least one litigation ma...tter and would not hesitate to recommend him to my company or other companies looking to hire an intellectual property litigator.
