Andrew C Lauersdorf's Lawyer Endorsements
"Andy knows his stuff. I have seen him give presentations on several occasions and know him to be both skilled and knowledgeable."
"Andy and I worked together on two separate matters in litigation. Andy's natural ability to relate to witnesses and juries makes him an exceptional trial attorney. I have been consistently impressed by Andy's ability to simplify a complex analysis to make it interesting and easy to follow. In one of the cases on which Andy and I worked together, our trial team split up and presented the case to a mock jury. Andy presented the defense position, which we all thought was an uphill battle. The jurors described Andy on their feedback forms as "forthcoming," "professional," "well-informed," and "convincing." Overall, it was apparent during the jurors' group discussions that they were convinced by Andy's honest, straight-forward approach, and that carried the win at the end of the day."
