Andrew D Ivers

When I was served with a divorce I thought I would handle it by myself even though my soon to be ex had a lawyer. I learned very quickly that was a bad idea. There are way too many laws, rules, procedures, etc that have to be followed. Doing it myself went downhill pretty quickly so I wanted to get a... lawyer. I asked some people for help finding a lawyer, and several of them gave me Andy's name. He is great at explaining things so that you understand them even when there are a whole lot of moving parts. I was amazed at how well he understands people and can predict what will happen or people will do. After he got involved we eventually came to a settlement that basically gave me what I asked for to start with.

I was faced with an extremely high conflict situation where a bunch of false statements had been made about me, and I was worried for my children's future. I didn't know how to pick a lawyer but got his name from two different friends. He was understanding of my circumstances and answered all of ...my questions. He was candid about how he saw my case and would explain what he thought we should do and why. He knew how things would go and he would plan three or four steps ahead. He is extremely busy and not always available by phone or to respond to email quickly which made me worry a little at first. I would go in and talk with him and feel better, though. His assistant, Jodie, is great and answers questions. In court during the trial was when I really understood why he is recommended highly and so busy. All the things came together and I would realize why certain things had been done, even little things from months before. He is commanding and almost intimidating in court and knew what was called for. I was nervous and scared for my kids, but felt better because how he seemed most at home being in a courtroom and trial and how he could deal with anything. I will never forget seeing my ex wife get flustered and angry so the judge saw who she was. My kids are safe now and I don't want to think what their future might been if I had a different lawyer, especially at the trial.

Mr. Ivers was outstanding in handling our case. He was very professional, highly skilled in handling our hearings and the final trial. We were impressed by his thorough preparation for his presentations and his straightforward way to focus on the major points of what we were trying to accomplish. ...Accessibility to his office and administrator were also a plus.
