Truly Excellent Service

I have leveraged Andrew's legal council for almost a decade to obtain my and my wife's permanent residence (at different times), and have an excellent experience though the process. Mine wasn't the easiest case to manage given issues created by prior legal council at my company, but Andrew was very k...nowledgeable, resourceful and put in great care into investigating the best options to calmly manage my case successfully to its approval. Having compared my experience to others with different legal council, I appreciated Andrew's expertise and thoughtfulness to find solutions even more. I would strongly recommend him to any friends.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
