About Andrew
Biography
I am focused exclusively on personal injury litigation. I have twenty five years of legal experience ranging criminal defense and prosecution as a Navy Judge Advocate to twenty years defending and prosecuting personal injury cases for both individuals and insurance companies. The best part about being a lawyer is helping a client work their way through the legal system and most importantly getting to know them as a person.

Personal injury
I needed a lawyer for a personal injury. Andrew had knowledge of both sides of injury (prosecution and defense) so he knew what to expect at all phases. He made me comfortable through the process. Answered all my questions, was available most the time and when he wasn't returned my calls promptly. ...

Would use his services again
In an injury case, we went through the mediation process where he defended me. Professional, attention to detail, punctual. He explained my case all along the way and I am sure that it turned out as well as it could have for me. Best rating - I would use him again.
