Andrea H McNeely's Lawyer Endorsements
"Andrea is a whip-smart and compassionate attorney. She is an aggressive advocate for her clients yet exercises professionalism with opposing counsel."
"Andrea is a smart, hardworking lawyer. She is dedicated to her clients and knows how to achieve the best possible results. I endorse this lawyer."
"Andrea is a top-notch trial attorney, and is an expert in litigating complex business and intellectual property cases. She has helped a number of our shared clients get great results in both federal and state courts, and I can't speak highly enough of both her legal knowledge and her ability to relate to and work with a broad range of clients. She is smart, hard-working, and innovative, and has earned the respect and trust of not only the clients with whom she works, but also lawyers in our community (including her adversaries...which is saying something). Many people are wary of working with a litigator (and wary of the litigation process in general), and Andrea always does an amazing job of helping these clients understand the process and what to expect--and this in turn reduces their anxiety. The clients I have referred to her have always been very, very happy with her work, and would welcome the opportunity to work with her again."
"Andrea is savvy, hard working and able to achieve results collaboratively, or -- when needed -- through advocacy and the trial process. I endorse this lawyer."
"Andrea is a skilled advocate in the courtroom. I endorse this lawyer."
