Client Review

Andy always kept us informed every step of the way. He provided insight that helped us make decisions based on his past experiences, which proved to be very beneficial for us in the end. In all dealings with other Attorneys, it appeared that he had their respect as well, which proves invaluable dur...ing negotiations. We wouldn't have a second thought recommending, or using Andy again.

Nursing home abuse and neglect lawyer | Mar 15

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. It was actually more product liability than nursing home neglect, but Andy was kind enough to refer a case to my office following the death of an elderly resident. He was great professional with whom to work as a teammate, he resolved all of the probate in lightning fast speed, he counseled the adult children so they understood each step of the litigation assigned to me, and he was a great sounding board when the defendants came to us with a series of offers. His involvement made my technical work of proving who was at fault a pleasure as he worked with the clients, explaining each step to them. I have also had the pleasure of working with him as opposing counsel in a suit arising out of a vehicle accident in which my client was injured, he proved to be even a better adversary. His questioning of the witnesses was sharp and on point. Best of all, he understands people, he conducts himself as a professional, he is someone you want on your side of the case!"

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.
