Superhero in a suit

I was in a severe car accident. My Lawyer, Andres, saved the day and saved me time and money. He help me address my situation with the party who hit me with their vehicle and all insurances involved. He ensured I attended all my medical check up and guided me from beginning to end. He made a very se...rious situation feel less stressful and He was able to resolve my case in my favor. Thank you so much.

His amazing track record as well as his the reputation in the courthouse sealed my DUI case up and I couldn't be more happier with the r...esults. I truly thank you for putting me at ease throughout the stressful situation and most importantly getting the amazing results that you did!

Resolved serious allegations against me from my former employer who threatened civil lawsuit and criminal prosecution.

I was involved in a dispute with a former employer who made serious allegations against me. I was being threatened with a potential civil lawsuit and criminal prosecution. I was very concerned that my new job would be in jeopardy, not to mention potentially being prosecuted for a crime. Fortunately..., I was referred to Andres Carnahan by a friend. From the moment I first spoke to Andres, I felt at ease. His personality and approach to the way he handled my situation was amazing. He calmed me down, asked me several questions, and asked me to provide him with all of my new-hire paperwork from my previous job. He responded back to me within 24 hours after researching my paperwork and he let me know what my rights were and what I actions I could take to avoid going to court and to prevent my new job from finding out. In addition to helping me resolve the dispute, during the process he clearly explained the laws to me and used words that I could understand. Not only did he take the time to research and investigate all aspects of my situation but he helped educate me about all of this at the same. I wish that there were more people like Andres in other aspects of life because one can learn a lot if they are educated in any process they are a part of. I would definitely refer Andres to anyone of my family and friends.
