Posted by anonymous | October 06, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

STELLAR REPRESENTATION AAA++++++++++

The attorney that did my divorce suddenly quit Family Law in the middle of my Contempt case and I was reluctantly assigned to Andrew. She had been top notch and he had some pretty big shoes to fill. Well, he certainly did not disappoint! Became a blessing in disguise and jumped right in without miss...ing a beat. My case dragged on for a VERY long time and Andrew remained genuine and commited every step of the way. He was consistently calm and confident during this prolonged tumultuous time that at times became an overwhelming painful period for my sons and I. He is an excellent listener with a real talent for accurately reading people and the mood in the courtroom - he is humble and doesn't have that lawyer big ego dominating his every move. Furthermore, I never felt like he was padding the bill or doing unnecessary work. Andrew Desautel is a man of great character and integrity - a rare find in the legal world.

Dedicated Attorney

Andrew jumped into an on going child custody case and was a ROCK STAR. He took time to listen to and understand my concerns and he advocated for me on all points. My case(s) spanned several years and he was dedicated for the duration. He takes time to explain the law and come up viable and realist...ic solutions. I highly recommend him as an attorney.

EXCELLENT Attorney

My former husband, who I separated in 2000 and divorced in 2004, has filed dozens of actions in Forsyth County until now, 2012. Anyone who knows anything about this picturesque area of manicured homes in Atlanta loves it--until they meet the blackness of the highly vicious and prejudiced court syste...m against women in Forsyth County, Georgia. Andrew has no fear. I have worked with numerous attorneys, and primarily had good representation. However, Andrew, without a doubt stands out among family law attorneys. He is EXCELLENT. He is very patient, extremely detail oriented, honest and passionate about his work. He truly is an attorney who cares about his clients. Many attorneys tend to be egotistical, Andrew is absolutely humble, and shuns his success. Andrew communicated with me on all levels. I have hired 10 family law attorneys since 2000 due to my former husband's love of litigation against me. Many busy family law attorneys are very difficult to get in touch with, rarely respond. Not Andrew. If I left a message, he always either returns the call himself, or has his assistant professionally handle the call. Very professional in all aspects. If I have ever sent him an e-mail, he always responds. Andrew is a rare gem among this least loved area of the law. Without a doubt, on any level, I would trust Andrew to defend me on any type of case. If he is this good in family law, where contention is rampant, I believe he would be equally as good in personal injury, criminal or any area he chooses to practice. Without any reservation, I highly recommend Andrew Deautel. He is an EXCELLENT attorney.
