Brought the fight I didnt have....

I was a first time offender of DWI, and Andrew made me feel like I had someone from the winning team on my side, and did not treat me like a criminal. He was punctual, professional, and explained things so I could be on the same level of understanding. Right when I felt there was no hope to save my r...ecord, he helped me fight for my life back. I cannot say thank you enough. I could not have done this alone.

DUI and DWI lawyer | Oct 17

Relationship: Co-worker

"Andrew is an exceptional attorney and I provide this endorsement without hesitation. I had the privilege of first meeting Andrew in law school where I found him to be a bright and devoted student. As he and I transitioned into our legal careers, I witnessed his ability to deftly handle complex and challenging cases. His ability to listen to clients' concerns and then address them with empathy and a carefully thought out solution is first rate. Moreover, I find his understanding of the laws and regulations surrounding DWI/DUI defense in New York to be particularly impressive. I endorse this lawyer."

DUI and DWI lawyer | Jun 17

Relationship: Co-worker

"I have had the privilege of working directly with Mr. Lyons on a number of DWI matters. He works passionately to obtain the best possible result for each and every one of his clients. Mr. Lyons is able to do this by constantly building upon his already impressive knowledge of DWI defense. He has an uncanny ability to review cases from different angles in order to make sure no stone is left unturned when defending his clients. Mr. Lyons is a testament to the fact that there is no "one way" to handle a case. He takes a real interest in the lives in each of his clients and brainstorms the best way to handle each individual client's case."

DUI and DWI lawyer | May 09

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"Andrew is an exceptional young lawyer who has proven his worth in a very short time. His academic credentials are excellent - Wake Forest and Syracuse Law - and he excelled at both institutions. He has built on his academic record with a solid record of DWI defense, and has already handled a number of complex, challenging cases. It is a privilege to work with a lawyer this intelligent and capable, as any client whose case he handles will quickly learn. I endorse this lawyer."
