Client

Andy is an intelligent and competent lawyer. He has done legal research for my business, developed a trust, will and provided legal services on real estate for me and my husband.

Posted by anonymous | March 23, 2017 | Business

Go Somewhere Else!

I called for a consult to see if I needed legal counsel for a business issue I was having. Mr. Sieja was smug, rude and very condescending. This is not a person I would ever want to deal with in a professional manner. I would highly suggest going to another firm where the client or potential client i...s treated as an equal and not a child who has done something wrong.

Family Trust & LLC

Andrew provided our family with wonderful support to work thru difficult issues with our Family Trust and creation of a Family, LLC to protect the family cottage. He was attentive to our family and individual concerns and provided his perspectives and recommendations based upon his sound professiona...l legal expertise and experience.

Estate Settlement

Mr. Sieja and staff were very professional, helpful and sympathetic in the settlement of my fathers estate. I would highly recommend their services to anyone needing assistance. Thank You

Capable and Dependable

Mr. Sieja represented me in a complicated probate case that lasted well over a year. I consistently received excellent legal advice and support, and Mr. Sieja was persistent in driving the case to a favorable outcome, even as the opposing side dragged the case out for months past the agreed settlemen...t. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Sieja to anyone in need of competent, caring representation.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Andy and I worked opposite each other on a probate matter that was emotionally charged. I observed his skill and knowledge first hand. Equally important, and especially in this case, was his courtesy and professionalism toward the Court, its staff, as well as me and my staff. Even though we were on opposite sides, it was a pleasure working with Andy to achieve results beneficial to our respective clients."

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.
