Andrew Scott Ziegler

Andrew Ziegler was my Lawyer. I hired him as a lawyer to take care of my divorce. I was very disappointed in his actions and his service that I had to go hire a new lawyer. I've called Attorney Swartz(who the office lady told me to contact if there was a problem) to speak to him about my case and abo...ut Andrew but I didn't receive a call back. So when I hired Andrew I gave him a $2,000 retainer fee. Ever since then I have documented everything, the times we have talked, dates and what was discussed. Andrew lied, gave me the run around and I personally feel like he cheated me out of my money. After hiring Andrew I sent multiples text and messages with no response. The office lady told me he was in quarantine 3 times different times, once he was in the mountains but when I called one of the final times he was in the office but still I never received a call back. I had to call his paralegal who was nice enough to get Andrew to call me back. Andrew sent no idealized reports EVER even after I asked him too. He would tell me to go for support then he would tell me he never said that and to go through the master. He kept prolonging the process, giving me the run around and switching the plan so he could I guess chip more and more off the retainer. He would tell me one thing then tell me another thing. I honestly don't think he could keep track of what he was doing. He told me he sent the info about the master through text but never sent it, I asked him to screen shot the text and resend it but he didn't do that, that's how I know he lied. I sent him photos of the living conditions my kids were living in with their dad and he didn't care about it to even respond or fight for the well being of my children. Right before I fired him he told me he didn't have time for my case and he barely got to see his family, then why take my case on. That was the last straw before I fired him and found someone else which is doing a great job by the way. I picked up my packet of documents from his office which was supposed to contain the rest of my retainer fee and idolized report which did not. I have called and texted Andrew since then to get this. He was in Hershey park enjoying "family time", he said he sent it and would look when he got back into the office. I gave him two weeks then reached out again. He then told me he decided to go out on his own and work for himself. Which I found out he got fired. Funny how that all worked out. He said I had to get ahold of this guy George, I guess George is one of the main guys in charge of Mooney Law and that he would also contact him to see what can be done about getting me some of my money back. If he didn't feel like he was in the wrong why would he tell me he would reach out to George to get some of my money back and see what can be done. It's funny how that all worked out, that he's not working there. $2,000 for what? So here's another thing, I spoke to George. He said he reviewed my file at length and it appeared Andrew did significant work on my case and communicated with me and opposing counsel on numerous occasions which has used up your retainer. I asked him to send me my report on how my retainer was used. Multiple times I've asked. I reviewed It myself to see if things lined up correctly and they did not. I even had $188 left that went from $188 to $0. So they were just going to keep the rest of my money? They finally did send it after I asked, after telling them I'll give a bad review and report what has happened. So with this I have to give one star.

We needed legal help for a custody/adoption situation. We needed it pretty fast. From day one Andy was very compassionate and honest about everything. He reviewed all the paperwork ( from a previous lawyer who wouldn’t return our calls and showed up late to court completely unprepared). Andy was very... thorough and talked to us in a way we could understand. He was very honest and up front with us, even if he had to say something we didn’t like. He explained every detail and if we had questions he got back to us in a timely manner and answered them. Andy took all the stress and worries ( from previous lawyer ) and helped us relax a little. Andy is not just any lawyer, he cares about his clients. Andy took our mess and we ended up completing the custody and adoption with ease. I have dealt with a few lawyers in my life, ( divorce, children and youth, and custody and adoption) and Andy by far exceeded all of them. He truly loves his job and wants clients to be happy. We ended up using Andy for another issue with a contractor ( who didn’t do a good job at our home) and we were dealing with it for years. Thankfully Andy also got that all squared away for us also. We also used Andy to draw up a will. Andy has even went out of his way to come to our house when I couldn’t come to him. He will truly do his best to make any process easier. I can’t recommend Andy enough. He works hard day and night to get things done. He truly has been a blessing to our family.

I have gone through custody, domestics and suing someone and had previously hired several different attorneys. I have some legal knowledge and always felt those people were not on inadequate, but not compassionate. Wasting my time and money. Fired them all and did it myself. Until I found Andrew. I'v...e had him now for four years. I have recommended him to every single person I know who needs an attorney. You will not just be a name w a bill to him. He will put his heart into your case. Do not be fooled by other ones blowing smoke and not putting in the effort. You will never question if Andrew has ur best interest at heart and if he is diligently working daily on your case.
