Worst lawyer ever

We hired attorney Ziegler to take care of our adoption case. We agreed upon a ONE time payment of $5000. We paid in full upfront which was a huge mistake. Every month or so we would call for about update and every month we were told that our case is moving forward smoothly. This went on for a little ...over a YEAR. At this point we knew something had to be wrong. We eventually recieved a phone call from Mooney Law saying that Attorney Ziegler is no longer with the firm and that our case will be transfered to another attorney. After we spoke to the new lawyer we were told that Ziegler never even attempted to do anything on our case AT ALL. it just sat in a file and collected dust. So he basically got paid and did almost no work. We found put He did fill out some paperwork but it was all filed incorrectly. So it had to be done all over again. Within 3 months of transferring out case to attorney Swartz we were already in court and on our way to winning our adoption case. Which just proves how little attorney zielger actually did on our case. We than ended up owing even more money to mooney law because ziegler didn't fill out our contract correctly so Mooney Law was able to exploit that mistake. We told them that we had agreed to pay a flat fee of $5000 dollars but they said it didn't account for certain fees. Zielger told us it paid for all fees. So just another way he screwed us over.

Kind, compassionate and honest person

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.
