Client Reviews
"I was dealing with a tricky matter and Andrew was very sympathetic and advised me to the best of his ability. Being highly accomplished and experienced, his advice enabled me to take the right decision regarding the legal matters I was dealing with. I highly recommend Andrew."
"I was involved in a civil rights lawsuit in which the other side was represented by a well-known attorney with a reputation for being tough to beat. The opposing party was unreasonable and difficult to deal. As a result, we were forced to go to trial which lasted an entire week. The whole ordeal was stressful for my family and I, but Andrew was great. From the moment opening statements were made it was clear that I had the best attorney in the courtroom. The jury obviously agreed as they delivered a verdict in my favor and awarded me a judgment I am very happy with. - Marcus N."
"Andrew was invaluable in helping my family through a difficult time. After undergoing several surgeries, my insurance provider refused to cover the costs. As a result, the hospital sued me for failing to pay the bills. Every attorney I spoke with said I had no case and refused to represent me – except Andrew. Not only did Andrew agree to defend me, but he countersued my insurance provider and the hospital as well. Despite going against several large law firms, Andrew quickly got the hospital’s case against me dismissed and forced the insurance company into a settlement that covered the cost of the surgeries, paid for my time and aggravation, and kept my family out of financial hardship. – John C."
