Reviews

Please do not use Andy. I never give reviews and I got divorced a long time ago but I have to let people know how bad this attorney is. Between my horrible experience and a friend of mine whose husband used Andy, he is just really bad at what he does. I was in a long term marriage and Andy was only able to get me a 2.5 year reviewable. If I was making any money, I can see how something like that could happen, but I was a stay at home mom for most of my marriage. Basically, I had to go through the financial and emotional burden of a court divorce twice. My new attorney was exceptional and did an amazing job. She was such an advocate and was able to undo much of what Andy allowed. It only emphasized just how bad Andy was. I highly recommend that you try someone else.
I originally met with Andy for a consult and he was very thorough about how the process worked. He was busy and so he had his associate Sharon take over my case. Sharon was great about listening to me and taking care of all the details. Ultimately, Andy and Sharon worked together to resolve my case. Their assistants, Jen and Donna, are also great teammates who diligently responded to help me when Andy and Sharon were in and out of the office for court. I would highly recommend this team!
Andy was excellent in our divorce mediation process. He was fair, straightforward and adept at quickly understanding complicated relationship dynamics - and his knack for using appropriate humor for levity helps clear some of the tension and stress of these situations. His staff, particularly his assistant Jen, was helpful and professional. My attorney even said she’s come across a lot of mediators and that the welcome packet we received from Andy’s firm was impressive and not something she sees often. I highly recommend his services on calmly guiding clients through a difficult and emotional process.
Andy is a great family attorney. He knows the law thoroughly and served as great guidepost while I navigated a parental agreement. He has his clients best interest in mind at all times and offers counsel to resolve issues in a peaceful manner. I appreciate his approach, especially with children involved. I would recommend him to anyone needing counsel through a divorce and parental agreement negotiations.
Andy, Wendy, and their team are the absolute best lawyers you want in your corner as you are going through a divorce. They are extremely knowledgeable in the law, and do a phenomenal job to attain what you are fighting for. When you are going through one of the worst times in your life, it is so comforting to have them navigating you through the uncertainties. They will make sure you are well prepared for every encounter you face whether that be mediation, the Guardian at Leitem for your children, depositions, trial, and anything you are up against. They are relentless in achieving what is right and just, and they will keep you and your children’s best interests a top priority. They go above and beyond to give you the VIP treatment and the confidence you will need during this extremely difficult time. They truly do care about you, and will treat you like family. You can have full assurance and peace when you are in their hands.
