Some comments from clients:
"Andrea provided a positive experience that gave me the trust and comfort I needed during a very complicated journey that had a time span of over 12 years. She was supportive and transparent from the moment that I first sat down with her to discuss the representation that I needed. I talked to multiple lawyers and her approach during that visit was the winning factor in why I hired her to represent me. She is a great listener, gave clear and concise legal guidance and very empathetic. I learned a lot from Andrea over the years - the most important lesson was to trust the process. She was flexible and made sure she found time for me and my case. She made sure I understood what to expect at each phase of the process and that I was well-prepared. After many years of working with her - I highly recommended Andrea and have sent more clients her way and they, too, have been equally as satisfied with her services." N., Family Court and Divorce, March 2021

"I want to start out by saying that when I was “attorney shopping” in December of 2019, about ~5 other local attorneys denied my case after brief consultations. Although I strongly believed in my case, my story & my reasoning as to why a change of custody (which is very hard to achieve once already in place) would benefit my child, I felt that no one would take the time to consider my situation or hear me out & I was at a dead end.
My first phone consult with Andrea was so relieving that I cried. She LISTENED, empathized & agreed to take my case even though it wasn’t nearly the strongest. Throughout the almost year that we worked together, I was NOT the easiest client (extremely anxious, sent lots of emails, very stressed out). She kept me grounded, was straight forward, put me in my place when I needed it (I definitely needed it sometimes), steered me away from fighting the wrong fights, didn’t sugar coat or promise anything, but always remained extremely respectful. She also ALWAYS advocated for my child even if it meant correcting me on what wasn’t worth fighting my ex over vs what was most beneficial for my child. She genuinely wanted what was best for my child & I.
Andrea also would provide me with/advise me on all options before speaking on my behalf but always ultimately followed my lead & respected my wishes as her client, even when she was unsure of what the outcome would be. Needless to say, her advisement & knowledge paired with my gut feelings/wishes achieved our ultimate goal, a change in custody!!! & even better- it was reached in settlement (I was able to avoid the stress/trauma of a trial as well as thousands more in attorney fees).
One year ago I felt so hopeless. Today life is beautiful & I don’t think it would be if it weren’t for Andrea’s services." E., November 2020, Custody
