Mark was extremely attentive and responsive regarding the matter we were looking to address in court. He guided me through the process of getting him the information he needed regarding the situation we were looking to rectify in court. I would highly recommend Mark for any case he is willing to help with, as he's very knowledgeable, but just as important is realistic with the facts and how that applies to your case. He was extremely compassionate regarding the situation and was very accessible to answer questions leading up to the court date. Mark is definitely great at what he does, and his passion for what he does shows. More importantly, he truly cares about each person's outcome to make them better through whatever is being handled in the court.

Dropped my reckless driving ticket to just 19 over as a misdemeanor, never would of thought I'd get out of that not going to jail but he got me through, got the judge to give me two options. He was very persuasive and professional.

Where do I begin? Mark and his team have been beyond professional for the last 7 months. He answered all of my calls and questions without judgement. He even responded after hours. My daughter was arrested for a DUI and our family was stressed, to say the least! We did not agree with the actions taken and were determined to find the best legal representation for our family. Mark dedicated so much time to do careful research, look at video footage, review all evidence presented, etc. After solidifying a legal plan to move forward, he kept us abreast every step of the way to ensure we understood all moving parts. We are happy to announce that the results were WELL WORTH IT! The charges against my daughter were completely dropped and she was found NOT GUILTY! Our family is singing Mark’s praises today. We are so pleased with our decision to hire him as our legal representation. He is knowledgeable of the law, able to articulate his thoughts, well respected and the absolute best law

Working with this lawyer was a good experience and he had my best interest the whole time. I will be using this law firm in the future for any legal needs. Highly recommended. Lastly his assistant Jessica was great at communication when he was unavailable to answer any questions needed.

Mark's advice was spot on! His professionalism immediately instilled in me a great level of trust. His knowledge of the police, prosecutor and judge were crucial. The trial went exactly as he predicted. He was correct in what would and would not be accepted by the court. The Judge in issuing his ruling to dismiss the charges followed the case as Mark had laid it out. Mark very sharp, extremely capable and justifiably confident. He is my guy anytime I may need help or advice.

Mr. Andrews was extremely helpful in not only understanding the potential outcomes of my asap violation, but also in mitigating any negative consequences. Upfront and straight forward from the start and did a great job of keeping me updated along the way from the day I hired until court, and was helpful in providing me the next steps I needed to take care of. Would highly recommend Mr. Andrews.

I have known Mr. Andrews for many years as a friend, but until now I have not needed him to assist in legal matters. He handled my case with absolute professionalism and ease. I am grateful for Mr. Andrew's concern for my well-being and legal rights, and his ability to articulate the law in a way for me to understand. Jessica was very responsive and assisted me every step of the way. While I was active duty, I recommended Mr. Andrews to many of my junior sailors with positive outcomes, and now I have one of my own. I am beyond please with the outcome of my case. Thank you both.
