Whenever I make a mistake or get in trouble, I immediately contact Mr. Andrews at Wolcott Rivers Gates Law Firm. I have hired Mr. Andrews for three separate situations and he always represents me to the fullest with his knowledge of the law - take a minute and look at his experience as a former prosecutor and you'll see why he is one of the top defense attorneys in Hampton Roads. He is extremely reliable, trustworthy, and well respected in the courtroom.

Mark went above and beyond for my case. His team always kept up with communication consistently. He is amazing at what he does and the other cases in the courtroom that he had was just awesome to watch. I saw others lawyers step up for traffic cases and they just did not compare to him. Very knowledgeable and fluid in his delivery! I highly recommend Mark!

He truly does cares about his clients and explains the process in a straight forward, professional, compassionate manner.

Andrew was very helpful in this case even with the difficulty of my case it was reduced which really made it even better. It was my first time and hopefully my last but I wasn’t feeling scared or worried with him on my side helping me through it.

Mr.Andrews was very professional, was on time and always kept in touch for if I had questions and to update me on proceedings. He was compassionate to my situation and did everything in his power to gather information and make things go smoothly. He got my case significantly reduced and saved me a lot of time and money, I would recommend him to anyone looking for legal help as he has a vast amount of knowledge and experience that did not lead me astray. He gets things done and truly keeps his clients best interests at heart. 10/10 in my opinion.
