"In my opinion, Andy had thorough explanations for everything regarding my case. He paid great attention to detail and laid out all the facts and possible outcomes for me. I appreciated his honesty and that he was realistic regarding the situation in my case. He did not make any promises, but I felt that he counseled me to the best of his ability. In the end, I was happy with the results in my case, and I know now that I have gained a counselor and friend for life. Thank you, Andy, for your time, attention, and care regarding my case."
