Testimonials
“I used Andrew recently for a drug possession charge. At first the crown was asking for time is custody upon conviction. Andrew was able to reduce this to no jail and a small fine. Couldn’t of asked for a better outcome! I wouldn’t recommend any other lawyer when facing criminal charges.”
“I was referred to Andrew by another lawyer to handle my case. The referring lawyer spoke highly of Andrew and now I fully understand why. He is always on time, prepared and available to handle any situation or question. I am extremely happy with the way he handled my preliminary trial and from the depth of his questions I can tell he really put in 110% effort. Thank you Andrew.”

He takes as many cases as he can handle so nobodies case is neglected. answers calls any time, updates of cases are on time, Fees are very reasonable. Thanks to Andrew my breach of under taking charge got withdrawn without any conditions in short period of time. I highly recommend Andrew.”
“When selecting a lawyer to deal with my case I had called about 5 lawyers. Out of the 5 lawyers, Andrew had stood out the most for me because he was a polite, understanding, and truthful attorney. Andrew always picks up calls and emails back quick. Within about 2-3 months, Andrew was able to get the job done and withdrawal all my conditions and charges, which is amazing, since cases can go past over a year. Andrew is an exceptional attorney and I highly recommend him for anyone in need.”
