Voices of Those We've Defended
One of the things that sets Andrew apart from other lawyers is that he's not just a lawyer, he's a counselor, making himself available to answer any questions you have. He answered my cell phone call when he could, we emailed back and forth, he answered texts when he could, even at times when he was busy. No one can be able to answer the phone every minute of the day, but Andrew will try. He is very professional and very talented and yet very personal. I am so proud to leave a review for him because he has not just become my lawyer and go-to guy when I need help, but I will call him friend.
Mr. Flores took my call and worked with me through the holiday, including on Christmas Day. After answering my many questions over a couple of days, he provided a strong response to the complaint. We filed the complaint on time, and he completed the work at a very reasonable fee.
Even now, while we are still in litigation, the opposing party has made a settlement offer. If you need an affordable attorney who gets results, I highly recommend Andrew Flores.
