Andrew's worst problem is his ego. He doesn't like questions, client involvement, or any form of disagreement. Clients are expected to willfully submit to his "superior knowledge". Full disclosure, I am a hands on client. I read every document, conducted my own research, and questioned the strategy for my case. Andrew did not like questioning. He viewed this as a challenge to his authority and would easily become agitated. My divorce was particularly "ugly." Andrew is not the attorney to hire for complicated cases. I think he could adequately quarterback a routine/uncontested divorce but he struggles with complex cases. Specifically, Andrew was wrong at every major juncture in my case. He would make calls on how a judge would rule, what compromises were likely agreeable, or how the opposing party would respond to court motions. I'm not exaggerating; every call he made was wrong. He was out-smarted and didn't have the knowledge or experience to handle a hard case. This hurt me financially and emotionally. I made a terrible mistake hiring Andrew. The worst part was that I had to fight the other party as well as my own attorney. He was not on my side. Too often, his ego would take over, especially when I questioned why he was out-smarted. You only get one shot. Get it right. Do not put your life in Andrew's hands if things are complicated.

I interviewed several lawyers before choosing Andrew as my divorce attorney. He is straightforward and precise pertaining to your rights as a spouse. He advocated on my behalf to get me the best and fairest settlement so I could begin my life again. I found his website very helpful in answering many questions, and I would highly recommend him.

Andrew was referred to me by a friend and I could not have been more pleased. Even thought he was located 40 miles away from my hometown, he always made it simple for us to meet. Meetings were always short, too the point and costs were always kept to a minimum. In the end, I was very happy with the agreement he reached for me and would highly recommend him to anyone in the future! Thank You Andrew!

I hired Andrew Bestafka for a problem with my ex-spouse not paying for our kids' shared college expenses. He handled the case very well, and I won! He has great communication skills and is very responsive.

Andrew basically helped me take a very bleak situation and turned into a positive, fair result and I'm very pleased with my decision to retain him. My case was very complicated, with many variables, yet he handled them all, at an expert level. I had gone through (2) two previous lawyers, who basically failed me at every turn. They will remain nameless, but I assure you that they left Andrew with a difficult task. I can also tell you firsthand, that the NJ justice system, as it pertains to divorce, is daunting at best. If you're like me, getting through life in business, financial obligations, sporadic intervals of sadness/depression, not to mention caring for the children and juggling/spinning 20 plates at once, you will need a competent lawyer through this time. The whole process is overwhelming and I thought the case would never end. Andrew spent time understanding each situation, honing in on what's truly important, while leaving/placing the emotion (although, empathizing with it) to the side. He got me results! Favorable results! Undoing the previous mess left by the other attorney's. He handled the case with professionalism. Every time I called or emailed me, on each occasion, he got back to me right away and made me feel like his only client. I would recommend him to anyone who is going through a divorce, complicated or not...The best.

From the beginning to the end of my case Andrew was a true professional. Upon meeting Andrew and his staff I immediately felt comfortable in their presence and felt we were on the same page with my matters. Andrew’s openness and forward thinking on my case made the entire process uneventful (A very good thing to have while being extremely busy) and with little interruptions along the way. I have recommended Andrew and his staff’s professional expertise to colleagues, family, and friends. He has a knack for making you feel comfortable, assured, and most importantly--to hold a firm client/lawyer trust relationship. As a client you will appreciate his respect for timeliness, and accomplishing tasks with quick resolve. Once again, I am grateful for Andrew’s expertise, timeliness, and easy going attitude. I recommend his services with the upmost regard. Sincerely, J. Longoria, MBA
