I trusted Andy and his team from the moment I retained their services. Andy’s knowledge of the law and his ability to relay his analysis is one of a kind. His constant encouragement and support as a legal counselor confirms that he is and will continue to be my fierce and zealous advocate! Andy and his team are always available whether it is in the evening or weekend. His paralegal, Courtney, is amazing and goes out of her way to check in on me. I cannot imagine anyone else to lead the way and be with me during my trying legal times.

Andy Fitzgerald is an old-school attorney in the most honorable sense of the word. He is brilliant, intense, focused, and methodically thought through the subtle nuances of my case. His heart was in the right place, and he truly cared that wrongs were righted and justice served. He called things as he saw them - even when it was uncomfortable - and was always my best advocate. Andy was referred to me by another attorney who had previously opposed him in court. I consider that the highest compliment. Andy will forever be my trusted counselor, and I could not recommend him more highly.

Andy is a passionate and very intelligent litigator. He gave our case 100% of his focus and we couldn't have been happier with his work. In the courtroom, he really connected with the jury and was able to help them understand complex legal matters in lay terms. He knows how to get to the heart of the matter, knows the law, and thinks amazingly fast on his feet in the court room. I recommend him without hesitation.

Andy was honest and upfront with my wife and me from the beginning. He listened to us as we struggled with stressful family issues and answered our questions patiently. He very accurately assessed the legal landscape and helped guide us toward an optimal solution.

We engaged Andy after working with another attorney for the better part of a year on a case that was lingering with no real merit. After tens of thousands of dollars and no forward movement with our first attorney, we hired Andy and reached the ideal settlement without going to trial within a few short months. Andy was extremely responsive, efficient with his time and our money, and appropriately aggressive when necessary. I only wish we had started our case with Andy rather than wasting a year on the first attorney.

I paid $225 for a one-hour consultation with Mr. Fitzgerald about a breach of contract case, involving other issues, against a major corporation. The breach centered on a false accusation made by the corporation. I noted that it was a complicated case before meeting. The good: Mr. Fitzgerald agreed to see me on short notice. I was able to present documents to him and respond to his questions. We discussed in detail the accusation, which I vehemently denied. The bad: Mr. Fitzgerald told me that not only would he not take my case, but that “no reputable lawyer” would take my case. He said I had no chance of winning. He advised me to seek psychotherapy. I found his comments inappropriate. I continued my search and retained a highly reputable law firm. Based on their observations, I expect to win my lawsuit. The ugly: I emailed Mr. Fitzgerald to ask for a refund of $225. I requested the refund because I felt that he had acted in a highly unprofessional manner. For instance, his prediction about my inability to find a reputable lawyer and his recommendation that I enter into therapy seemed out-of-bounds for an attorney (I note that one of these statements has already proven false). The written reply I received from him to my refund request followed the same pattern of unprofessional behavior. He claimed, in writing, that I had admitted the accusations which the corporation had made against me. He repeated that I should go into psychotherapy: “I will admit fully that I had concerns about your relationship to reality.” The lawyer’s one-and-a-half page written reply contains other inappropriate and puzzling statements. He refused a refund. To summarize, this was an initial consultation with a lawyer whom I did not hire, but with whom I had continued contact, via email, due to my requesting a refund of the consultation fee. The lawyer’s behavior during our meeting, as well as his written response to my request for a refund, were extremely unprofessional. I am glad that I did not hire him and want to spare others that possible fate.
