About Us
A Word from Andy
After many years of practicing law, clients have come to me with a variety of problems—from criminal issues and personal injuries, to family conflicts and property damage or contractor fraud. Each client’s situation has caused heartache, pain and financial turmoil. Often, they have nowhere else to turn for help. Most do not know what their future holds and they find great relief in working with someone who knows how to navigate the legal process regarding all matters. That’s what I love most about my job: helping people. I’m always ready to stand up and fight aggressively. I resolve life-changing situations by focusing on what is best for each client’s circumstances and I work tirelessly to achieve the best solution possible.
In the past, I’ve sat on the client side feeling vulnerable and relying on the services of an attorney. I know how frustrating it is to meet with a lawyer who claims he or she can get the job done, only to end up being treated like a number. To me, my clients and cases really, truly matter. When you partner with my office, you will get one hundred percent of our effort and skill set.
I’m proud to be a lawyer who cares and who isn’t afraid to take on opposing council, no matter if it’s a big insurance company or an intimidating prosecutor. I work with an unwavering obligation to resolve your issues and return your life to normal. When you need an attorney – or if you just need someone who will listen — please call me and let me help you fight your battle.
Sincerely,
Felix Anthony “Andy” DeJean IV
