Testimonials

Steven McGee

In October 2020 I hired Andrew Laufers as my legal representative in pursuit of full custody of my two children. As a father I had a negative view point of the family court system due to previous experience so my expectations were low. Andy took the time to get to know our family, communicated through every step of the process, and fought hard to protect my children. He was a breathe of fresh air for this reluctant father and always kept my children’s best interest as the focus. I highly recommend Andrew Laufers because his knowledge of the law, work ethic, and communication will make a tough situation manageable.
