“Amazing Family Law Attorney!”
I would strongly recommend Mrs. Andrews for any family law issues. She was my attorney for over a year. In that time she was focused and diligent. Not once did any paperwork get rejected for clerical errors. Mrs. Andrews worked tirelessly and made it a point to conduct my case in the most cost-effective manner possible for me.- Chad -
“I feel blessed to have Ms. Andrews on my side, and I highly recommend her services!”
- CarlosAfter the initial shock of being served divorce papers, I began interviewing attorneys to help me with the legal proceedings. The first couple of attorneys focused on how to address the support and division of property issues included in the papers I was served, without really asking me about my interests in this matter.
After meeting with Ms. Andrews, and ever since that initial interview and consultation, I always felt she had my best interests in mind. She immediately explained what I needed to file and when what to expect going forward and then asked me about my interests. Wow! She was exactly the kind of attorney I was looking for to represent me.
She was always responsive to my questions and requests, no matter how basic, and got back to me in a timely manner… at times outside normal work hours. But, the biggest and most pleasant surprise to me was when she began educating and guiding me through every step in order to achieve my interests and goals -– mainly, my number one priority and “my everything” in this whole process: to retain shared custody and visitation rights with my children. Her guidance and recommendations put me at ease and really helped put my children first.
Her knowledge, honesty, and dedication through numerous and unexpected court hearings involving custody and visitation issues not only resulted in the resolution of such issues in a competent and efficient manner but a resolution that Ms. Andrews knew I wanted.
Not only is Ms. Andrews reliable, helpful and an overall amazing attorney, her office staff is also very courteous, professional and efficient in keeping me apprised of what was needed and the status of the case. Thank you so much, Ms. Andrews… and staff!!

“This Office is Great!”
I met with Brenda and Karen and both were very professional and gave excellent customer service. They were clear, concise and answered all of my questions. I came out of that office feeling like I was on the right footing and knew I had a powerful group behind me if I need it. I would recommend everybody!- James -
“Tiffany Gave Me a Voice!”
I hired Tiffany to help me in a custody dispute with my ex regarding my young son. During the entirety of my previous relationship and even after separation my ex had intimidated me and dominated any decision made regarding my son. He bullied me and used his financial advantage to make me feel that I didn't stand a chance against him when he filed to take majority custody of our son. I went into the custody dispute feeling weak but as a mother, I would go to any length, at any cost to fight for my son. Tiffany and her staff gave me so much confidence and ensured me that they would be my voice and help me fight for my rights as a mother and that is exactly what she did. Tiffany was extremely thorough, knowledgeable, compassionate, and honest. She did her job and she did it well. Tiffany was very aggressive while staying very professional in front of the judge. I walked out of the courtroom feeling empowered and protected. My family cannot ever thank her and her staff enough. I would recommend her to anyone that finds themselves in a family dispute. She will give you the justice you and your family deserve.- Cheyenne -
“Divorce & Separation Advice Session”
She was great, put my mind at ease. I had a few short questions, not enough to warrant a face-to-face with a lawyer at a high price and she took care of them. Precise, knowledgable and friendly too.- Previous Client -
“Very Professional and Devoted Attorney”
My case was very unique in the way I had a paralegal and 1 other attorney represent me prior to meeting Tiffany Andrews. In the entire 4 years, I have been dealing with divorce/custody I made more headway in a matter of months after hiring her to represent me. She was very caring and very professional. She made each court hearing a very calm controlled environment for me. She heard what I to say and made a world of difference in my life as well as my children.- Annette -
“Custody, Child Support, and Divorce case.”
I was very pleased with the free consultation that was provided to me by her. She really took the time to listen to all my concerns and provided me with some excellent feedback. Overall, I was very satisfied with the service she provided me with and look forward to having her fight my case. I recommend her services to everyone.- Previous Client -
“Family Called by CPS”
Was called by CPS for the first time. We were scared, didn't know what to do or say. Didn't have any idea how to handle an unfortunate situation like this. Just because of a false accusation, our lives changed! Called a friend and referred me to Tiffany who's an expert in this kind of situations. Tiffany was there to answer all our questions, gave us advice and cleared our minds. She explained the situation in a manner that we will understand and assured us that everything will be fine. Those were the words that we needed to hear. We followed her advice and Thank God everything went well. Thank you, Tiffany!- Previous Client
