I was hit by a drunk driver and Andje handled my case from start to finish! Throughout the process I was always kept informed and it was very apparent that Altair and Andje were genuinely working for my best interests during a stressful time.
We were looking for a lawyer who can handle our son injury case start to finish, someone professional and compassionate; Andje met all these criteria and more. We trusted Andje throughout the process. She is professional, courteous, transparent and very compassionate. We highly recommend Andje.
Andje took on my case and from start to finish did a superior job. I would highly recommend her for your case and would use her again. Thanks Andje job well done.
Andje Medina is an excellent attorney who advocates for her clients with fierce logic, extreme organization, and true empathy. She is on your side and will fight extremely hard on your behalf. Ms. Medina understands the challenges that many clients face in reliving life-changing, harmful experiences in pursuit of justice. She is clear and logical in her presentation of what is possible under the law, what is likely given specific circumstances, and what to expect in the legal setting. She maintains good working relationships across the field, which means that she handles correspondence with opposing counsel deftly. Ms. Medina's powerful combination of client-advocacy and commitment to success makes her a true advocate for her clients.
Andje helped me and my family through some trying times, where I was badly injured. She was willing to take the time to explain things to us, to represent us, and to connect with us as humans. There were several points as this case progressed where I thought we'd declare things as not ideal, but the best we could get. She pushed when she thought it was appropriate and I deeply appreciated that. I never once felt like we got services below what we expected, and often felt like we got services far beyond what we expected. I personally view law not as a means to leave the losing party destitute, but to get a fair settlement. Andje seemed to innately understand that. She was willing to go to court for us, and strongly represented us when we went into settlement instead. Anyone who may need her services will get an attorney who is experienced, caring, patient, and willing to go to bat for you. I hope not to ever need her services again, but would gladly use them if needed.
After learning that the cemetery had lost our father's cremains my sisters and I decided we needed to seek legal advise. I called the office, briefly explained our family's situation to the receptionist. Andje took my call and immediately agreed to assist my family. Within a couple of days I was at the office for our first meeting. Andje immediately began making contact with the cemetery and their representatives, shortly after our complaint was filed. Throughout the process Andje was caring, compassionate and treated us with the utmost respect. She was responsive to all of our questions and concerns, always taking into consideration the sensitive nature of our case. Cemetery mishaps is a specialized field, she is an experienced professional with the expertise and knowledge to get you the best resolution. If ever you find yourself needing assistance with a cemetery mishap or the need for a personal injury lawyer, we highly recommend Andje Medina.
Andje has a warm personality and was very pleasant to work with. At that same time, she wasn't a pushover. She was tough when needed and tenacious in pursuing our case, continuing where others might have given up.
Andje was helpful and superb friendly. She took over my 4 yrs old car injury case from my x-lawyer. Less than a year, my old case was settled with $275k settlement. Job well done by her professional works and efforts in ending this case in less than a yr.
