Professional! Outstanding! My only regret was not having Ms.Ciobanu represent me from the beginning. Absolutely would recommend her ! Her compassion and dedication to my case was above and beyond my expectations!

I am grateful for Andrea's representation and the attention she gave to my case. She is a pro with a beautiful heart and a great team. If I need a lawyer again, I will get in touch with her. I absolutely recommend her.

Very helpful so far. Great advice, very informative, very easy to talk to. Straight to the point & tells it how it is, wont sugar coat or beat around the bush which is rare in my experience. Best, hands down

I can attest to the fact that Andrea is an experienced attorney that fights for her clients. I consulted Ciobanu Law for a housing matter several years ago and their level-headed advice helped me to resolve my issue amicably. I was really impressed that Andrea's team was able to provide information that helped me not to overreact to my situation. Later, I consulted Ciobanu Law for an auto accident and was simply thrilled with the result. Ciobanu Law truly cares about their clients and their concern goes far beyond billing hours and making court appearances. Andrea and her team work hard to defend their clients' interests, even if it means referring them to another attorney that may better serve their needs. I was always impressed by their tireless efforts, all while working diligently to keep costs low for their clients. How can I be so confident of this? I had the unique privilege of observing them from the perspective of both a client and an employee. As a former legal assistant with Ciobanu Law, for two years I observed firsthand the care and attention they show each of their clients. In a profession where honesty and fairness are often pushed aside, Ciobanu Law stands above the rest! They will always be my first choice for any legal concerns. To Andrea and her team: Keep up the stellar work!

Wow, I don't even know where to begin!!! Andrea Ciobanu worked on my custody case for approximately 9 months, she was always helpful, attentive, respectful and exceptionally professional. She even answered my emails late in the evening ON weekends.She truly cares about her clients and their well-being. She pays close attention to details and she was always honest with me. She advised me throughout the whole process and got me EXACTLY what I wanted despite my unusual circumstances (not good ones at the time). If you want someone to fight for you like a world class lawyer, and advise you like a close friend look no further than Andrea. You will feel at ease and comfortable from the very first moment you consult with her. I read this review as I was writing it and it really doesn't do her justice. I am at a loss of words to describe my exceptional positive experience while being represented by her. Andrea, thank you ever so much from the bottom of my heart for everything you did for me, you literally gave me my life back and I'll forever be grateful.

I hired Ciobanu law firm in two cases and Andrea's team provided the best services in terms of clarity, honesty and dedication. My last case which was a car accident involved multiple dependents including out of state and her team showed the highest level of responsibility and I am so grateful with the results.

Andrea Ciobanu is one of the kindest people I have come to know. Beyond being an exceptional lawyer, she really cared about my well-being. She was, as expected, extremely intelligent and professional, but to my pleasant surprise, very approachable, supportive and reassuring throughout my stressful situation. Andrea did an excellent job managing my case and achieving the best possible outcome. Then she encouraged me to look to the future, saying she would be there for me when it was time to take further action. In the meantime, I've emailed her on two different occasions with questions relating to my original case. Both times, she was quick to respond, offering ample advice, and waived the fees because I was a returning client. In addition, my experience with her staff was very positive. They were prompt, professional and helpful. I highly recommend Ciobanu Law.

It was a great experience. Andrea made sure my case was a priority and administered a quality service. I felt comfident during consultations and believe she had my best interest at heart. She is not a lawyer who is just about the money she truly cares about her clients. I would recommend Andrea to anyone who wants an attorney who has a heart for helping people.

Andrea has went miles above in assisting the many special needs of my case. My situation had many moving parts, and she handled everything extremely expediently, and proactively. She was hired in 1/3 the way through, from my process of a mid-flight lawyer change. Her ENTIRE office caught on and immediately caught up to speed on my transfer. She personally picked up the pace in view of my many time constraints. Thank you Ciobanu Team for getting me through all my many, many challenges successfully. Each one of you is awesome at what you do. Thank you all.

Andrea did an amazing job representing my case. She answered all my questions even late at night on the weekend. She understood how important this was to our family and took the time and put in extra effort throughout the entire process. I would recommend her to anyone who wants a great attorney who truly cares about her clients and wants to win her cases too.
