Hired him to defend our rights. He guided us meticulously through a stressful matter. He is so professional and quick to respond but makes you feel like you are his only client. His front desk staff is professional, private, and helpful.

Andrew is a great attorney! His team were professional, attentive, and informative and did everything in their power to take care of my case. Before we started they had pulled up everything they needed for me. The consultation was transparent and direct. I felt confident throughout the whole process and wasn't ever wondering what would happen next. With his expertise and proactive work, my case was dismissed by the DA. I'm not sure I would have the same result with anyone else.

You can't ask for a better defense attorney than Andrew Coit. His fierce and unrelenting defense of me made me grateful to have him in my corner. I was up against three bitter neighbors that tried to get stalking and restraining orders against me. His thorough and intelligent evaluation of the evidence led to blistering questions for the plaintiffs, both during depositions and on the witness stand. Andrew had all three of these guys stammering and twisted up in their own lies by the time he was finished with them! The lies Andrew caught them in during depositions were key to my defense in court. After hearing Andrew's strong and intelligent defense, the judge had no choice but to side with us and dismiss ALL THREE orders- one restraining order and two stalking orders! If you're looking for an experienced professional who will fight relentlessly for you, who's as tough as he is honest, then Andrew Coit is the attorney for you! I would recommend him to anyone. Thanks Andrew!

Andrew is a great defense attorney! He answered our questions and explained every legal term when we didn't understand. He will make time to meet with you and the client regularly. He goes over everything about the case, so you understand the situation and how we should proceed. Our case was difficult and he definitely made sure that we got the best outcome! Overall he is an excellent attorney! If you're in a difficult situation and in need of great defense attorneys I would recommend Andrew Coit and Chelsea Payment they are amazing and make a great team! I'm so grateful for the both of them!

Andrew Coit is a very professional, no nonsense attorney. He is zealous advocate for his clients rights and is extremely knowledgeable about both state and federal laws. He will not waste any of your time; giving you a very will educated opinion on the best way of handling your case. With decades of experience this is an opinion that you can trust during the time when you may not be able to think very well for yourself. I would highly recommend Andrew to anyone facing any sort of criminal case.

Andrew and I prevailed multiple times against what are considered the top Attorney's/ Law Firms in Eugene. My situation was complex and Andrew put/kept me on the simplest path to achieve my objectives. My Family Law case involved the potential out-of-state (or) International relocation of my children. Andrew assisted me in improving my overall parenting time AND custody situation. No wasted time, no extraneous or frivolous meet-ups. I was given straight advice, based on the wealth of his prior experience. Andrew is an outstanding communicator with an excellent support staff. I followed his guidance and advice to my total satisfaction.

I hired Andrew after I got my 2nd DUII and felony attempt to elude. Thanks to him, the DA completely dropped the attempt to elude and I got the minimum sentence on my DUII.

I had a very complicated divorce and child custody case that spanned two states. Mr. Coit was competent and right to the point. By the time we hired him we had already had two other lawyers in two states and were exhausted. He took the bull by the horns and got the job done. He worked with our other attorneys professional and promptly. It was great to be able to work through email and telephone. He always made time for me. Highly recommended!
