I retained Andrew Irlbeck for two separate cases. The first case was a business matter, which he did such a good job with and gained my trust so completely that when I was charged with a DWI, I immediately called Andrew again. Unfortunately, this is not the first lawyer I have needed to hire to represent me in criminal matters. I have hired three different lawyers for three separate cases previously and Andrew is the best lawyer I have worked with. He always responds immediately when I have questions and it seems like he actually cares about my case. He has already taken care of issues that previous lawyers left for me to handle. I can not recommend Andrew enough.

After spending many months trying to find a competent lawyer to represent me in an extremely unethical and complicated case (spanning civil rights, criminal, family and domestic violence law), he took me on and I won the lawyer jackpot. I have never in my life felt so supported and held by such strength, eloquence and competency. Of course my case was immediately dismissed. Andrew is a dream to work with for all the above reasons. Additionally, he is funny, approachable, extremely nonjudgmental, wholeheartedly ethical. Not only does he reply immediately to emails, he even answers his phone (a pleasure I'd never experienced with previous lawyers)!!! Seeing him work in the courtroom was like watching a bull in a china shop, in a good way. The court staff, the prosecutor, the DA, everyone but the judge were squirming like naughty children, fumbling, their ineptitude and questionable ethics and protocol suddenly under question. The judge clearly derived much pleasure from this and from Andrews competency. He was like a breath of fresh air in the courtroom. Andrew was able to turn something that used to cause me debilitating anxiety and stress into something, dare i say, almost enjoyable!

He went above and beyond what I was expecting. He made everything very simple. I put my trust in him and let him handle everything. Made my life hassle free and went above and beyond. He got my charges dropped without even having to go in front of a judge.To this day I can still call him for free legal advice and he always answers my calls. You don't have to wait hours, days, or weeks for a response. Moving forward, if I ever need a lawyer again, he's my guy. I highly recommend his services and couldn't imagine a better attorney to have in my corner.

Andrew did an excellent job of speaking with the city attorney on my behalf in order to rehome my dog instead the city of putting my dog down. And he did it pro bono.
