I am an attorney in WNC and was recommended to Andy by several fellow lawyers. Andy effectively and efficiently prepared complicated detailed estate planning documents for my husband and I. All documents were explained in detail. Andy never rushed through our conferences and we felt like he took as much time as needed to adequately explain our estate plan to us. I highly recommend Andy and plan to continue my assocaition with him.

Andy and his staff put us at ease on our first visit. We are a newly married lesbian couple tho we just celebrated our 30th anniversary. Our purpose for hiring Strauss and Associates was to make sure that the marriage status was considered in our estate planning We feel confident that our legal affairs are now in order, and that any new laws requiring our attention will be relayed to us by Strauss and Associates.

Re-doing my trust after moving here from out of state...I had lots of questions and Andy was always very forthcoming with good cheer! I particularly liked the way he brought in his support staff when we were reviewing and making changes so the changes were made "real time" and I could trust they were being made. Andy AND his staff have been great during this whole process...I highly recommend him.

Andy Strauss's firm motto is "We Do Estate Planning. We do it Well." That about encompasses it all! I have been involved in my own or my parents' estate planning with this firm and Andy in particular since 1998. His office is efficient, professional and friendly. His key staff have been around for years, which is very helpful as well as reassuring. Andy knows his area of expertise very well and is able to articulate this well to me. Due to the complexity and my unfamiliarity of estate planning and finance it, I often must have a repeat lesson on why we did something in the manner in which we did, and he is unfailingly patient and thorough in his explanations. This firm is simply great to work with and do an excellent job.

Andy helped us set up our estate plans after my mother past away. Without his and his team's help, I would have been completely overwhelmed at an already difficult time. Now I rest easy, confident in the knowledge that I have provided for my family and my own long-term stability.

Andy wrote my original trust in 2003. In the past 15 years he has rewritten and updated my trust every year. He has given me sound advise regarding my trust and affairs thru divorce and the death of my Father.

Andy has been extremely helpful to me and my family and he has given us a great deal of useful advice and support. I have recommended him to my friends.

I was fortunate indeed to find Mr. Strauss. He was not only professional and knowledgeable but showed caring, compassion and thoughtfulness on every level. He showed a great deal of understanding for my particular situation and he and his wonderful staff made me feel that I was his top priority and only client. If Mr. Srauss wanted to clarify an issue he did not hesitate to call in someone else. It gave me a great deal of confidence that not only his opinion and advice were always verified but that he was willing to take that extra step. He truly, truly had my best interest at heart not only for the present but for the future. After our business was completed another matter unrelated came up. I called the Strauss Firm for an appointment and to my amazement he took my call and put me in contact with someone who could best assist in my situation. I would absolutely recommend Mr. Strauss and his firm and say that you would indeed be fortunate to be associated with him. M. Wilson

I have worked with Andy for nearly a quarter century, so it is safe to say we have some history. It is difficult for a layman to evaluate a professional's expertise. After all, one hires professionals for access to expertise. But it is not difficult to evaluate a professional on many other levels. First and foremost, Andy is the best communicator I know. He makes sure he understands exactly what you are trying to do and in so doing, makes sure you yourself understand exactly what you are trying to do. He then expeditiously translates your plans and objectives into clear legal documentation. OK, possibly there is no such thing. But Andy explains what he has done so well and clearly that even the very inexperienced can follow along. Secondly, I can easily evaluate his responsiveness. Andy has responded to me within hours of my every inquiry, even on a Sunday evening. Finally, It is one thing to prepare legal documentation, such as Trusts, Wills and the like, but it is quite another to defend the work involved clearly and persuasively. Andy helped me respond to an IRS challenge in such a manner that the matter was dropped immediately, and believe me, the issues were complex. I could not ask for a finer attorney or a more responsive friend than Andy Strauss.

I recently worked with Andy Strauss on a trust matter and found him to be professional, direct, and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend him.
