Andrea Godwin represented me in an especially important custody case as it pertained directly to my child's personal safety. Opposing counsel was very stubborn, but Ms. Godwin was passionate and relentless, and she managed to achieve an outcome even better than I dared to hope for. I am so appreciative because, not only did I have an attorney with skill and knowledge, but I had one with heart. It's a different experience when you feel like your attorney truly cares rather than simply doing the job they were hired to do. She was a great source of emotional support as we navigated some legally convoluted waters. When all was said and done, I felt like she cared as much about keeping my child safe as I did, and that level of caring came through during the course of all the hard work she put in to help us achieve the best possible outcome. I absolutely would use her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a lawyer who can get the job done!

I retained this attorney and she was incompetent. She clearly does not understand law and should not be an attorney. I had to hire another attorney to handle my case and he said she is not respected in the law community or courts. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. She is all about the money and only wants to answer your emails or calls on the weekend when she can charge more. Her ethics are poor. She suggested some things that should not have come from an attorneys mouth.

Not trustworthy. She left the firm half way after retaining me. She shouldn’t have taken me if she knew she was leave the firm. I’m spending my money. Money doesn’t grow on trees. She takes up cases more than she can handle. Not prompt in her dealings and replies. Always late. She is ready to answer you on weekends coz she has higher rates on weekends. I do not recommend her her to anyone. Sorry, it’s my opinion. After spending my time, money and my emotions, I got nothing from her.
