Andrea’s legal knowledge and expertise made my divorce case less stressful. She knew the legal system and is very capable to go toe to toe with any attorney. I will use her for all of my law needs!
Andrea is by far the best personable lawyer. I have hired other lawyers and felt no connection, which was starting to harm my case. What set her apart from others, was her natural approach which allowed a connection on so many levels. A divorce can be mentally draining, however Andrea made sure to put my best interest ahead of the game thus reducing some of those extremely stressful moments. She is smart, tactful and honest. I have and will continue to recommend her without any hesitation.

I would recommend her to anyone going through a divorce and needing sound counsel regarding the process and issues surrounding child custody and child support. She represented me well and responded to my concerns in what was already a difficult process.
During a divorce, emotions can be high and what is bad can go worse quickly. Andrea was calm and solution orientated, friendly and helpful. I absolutely recommend her!
My lawyer listened to what I had to say. Did what I asked of her. Answered any questions I had, just was there for me
Andrea provided me excellent representation through a difficult period in my life. She defended me extremely well through the lies and vicious attacks from the moral-less opposing counsel. I will never forget the professional and genuine personnel support she gave me throughout the process. I would and have recommended her to others who needed of legal representation.
I did hired Attorney Andrea Lum to represent me during my difficult divorce. She was informative with the laws to help me with a case that my previous attorney lacked. She was definite not a procrastinator or looking to increase my bill. She kept me informed with emails and calls to let me know of our progress and strategy.I was blessed with that since my previous attorney may have not returned my calls for 1-2 weeks.It is difficult enough going through a divorce than to have no confidence in one's attorney.
