In 2002 I was wrongfully convicted of 1st degree murder and sentenced to life without possibility of parole. I spent over 17 years behind bars. Andrew represented me on an out of time post-conviction relief application. He was able to get my conviction overturned and my life sentence vacated. I am a free man.
Mr Bevinetto represented my son in a recent felony gun charge. He was very knowledgeable of the law and dependable.. We were very pleased with the outcome. The fees were fair. I will gladly recommend him to family and friends. Thanks Again!!!
I want to share my experience of working with the law firm of Manasseh, Gill, Knipe, & Bélanger; and, specifically J. Andrew Bevinetto. • Prompt phone communication w/ law firm following my email explaining my unique situation. • Immediate communication w/ Andrew Bevinetto followed by face to face meeting. • Andrew was diligent in his research prior to our meeting; very knowledgeable of the applicable laws pertaining to my case. • Andrew was very welcoming yet professional; sympathetic yet straightforward; very thorough with details of my case and, time conscious throughout entire process. • Andrew was always “available” when I had questions. • Andrew contacted the appropriate government agencies to obtain information regarding my case; and, also, followed up with agencies as needed. He brought my case to a successful conclusion. I would absolutely refer Andrew Bevinetto to anyone that needs representation regardless of their circumstances. His knowledge of the law and his performance while representing me were exceptional. Karen
I've had a case then I've been dealing with for about a year. I've had multiple consultations and most wouldn't even take my case as one of the "Big Deals" in their profession. Although everyone said it was only a matter of paperwork and time, none of them seem to have the drive it would've taken. I stumbled upon this law firm and was appointed Andrew to represent me. My case seemed harder and harder every time but, as tough as it got.. Andrew got tougher! I honestly don't think I would have gotten the same judgment if this guy wasn't in my corner.. He's exceptional as well as a part of History. Not only in my life but, within the court's system also!! Thank God for good people such as he...
Mr. Bevinetto has been taking care of my case above and beyond what I ever expected. He has handled a case for a family member in the past, and we are in the process of handling mine. Andrew is a thoughtful, caring, and knowledgeable attorney. He has always presented himself in a professional manner and will make sure you are satisfied and have an understanding of everything that is going on. I highly recommend Mr. Bevinettoto to any one looking for a honest, hard-working attorney that will get the job done.
I was very pleased with Mr Bevinetto's representation he was very knowledgeable about my case and very knowledgeable of the law. He explained the whole process and made sure I understood. I am very happy he was standing on my side. I thank him so much. I would recommend him to anyone who needs his counsel.
I was facing the possibility of losing my job, professional lic., etc. I walked into Andrews office a nervous wreck. Thirty minutes later I left feeling that I had a chance. Andrew prepared a plan of action for my case. I followed all of his advice. Andrew was able to get my case dismissed on my day in court. I truly believe that without his advice and counsel that my out come would of been very different. Andrew was able to get me a second chance.
I got Andrew’s contact through one of my close friends. And boy I am so lucky I got him. Andrew jumped on board very quickly and truly empathized with the situation. He means business meaning not only does he know his work, but is also supremely personable. He is very detail oriented and aptly articulate. This was my first ever arrest and I was panicking. Andrews style of handling the case provided me comfort and peace of mind. He patiently listened to my situation and gave me some immediate advice. He then picked me to the court and made me feel comfortable along the way that “everything will be fine in no time”. Andrew has worked for the DA before and one of his greatest attributes is his relationship handling. On the day of the hearing, even before the judge walked in I was apprised that my case will most likely be dismissed because of Andrew’s expert situational awareness of the case. And guess what, not only was the case dismissed, all associated orders were dissolved, and the expungement of the case was initiated the same day. This probably could be the fastest ever case from being arrested to being expunged. I cannot thank Andrew enough for his dexterity in this matter . If you want the best then get Andrew!!
I met Mr. Bevinetto trying to find my way to court, I asked if he was a lawyer and said I would need one, without hesitation he gave me a card and walked with me to court sat down before it began and discussed my case. He knew how scared I was and he accompanied me to court THAT DAY and EVERYDAY after that!! He went to bat for me every time and fiercely I might add! He assured me always I had nothing to worry about and I didn’t! He won the case and I am a free woman because of him! I could never say enough great things about Mr. Bevinetto he is truly the best and you want him fighting for you, and fight he does!!!! Knowing I had him on my side put my mind ease.
I hired Mr. Bevinetto on a recommendation, Boy am I happy that I did!!! Without him I have no doubt that I would surely be in jail. He conducted himself EXACTLY how you want your lawyer too. I never once had to wonder what was happening in my case, he stayed in constant communication with me. He must know a lot of people in the legal field, including the court system. Not one time was I blindsided by the Judge or D.A., he let me know everything in advance. I can't say enough positive things about him. Me and my family will never use another attorney, he spoiled us. Thank you so much!!!
