Following a recent DUI arrest, Mr. Shein assisted me through the complex legal process. He kept me informed and up-to-date throughout the process. He provided sound and practical advice based on the reality of the situation, and mitigated the situation to the extent possible. Mr. Shein managed my case very professionally.

The Law Offices of Andrew Shein was very helpful to me. I had some problems previously with traffic violations, and Andrew Shein made sure that I received a fair ruling from the court, while also making sure that I didn't lose my driving privileges.

On the date of my court appearance, we walked in the court room, sat down, waited for my name to be called, and were out in less than 5 minutes with all three citations DISMISSED! Andrew takes the
time to make sure you are comfortable and worry free during a rough and stressful time. He was just a phone call or e-mail away and treated my problems like they were his own. I would reccomend Andrew Shein to any of my family members or friends.

I was pulled over and charged with drinking and driving about a year ago.
I was fresh out of college and trying to start my life and career but I turned down the wrong street. I needed some legal assistance to help me understand what I was going through and to represent me. I was referred to Andrew Shein because he has built a strong, hard-working, reliable name in the legal world.
Andrew Shein was able to explain all of the legal terms and issues that were brought forth based on my arrest. He allowed me to live my life as normal and stress free as possible while he studied the case and talked with the prosecution. At the end of the day, my charges were reduced and more importantly I was able to move on in my life without anyone getting hurt. If anyone is in need of a lawyer I would definitely recommend Andrew Shein.
Thank you.
