I could not have asked for a better advocate than Mr. Andrew Lindsey of Price Benowitz. My charge was a serious traffic offense, one for which I would have had to wear the Scarlet Letter for a significant amount of time had my case gone sideways. The security of my current job, as well as prospects for finding gainful employment in the future, would've been dim. Lucky for me Mr. Lindsey was my counsel. You're immediately struck his confidence and ability to think quickly on his feet. Spend more time with him and you'll realize that he has a deep understanding of jurisprudence. This, combined with his intuitive understanding of the practical aspects of law, such as how the system works, and his familiarity with the court, make him a very effective attorney, one who is eminently qualified to bring about the best outcome for all his clients. Prior to my court appearance, Mr. Lindsey recommended that I complete 25 hours of community service and 12 hours of defensive driver training. As stated previously, Mr. Lindsey knows the court. He knows that this court is not draconian and gives much consideration to mitigation. Having community service and defensive driver training ready to present to the court as signs that you are willing to change your driving habits goes a long way. During my appearance, Mr. Lindsey conferred with the officer who wrote my citation. Mr. Lindsey asked if the officer would consider lesser charges in light of my perfect record. Doing something like this isn't as unusual as it sounds. I must've seen thirty cases go before mine. In many of them, the officer, of his own accord, would provide mitigation for the driver, such as mentioning to the judge that the driver has a perfect record, or that the last offense was decades ago. Based on this, the court gave the driver a lesser offense, often one that meant the difference between a criminal traffic offense and a simple moving violation. The officer in my case wouldn't budge, so Mr. Lindsey decided to go to trial. At best, we would prevail. At worst, the court will show mercy. After the officer gave his testimony, Mr. Lindsey quickly pointed out to the court that the citation did not match the driving offense. The court agreed and the case was dismissed. A lawyer's CV, his intelligence, his innate grasp of the theory of law, are very important parts of the profession. But if the lawyer is to be efficacious, he needs to be able to think quickly on his feet and have an intuitive understanding of the court and the system. These practical aspects can only be learned through experience. I've had a front row seat to the performance of Mr. Lindsey, and I can say that he has all these bases covered. While this may be another 'W' for Mr. Lindsey, it's a life changer for me. I am extremely thankful that my case was handled by such a competent professional.

Andrew Lindsey, Esq. is an exceptional attorney and miracle worker. He worked with me from December 2025 until August 2026, and managed to knock down a reckless driving to a speeding ticket. He was a great communicator and is very knowledgeable in the law. I would definitely have him represent me again.

Andrew Lindsey has represented me through the toughest case I have ever had in my life. By far, he has been the best defense attorney I have ever hired. Andrew was very knowledgeable on the circumstances of my case and confident on the case-law applicable to my case. If I were to hire any other lawyer like I had hired in the past. I would have most likely taken a plea deal. Convicting me of lesser crime at best. With Andrew Lindsey, my case was completely dismissed entirely. Being charged with a DWI was no easy task to get dismissed. Andrew knew exactly how to handle my case through a years long, drawn-out legal process. He answered all my questions when they arose. Andrew even allowed me to park at his office parking near the court house when I had court. Andrew also would explain to me what my options were forthrightly and gave soild advice on what I should do. Even after the first nolle prosequi, Andrew kept in touch with me on his work cellphone for when the prosecutors would be bringing back the charge. I was always mentally preparing for the worst-case scenario. Which caused a lot of anxiety. Hiring Andrew to represent me for both instances definitely calmed down my anxiety throughout the whole ordeal. I have hired other lawyers in the past who didn't really seem to care much or even do much. Especially since they never went to trial for me. Andrew Lindsey was truly the first defense attorney who ever went to trial for me. I have never been so impressed by any defense attorney like Andrew. Indubitably, by his readiness to go to trial at a moments notice when there was essentially no plea deal on the table during the trail date. He had multiple defense strategies ready. However, he didn't even need to present or argue them since his knowledge of case law essentially finished the trial hearing within a few minutes. Again, I was astounded with Andrew's trial defense. The prosecution wanted to nolle prosequi once more. Andrew made sure they didn't get the chance to reopen the case within the next few days. Since it still had not reached the statue of limitations. Andrew pushed to get it entirely dismissed. The judge agreed with Andrew. The prosecutors did not have good cause to nolle prosequi. The judge dismissed the case. What can I say? That was the absolute best result I could have prayed for. Andrew Lindsey has truly been a blessing in my life. Andrew is by far unquestionably the best defense lawyer I have ever hired. If I were to hire a defense attorney for any other instance, I would hire Andrew Lindsey 10/10 times. Words can't express how grateful I am to Andrew for the positive impact he's had on my life. Hopefully, he can do the same for you.
