He REALLY knows what he is doing!
-Knows the law inside out (without(!!) having to look up things, review things, and do "research").
-Super honest, transparent, eloquent, and funny (when appropriate); great at explaining law in normal words, realistic about managing your expectations
-thinks several steps ahead; had Plan B, C, and D ready
-very creative and successful in negotiating with the other party
-respected by other attorneys; respects your time
-He quickly figured out which aspects were most important to me during the divorce and kept it in mind throughout the negotiation... I got everything I wanted and more. He knows when to push the other party to get you what you want but he also knows when to stop (there is a balance and he knows exactly where that sweet spot is).
-He is so knowledgeable and experienced that his work looks effortless but his attention to detail, efficiency, and expertise is obvious throughout. He lives and breathes law.
-The other party was jealous at how good my lawyer was that my now Ex would like my lawyer to be his lawyer in the future. Andrew was so excellent that I often felt bad for my now Ex because he had a much weaker attorney.
-Great availability and easy to get in touch with (which is rare to find these days). He has a smart and fast paralegal.
-There is nobody else like Andrew Chmelir. There is nothing to criticize. Nothing to improve. Even if my marriage settlement was lower I would give him the same raving review because he is THE PHENOMENAL and his work is superb!
