We are fortunate to serve such wonderful families every day!
Michael Connolly, Esq.
“I highly recommend Michael Connolly! He is an excellent attorney and a great person who represents clients who often cannot speak for themselves. We would use his services again if ever the need arises!” –E.Z.
“Mr. Connolly was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and efficient. We felt completely supported through the entire process and were very satisfied. We would absolutely recommend Mr. Connolly and McAndrews Law Offices to anyone in need of help with special education services for their child. Thank you — You saved our child’s future.” – N.G.
“I want to send a thank you note regarding both the diligent and persistent services that we had being represented by Mr. Connolly!!! We could not have gotten any better representation in this matter anywhere else. Please publicly acknowledge this. Thank you to Mr. Connolly from our family!” –M.M.
Lesley M. Mehalick, J.D., LL.M.
“Lesley, thank you so much for sharing your time and knowledge. I appreciate you considering my son’s situation, and for speaking and helping me. Your guidance has been a great relief and assistance!” –B.L.
“Lesley, thank you for being so understanding towards me, and for all that you have done in helping set up my Special Needs Trust. You have helped change my life for the better, and I will be forever grateful of that.” – A.S.
Heather Hulse, J.D., M.S., M.A.
“Heather Hulse is the most down-to-earth, wonderful, easy to talk to, and compassionate attorney I have ever met. It was such an emotional time for our family and not only did she validate my concerns, she also listened to me through my tears and helped our whole family threw a very difficult time. She is like a part of the family and we are grateful for all she has done for us. A definite two-thumbs up!” -T.S.
“Working with Heather was the best experience I’ve ever had. The team work at McAndrews Law Offices is unbelievable. My children are so pleased that they now get the best care possible in school – it makes me want to cry! Thank you so very much for helping me and my children to a better life!”– G.H.
Dennis C. McAndrews, Esq.
“Through Dennis McAndrews’ knowledge, professionalism, and compassion, he gave us what we needed most at that time–HOPE.Besides his legal expertise, he united our family again and gave us the confidence that things would work out. His instincts for our case proved effective in dealing with a very obstinate school district, and he not only implemented an agreement with our school district that they would pay 100% of our son’s schooling in the West, but he negotiated a settlement whereby the district also was forced to pay all of our family’s traveling expenses when visiting our son (more than 14 trips in all). Needless to say, we owe Dennis a huge debt of gratitude. We feel that he is in the top of his field in educational law. … A happy footnote to our case: Our son graduated summa cum laude from college and has been accepted for graduate study at the University of Chicago.” – Mr. and Mrs. B
“Dennis was instrumental in helping my daughter during a difficult time in her life and I am grateful to him for that. He had a better understanding of how to deal with a troubled pre-teen than many of the educators and psychologists in my local school district. I have highly recommended him to others looking for an educational attorney.” -Anonymous

Not having any real idea where to start with the settling of an estate makes things even worse! The team at McAndrews Law explained everything we needed to do and took care of many of the things that we couldn’t do ourselves. They took a difficult process and made it easy. My family and I are very grateful for Jennifer and for the great people at McAndrews Law for everything you have done!” –M.D.
“Jen Simmons and Anthony Marone were always a pleasure to work with. They were friendly, efficient and very knowledgeable individuals. They were always responsive to client needs and we were kept advised throughout the entire process. It was a wonderful experience working with Mr. Marone and Ms. Simons and we will highly recommend McAndrews Law Offices when opportunities arise.” –C.B.
