Andrea Durgin Pawliczek, Esq.

"Andrea was absolutely fantastic. She’s not just a top-notch lawyer but also genuinely caring. She made the whole process feel less stressful and really looked after my feelings. Thanks to her, I got a settlement that I’m really happy with, and it’s helping me get back with my daughter. You can tell Andrea really puts families first, and it shows in everything she does. She’s been amazing every step of the way."

"From my first meet you can tell Andrea has vast experience and knows what she is talking about. Also was very responsive to helping me in times that required a an immediate response. I am grateful for her services and would go to her again in the future."

"Andrea provided a positive experience that gave me the trust and comfort I needed during a very complicated journey that had a time span of over 12 years. She was supportive and transparent from the moment that I first sat down with her to discuss the representation that I needed. I talked to multiple lawyers and her approach during that visit was the winning factor in why I hired her to represent me. She is a great listener, gave clear and concise legal guidance and very empathetic. I learned a lot from Andrea over the years - the most important lesson was to trust the process. She was flexible and made sure she found time for me and my case. She made sure I understood what to expect at each phase of the process and that I was well-prepared. After many years of working with her - I highly recommended Andrea and have sent more clients her way and they, too, have been equally as satisfied with her services."

"Very rude and crude. I called to inquire about retaining her for a cusody case. When I told her that I didn't think it was going to work out she told me that I probably couldn't afford her rates anyway and hung up on me. She sounded sluggish on the phone, interrupted and her questions seemed very disjointed."

"Stay away from this lawyer!!!. For all those names people have for lawyers, she is every one of them. She is a one person firm so no matter what you ask her to do, she charges a lawyers rate of $350/hr. When you go to other firms that have admins, paralegals and lawyers, they charge you based on WHO does this work. Not this one! I gave her a retainer for a simple divorce and she blew through it in no time and then demanded more money! A simple no-contest divorce! Divorce took 5 years!! She never returns phone calls, have to track her down to do anything and, she charges you for reading emails you send to her! Go to her website and look at the reviews....she made them all up herself! Think about the reviews there....been in practice for 28 years and all of her reviews are from 2018 AND they all say they love her but do not describe what she did?? Really? She must think people are idiots. Was never prepared for any meetings we had and did I mention she never answers her phone or call you back! She is slow, unprofessional and a absolute mess. She also made up scenarios to try and make it difficult for the divorce to go through. Through my ex's attorney I found out that she is not respected at all with the Orange County Bar because of the way she does business. Very unfortunate and costly. Again....STAY AWAY!"
