Andrew was super responsive and helped us with a frivolous lawsuit threat online. He didn't even charge us because he felt so strongly against these scammers preying on whoever will believe them. He wrote them a threatening letter and I haven't heard from them since. If I ever need a litigation lawyer again, I will be sure to contact Andrew. read more

I highly recommend Mr. Waters. He is an excellent lawyer in multiple areas of the law. He provided great service and resolved my case

WARNING: Andrew is under an active malpractice lawsuit case# 25CV458058 in the santa clara county court. Here is why I filed a malpractice against andrew (2/6/25): while andrew in my opinion is a great salesman to intake the case, he screwed up my family and then civil case. In family, although I had photos and videos of other party's violence against myself and my kid, and proved her domestic violence in the trial, I lost my house, car, and everything. i honesly see andrew really incompetent. The judged ruled without jurisdiction on my property and andrew did not speak up one word to at least oppose the judge from ruling out of jurisdiction. i paid ~$70k to andrew in ~7months only for family case. He charged me thousands and thousands of dollar only for a "contempt case" which was immediately dismissed by the judge. I believe Andrew either has no experience what is taken by judges, or he is aware but just charged me to do whatever as long as it yields him money. Andrew - at the same time - had my civil case, hoping to recover my assets in civil court since we were not married. His sales pitch to take my case was "this is an offense case, than a defense case". My other party had committed several counts of fraud and breached a contract that was signed by a judge. After over 2yrs, I kept receiving interim orders from the judge and kept losing my case with notes from the judge such as "the attorney failed to..." , "the defense is empty of merit.." , "the attorney repeatedly failed to..." , "the defense is not specific...", "the responses are conclusive..." [refer to case #25CV458058 for exact phrases from the judge]. He even made up false stories and added them to my case without even telling me. He did not keep me informed of developments in my case. At some point, I saw there are several changes and active actions on my case, I wrote to andrew and asked if there are any recent changes, and his answer was negative! I believe He had no idea where my case was. Most of my valid claims are dismissed with the judge's comment "the attorney failed to...". If i was warned by similar malpractice case [case #25CV458058] i would have saved myself immediately. In my opinion Andrew is such illiterate on law, that he even does not trust himself to represent himself in his own malpractice case. He wrote to my lawyer that he will have an attorney!! doesn't he trust himself on law practices even for himself? My statements in this review are all my honest opinion. read more

Andrew Watters is an exceptional attorney. We were able to get the objective we desired through his and his firm's work. I had the fortune of working with Lindsey and Susanna also from his firm and they were all as outstanding as he was. I can't thank them enough! They helped our family immeasurably during a stressful period. They have clarity, great judgment, fair-mindedness and empathy. It is a great value for what you get. We will be returning to them in the future if we are need legal counsel or representation due to the professionalism and high quality. read more

It was difficult to find a lawyer for our very complicated case (property division after a divorce, including undue influence). Andrew gave us a call back and made time to meet on the same day. We presented all the information (a lot) and evidence (not much) during a free 30 min intro meeting. He accepted our case, which typically means 1) he has a potentially winning strategy in mind, and 2) he believes he can work with us (organized paperwork, reasonable discussions, funds). On the other hand, he never overpromised. Andrew was well-prepared for the trial and cornered the opposing party with embarrassing questions. If not for the Judge being slightly too gracious, naïve or inexperienced with regards to basic psychological traits of deceptive personalities, we could have won more. Still, we are happy. It was a very difficult time and Andrew was never panicky before, during, or after the trial. Also, it is noteworthy that some unused funds were returned from the retainers that were paid to Andrew's office, something that is not as common as you would think. His hourly rate is rather on the higher end of the spectrum (after reviewing about 10 lawyers in the area) but his office offers promos if you can commit quickly, which saved us a lot of money. I can now say it was a worthy investment. We won the case with a 10x return roughly. It could have been higher, but we hired him so late in the game that discovery could not be reopened to get critical pieces of evidence for our case. The judge kept denying all of our motions. We went to trial blindsided. And I think this is where Andrew excelled. For all these reasons, we'd recommend giving his office a call if you have a complicated case that pertains to family law, real estate, and unusual psychological profiles. read more

Andrew Watters is an incredible attorney. I called around to a few law firms and couldn't find anyone I got a good vibe from. Until I met Andrew Watters. I can tell he runs a well oiled machine from the way I was treated by his entire staff. After I contacted his office I received an immediate online response. Due to covid, I was able to get the ball rolling by completing an online intake with his paralegal. She was lovely and very professional. She notified me that Andrew Watters specialized in the matter of which I needed counsel. My information was passed along and made top priority by Andrew Watters. Less than an hour after connecting with his paralegal I received a direct response from Andrew Watters. He made time to speak with me over the phone an hour after that. When we spoke, Andrew Watters instantly amazed me with his efficiency and expertise. He was kind and articulate. Real smart guy. Plus, he gave me a free thirty minute consultation. He pulled up all the case information within a few minutes and discussed strategy. He was direct and didn't waste time. He completely resolved the complaint within a few days. I'm very pleased and impressed by his diligence. I cannot say enough stellar things about Andrew Watters, Esq. He is a superb attorney with immense integrity. Would highly recommend him for legal counsel. read more

Andrew was a great and intelligent attorney during the whole process with my legal matter. He provided me insight and guidance on how to move forward with it to resolve in a timely manner while providing me peace of mind so I wouldn't be consumed with stress during the process. Furthermore, Andrew was very patient and communicated with me at all times. He is an individual that WILL return your calls in a timely fashion, and he won't brush you by using, "I'm swamped" piss poor excuse. In summary, I'm so blessed to have found Andrew. He gave me a good experience during my time working with him. If you're looking for someone who is professional, understanding, and willing to work their butt off for you - look no further. You got your man right here! read more

I sought Andrew's help at the eleventh hour largely because of the reviews i'd seen on Yelp, and i'm glad to report that what you see here is accurate! Though my case was not very complex or serious, it had a 2 week deadline and I wasn't entirely sure how to go about understanding it in the first place given the complexity of CA law in general. I was pleasantly surprised to know that Andrew accepted my case at all, and on top of that he'd demonstrated great professionalism with prompt responses, diligent check ins, and patience in explaining things I wasn't clear on. I'm no dummy, but i certainly felt I asked some dumb questions at time but at no point did Andrew treat those questions as such. My situation also required the help of another attorney to review, and though this would have thrown my entire case out of whack given the tight deadline, he pulled in some favors to get this resolved immediately. If you need an attorney for something, I'd highly suggest getting Andrew's help because as others have mentioned, he does not waste time and really gets things done. Had my circumstances been more serious, I'd trust him to be a strong advocate and perform all the due diligence necessary. I'd never expect to walk away from an experience with the law feeling good, so to have that after working with Andrew should give you some assurances! read more

I hired Andrew to help with my family law issues. I am so glad that I did, as I found him to be incredibly intelligent and knowledgeable. When someone is going through a challenging time on this front, it's hard to process all of the angles and eventualities - as the distress clouds your thinking, of course - but I'm pleased that Andrew was always there, including noting the various scenarios and options by drawing on his extensive experience. It is invaluable to have a lawyer helping you with the analytical acumen of Andrew. Highly recommend him! read more

Andrew is a great attorney and proved tremendously helpful in the legal matter we brought to him. Our issue wasn't easily categorized into an area of law but, when we reached to out to Andrew he didn't hesitate to help us. He is easy to get in contact with, quick to respond and provides terrific insight to the problem at hand. He helps keep you on track with resolving the issue efficiently and to your satisfaction as best as possible. We will not hesitate to work with Andrew again and would recommend him unreservedly. read more

I needed some legal consultation, after contacting many professionals Andrew Watters was the most helpful. Many others just brushed me off and said it wasn't their focus and they couldn't help. Although my complaint was a bit complicated and it wasn't a speciality of Andrew's he still took his time and broke down the information for me and tried his best to seek the solutions to my problems. Andrew didn't waste anytime and was very thorough, he responded to me on the same day, I wouldn't have been able to solve my problems without his help. If you need help with legal issues Andrew is the one to contact. read more

I had a wonderful experience working with Andrew on a recent legal matter. I called a number of law offices but eventually found Andrew to be the most knowledgable, ethical and professional with a genuine care for his clients. After deciding to retain him, he continued with the same level of care to provide a stellar service with timely responses and helping me with the range of knowledge and expertise he brought to the case. I highly recommend him for legal counsel. He has knowledge and expertise, timely responsiveness and great deal of integrity. Thank you Andrew! read more

Andrew was knowledgeable and to the point, thank you. We appreciate your expertise and advice very much. If all lawyers were ethical like Andrew, our world would be much better. Thank you again, Andrew! read more

I recently hired Andrew as a consultant on a technology project I am working on. I told him that my budget for the tech development part of the project was $2000. Within two days, he found me a solution for $100. In addition to saving me thousands of dollars, working with Andrew has been an enjoyable experience. He is responsive, very professional, and great at putting complicated technological concepts into layman's terms. I look forward to continuing to work with Andrew and the Rællic Systems team on my current project and on any future projects. Five stars. Highly recommend. read more

Mr. Watters offered me sound and free advice which I happily took. He was very quick to respond and very professional. Two thumbs up!

Andy was a huge help in setting up my LLC! He was very informative and made sure I understood every option in terms of the different ways it could be incorporated. He was also able to help me creat the required articles of incorporation. After everything was done and filed, he went above and beyond by checking in to make sure it was all going well and as planned! I would definitely turn to him for further legal assistance, should I ever need it. read more

Mr. Watters is the most client-dedicated attorney that I know. Mr. Watters will work extremely hard to ensure the best possible result. Mr. Watters is the best attorney for the money. I unequivocally recommend him. He is everything you need and want in an attorney: brilliant, dedicated, determined, thorough, pro-active, detail-oriented, efficient, informative, available, responsive, perceptive, assuring, patient, helpful, supportive, etc. During the consultation and throughout the process, he alleviated my stress level by being a calming communicator and consummate professional. I didn't think it would be possible to make me feel that safe, positive, and righteous about my case. Mr. Watters rates are absolutely fair and completely transparent. He cares about you and your case, and is respectful and aware that your case may be the most stressful and daunting experience of your life. He is what all attorneys should strive to be. And I am thankful that he handled my case. read more

Great Attorney. Knowledgeable, Intelligent and Responsive. Highly Recommended! Andrew G. Watters and his team have been wonderful to work with, in the last several years on multiple cases. I cannot thank Andrew enough for his help and high performance! Why do we hire attorneys and law firms? To guide us on legal issues or disputes, help and facilitate to resolve them, take headaches away, protect our interest, someone who cares to think what's best for us, the client. With Andrew, all that comes with engagement. The best feeling we got all these years working with him every time, trust with a sense of relief as soon as the case gets to his desk. He is professional, very knowledgeable, intelligent, quick to grasp, fast thinker, efficient and super responsive. His personal attention to all details and personable style is amazing. I have successfully worked with him on several matters, financial recovery, fraud, false complaints, corporate, technology, transactions etc. He explains the issues, the legal scenario, pros, and cons very well to help the client make informed choices and decisions which get great results in the end. I love his No-nonsense, straight to the point dedicated approach and clearly spelling out the merits of the case. Overall, it was a pleasant experience! I definitely would recommend him to other prospective clients. read more

Andrew has represented me for three years, and my case has recently concluded on satisfactory terms, which would not have been possible without his help. He is flexible on both his schedule and his client's communication style and preferences. He is not only very knowledgeable but also does excellent research when needed and provides clear answers. He is very prompt in replying my emails and returning my calls, and gives useful, actionable answers to my questions. My case is somewhat unusual and I appreciate that he didn't handle my case with a cookie cutter like a certain lawyer I hired in the past... I hope I'll never be in a situation again where I need a lawyer, but if I do I'll definitely want Andrew by my side! read more

Andrew has helped me with a handful of legal matters, and I really appreciate how efficient and professional he is. He is very responsive and will provide you with great service. I plan to contact him again in the future as needed. read more

I have had a few experiences with attorneys in the past and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with Mr Watters service. I have been helping my fiancee with her divorce and we needed a private judge. I reached out through Yelp and Mr Watters responded immediately. He asked questions about our situation and what we were looking for. I found him proficient, knowledgeable, and friendly. He gave approximate timelines and a very competitive price and a reasonable expectation with the work he expected to put into it and what situations might cost more.  After we sent him all of the documentation he needed, he reviewed it quickly and made his requests for corrections. Throughout the question and answer period, documentation review, communications, and final filing; Mr Watters displayed outstanding customer service. This is where Mr Watters diverges from other attorneys. Other attorneys often seemed annoyed or downright condescending. Billing with other attorneys was shocking until I got used to exorbitant fees. With other attorneys, response times to emails and texts was measured in days. With Mr Watters, he'd usually respond within a few hours, and the latest maybe the next day. His billing is transparent, predictable, and fair. He got our situation handled.  I'll definitely be using him for future legal concerns. read more

I have several past lawsuits and interacted with about a dozen of attorneys. I would rate Andrew Watters last on my list. He and his associate are not litigation attorneys. They would backdown from litigating and take the easy way out by harassing their client. Don't be fooled by what they promised at consultation. They don't have the know how or could not follow through. For instance: Andrew said he would be able to recover attorney and court fees for my case. However when the meditation judge asked what provision would allow your client to recover attorney fee they have no answer for it so they dropped pursuing attorney fee against the defendant. When I didn't want to sign the settlement and told Andrew and his associate to proceed to open court, this is what Andrew emailed me: "I am sorry to inform you that, unless you sign this settlement agreement promptly, we will be unable to continue and will have to withdraw from representation." I have more stress coming from Andrew's bullying tactics than the defendant. I later found out there was another case at the courthouse and the party (my neighbor) in a similar situation won against the "same" defendant in my case on a jury trial with substantial monetary awards in addition the hardwood floor stays. Don't be fooled by their lower attorney rate (about 20% lower than most). They make up the lower rate by charging more hours (a lot more). You would end-up paying more. They charged a lot for producing standard law documents (ie discovery) which in other law firms are done by paralegals whom are more skillful in putting together documents and are 50% or more cheaper. Another attorney I hired charges about 10 to 15 minutes including consultation to write a page-length letter with excellent litigation content. Andrew and his associate charged about 1 hour for the same length of letter but their content is usually ineffective. Before sending documents they also charged more to review. They also charged for "legal research" on law they represent but lack of knowledge. I don't recommend Andrew for one bit. read more

Andrew represented me recently in a time-sensitive legal matter related to a property transaction and did an excellent job. He is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and patient. He is very prompt in replying to emails and phone calls and kept me updated about progress at all stages. Thanks to his help, we were able to resolve certain issues in a timely manner which has enabled me to carry out my transaction smoothly. read more

Just finished my divorce... it was a tough battle that involved forensic accounting, multiple hearing and a viscous dispute over assets and income available for support. It lasted for 1 year...fortunately I brought a gunslinger to the gun fight...Andrew was clearly the smartest guy in the room during our court fight . He was well prepared, determined a great strategy, and continually embarrassed opposing counsel by anticipating every move. I highly recommend Andrew as a smart, intelligent bulldog attorney that thinks 3 dimensionally when fighting a case. read more

I've met with Andrew a few times for general legal advice. I found him to be thorough in his knowledge of the law. He was very flexible with his time and availability. I am also impressed with the level of his responsiveness to emails and phone calls. An effective litigator needs to reserve empathy for his/her client, while making judgment calls about legal positions that can sometimes be tough or unpalatable. I feel that Andrew excels in maintaining this balance. read more

Andrew is one of a kind in the world of law. His communication is key to his success and the success of his clients. He is effective at listening and then delivering results. Thanks Andrew! read more

Andrew represented me in an intellectual property lawsuit, which we won. He is a terrific attorney, very forthright and even-tempered, knowledgeable about the law, able to admit his limitations, willing to persevere in the face of adversity and appropriately aggressive when he needs to be. He is an excellent communicator and also possesses a quality that is rare in attorneys: he is ethical to a tee. I highly recommend him for general legal cases. read more

Once my spouse of 18 years decided to ask for the dissolution of our marriage, i was shocked and stunned since most of those years were exceedingly good in my memory. Early the next morning, i saw a happy man at the gym who was speaking about his divorce. I gathered some courage and asked him if he knew an attorney who could also help me in my situation. He suggested Andrew Watters, and i took his advice to seek out Watters & Guedenet. I am exceedingly thankful for the ethical guidance, planning, and execution that Andrew and his team bring to the divorce process. If you are considering a divorce, or going through an amicable split-he is the sounding board you MUST have to keep your sanity and not have your emotions rule your mind. I highly recommend Andrew for his knowledge, professionalism, and friendship. I seriously recommend him to all good people going through some unsettling times. read more
