Andrew Martin was the Estate Attorney on our Probate case. He promptly filed the case and instructed me how to legally proceed. He answered ALL my questions in person, by phone, or by email--he was always responsive. My siblings were constantly challenging me on Estate matters (I was the court appointed Personal Representative). However, I stayed calm because Andy always made sure I followed the law/judges orders. His representation was worth every penny through this stressful time! Highly recommend!

Andrew Martin has been my attorney for a few years now. In my opinion, he is professional, knowledgeable and his communication/response time is exceptional. I highly recommend this law firm.

Kenny Swart

Great law firm full of knowledgeable attorneys that will not mislead you like many do now days. No false hopes they give you honest opinion and strive to deliver and please you as the client. Highly recommend...

Its been a long, hellish two years, but Attorney Valdivia fought through it with me the whole time.Kristin Valdivia got me out of a lot of low spots through the process and was motivated by more than the money at stake. Christina Miller who works at the same firm, had also helped me throughout the process.Excellent lawyers, assistants, and receptionistsI highly recommend anyone unfortunate enough to have to go through a divorce or having any legality issues contact anyone in the Sachs and Hess firm to help them through.Thank you all!!!!

If I could rate this Lawyer Andrew Martin a zero I would . The attorney Andrew Martin was the worst lawyer in the history of lawyers I paid this so called Lawyer 3000$ one lump sum almost my whole tax return at the time to represent me and my daughter born out of wedlock. However that is beside the point here, I placed my trust into this lawyer and all he did was degrade me and had me pay for full paternity testing . Thank God for decent judges, she requested my daughters father pay for the whole test (400)$ give or take. Which father then refused to pay once judge requested this. He also slandered me to my daughters father and told him to go against me. I plead with others dont spend your hard earned money here. They are greedy horrible human beings. The only decent ones were the receptionists, and to top it all off Andrew Martin was so disgusting. He told me if people couldnt afford kids they should not spread there legs, and that I Coulda had slept with the whole locker room per his words verbatum. In the end he did nothing for me and took my money and still had the decency to charge me 300$ more dollars for making some phone calls to me which I was a single mother struggling at the time and was going through financial difficulties. I would run far away from this office. Not all lawyers are this awful but his office is!

Andrew Martin has been my go-to attorney for nearly 7 years. He displays great communication for any and all questions, is very quick to respond, and is overall on top of his game. He does anything he can to get you the best possible outcome. Highly recommended.

I had Andrew as my attorney in my divorce, he was fantastic. He stayed in top my my needs and questions and made sure my ex was fully informed in what was happening. He had patience and was very polite through it all. He made sure all of my needs and expectations were met. I would definitely recommend him and this firm to someone seeking legal help.

I just called to see if I could retain their services for a mal-practice case and the lawyer started screaming. Literally screaming HOW WERE YOU HARMED I wouldve explained if you let me get a word in. I would look elsewhere for legal help.

Christina Miller and Kristin Valdivia failed in numerous ways. Too many to name. They failed to follow my requests to stop contact with my ex husbands attorney and run all requests thru me to mitigate legal fees, a direct violation of my written request that resulted in extensive additional legal fees. From the date of hiring them, I requested mediation & they failed to make this happen. Only until the court ordered mediation did it take place, a year later & a significant amount of legal fees later. During mediation I was forced to be in the same room (with no warning or preparation) with my ex who is not permitted to be anywhere near me. I was not prepared for this by my attorneys nor did they speak up for me during mediation. At all. When berated by the mediator that the abuse was my fault by saying thats your fault, you shouldve left a long time ago! Kristin Valdivia merely whispered under her breath its not as easy as you think. This was appalling behavior by the mediator and attorney. Kristin and Christina are NOT advocates for victims of domestic violence, they advised me that I needed to speak up to have my abuser removed from the room. That is what THEY were hired to do, be my voice. They FAILED! They failed to advise me that upon separation I could have made changes in benefits etc. this failure on their part costs me THOUSANDS of dollars. They lack the skills and ability to perform as an attorney should. There is a lot more I can list however, I think this is enough to help others make an informed decision. Stay far away and save your money. Terrible representation, victim blamers and they will merely take all your money.

Robert is one of the best attorneys you can find. Period.

Horrible! Andrew Martin, what a joke. Unfortunately I thought I was hiring from a great law firm (as they describe themselves) truly not the case. Andrew explained to me how everything was in my favor. My ex husband took me to court to have me thrown out of the house! That went in my favor however it was all downhill from there. I had no idea what I was doing (you expect your lawyer to have your back). Andrew Martin did NOT show me paperwork about finances or the appraisal on the house until I thought to ask for them which unfortunately was after the divorce was final. The financial's were wrong, I have no idea where those numbers came from. I did NOT have that much money in my account (we had separate checking accounts, same bank) this is also when I found out how much money was being put into other accounts at a different bank. At the divorce is when Andrew changed into a completely different person and told me this is how it is! The day before the divorce is when he called me into his office to talk TO me about making a list of things I wanted from the house, proceeds to say 'are you going to leave anything'. Btw my ex works at Ford Motor Co. and gets free legal through the union, I ended up having to pay the bill for 'my attorney'. Could go on but....hopefully this is enough to let you know I was swindled by my attorney as much as I was by my ex husband!

Stay away from this law firm!! Don't hire Mr Hess for any of your family courts needs. This man charges 325 dollars an hour, the most expensive lawyer in lake county. He claims you can use his paralegals for 175 an hour. Well his paralegals and secretaries will do nothing to help you. They will blow you off and make excuses for Mr Hess. I paid this man a 5000 dollar retainer and he did not do one thing agreed upon. I had two meeting with this man to form an action plan. He offer and said he was going to do everything under the sun. Not ONE thing he stated did he do. He refuses to give you his email or phone number, yet hides behind his secretaries I had 6 emails unanswered, 7 phone called un returned. Two occasions I was ignored because he was to busy with another client and had no respect to call to inform me. Now I sit here with court tomorrow, nothing drafted up that we agree upon. All I have is a non legally binding letter to opposing counsel for a minor issue I could care less about. The only reason I have this letter is because he called my house at 10pm with nothing done he was instructed on. He offered this letter up because he did NOTHING!!! I have done this for ten years, my ex is psychotic I know the whole drill. I fight for my child's safety. Move on to the next lawyer website ASAP. You will get burned at Sachs&Hess!! My experience is women are better lawyers in the lake county juvenile court system.

Andrew Martin has been my attorney for the past 5 years. He has gone above and beyond for me in my divorce. When my ex husbands attorney tried to belittle me and push her way, he fought back for my kids and I. He has always been honest and to the point. If I had questions or concerns no matter how big or small, he was there with the answers in a timely manner. When my ex found out the law firm I hired, he was very upset and told me 'that's who I was going to hire!'. I recommend Andrew Martin to anyone I know going through a divorce! He's the best in the NWI area, contrary to what others my say!!

Andrew Martin was my attorney that I hired to represent me in a dispute I had with the Hammond police department and the city of hammond. It was very frustrating working with him because he told me that he believes i i have a case against the police and that he believes my rights had been violated. Every part of my complaint was captured on video. It was an open and shut case. He told me that he didn't want to file a lawsuit but wanted to write a letter to the police department and ask for compensation for my rights being violated. A month later I recieved a certified letter from him telling me he has dropped my case and recommend that I find a new lawyer because the police claims no wrong doing in my case. To me it was very unprofessional for him to drop my case without so much as a simple phone call to me or to the police department. How can any lawyer tell a person that his rights were violated and that they have a lawsuit but then drop them as a client? I was a long time customer of this law firm since 1993. My parents also used this law firm in the 1990's when they were located in Hammond. I can't speak on the rest of the people in that law firm but I certainly would not recommend Andrew Martin to represent anyone. It's really says something when the law firm has only two reviews and both are negative and both about the same lawyer. I was willing to sign over 1/3 of a settlement to this lawyer and all he was going to do was write a letter. I didn't mind because my past experience with this firm and the integrity of its name was solid. Now I know that Sachs & Hess is not the law firm it use to be. There are hundreds of lawyers out there and Andrew Martin is not one I would ever recommend.

Filed for a divorce after 30 years of marriage, in 2012. Divorce granted 2013. But just try to get the 50/50 property! OMG. Mr. Hess was missing for over a year and never returned my calls. I was frantic. I trusted him. Even though the decree says the ex must pay for any additional fees thru exs actions - this did not happen. The divorce came to over $20,000. I was told since the ex did not include a pension - we would go after the total amount and ex would have to pay lawyer/court fees for that. Ex claimed ignorance. (I agreed to my half - yet mediation was ordered anyway.) It is now 2018 -- and my bill is now OVER $40,000. My lawyer didn't have a 'smoking gun' to prove that ex knew about the other pension. Why didn't he tell me this? And avoid all the time and MONEY of going thru mediation??? I AGREED TO THE TERMS BEFORE THE MEDIATION. Hess never ever listened to me. I now owe OVER $12000. Like I said, I trusted this man to make the right decision for me. I was a stay at home mom. I am older. I have NO real job experience. I can NOT find a decent job anywhere. I received my 2002 car, NOTHING from the house - even though there was some listing in the decree -- and a very very VERY costly attorney fee. My ex's fees came to about $12000. Be careful who you hire!! Don't be a dummy like me. Good Luck

I dont know which lawyer I spoke with bc I was on the phone. THE MAN WAS HORRIBLE! I called them bc I was kinda pricing out a good family law attorney. Not only did he judge my actions without knowing the whole story but he also asked me why I haven't done something sooner. I told him that I couldn't afford to get a lawyer. BUT when I asked him what his price would be he told me $4000 (I asked him if he could take payments) and told me I would have to have it all up front b4 he would start the procedure. HONESTLY don't ask me why I havent been able to do this sooner and then say 'Well I wont be able to help til the money is all there'LAWYERS LIKE THIS ARE MORE WORRIED ABOUT MONEY THAN FAMILIES IN NEED! I hope this helps anyone looking for a family law attorney. This firm might have good lawyers (I dont know bc this was the only expirence) but whats the point of having a good FAMILY LAW ATTORNEY if the botttom line is not protecting the family.

If you are looking for someone to represent you to the fullest? Sachs & Hess are your people. From being served divorce papers, with less than 24 hours notice of initial court hearing Andrew Martin, with his own schedule full was able to make the early morning court date. Do you need someone that will fight for you with every ounce of his being. Mr. Martin is the man! He is very caring, compassionate and upfront about what your needs are to what he needs from his clients. Without going into too much detail about my case, imagine standing at the bottom of a hill and out of nowhere lava starting pouring down the sides. Attorney Martin turned that lava into stone as we climbed that hill. I am forever GRATEFUL he was sitting by my side through this process.
