Speaker: Andrew Gay, Jr., Philadelphia Criminal Defense & Personal Injury Lawyer
“My dad practiced law in this town for 42 years. I remember going to trials of his in City Hall and I believe having those experiences as a young kid forms the type of lawyer that I am today.
I like to get to know the client. I like to understand what the client’s dilemma is and how it is that we can get the best outcome for them.
I believe what separates myself from other lawyers in Philadelphia, is that I truly make myself available to clients at any time of the day.
When people come to me for a criminal defense matter they come to me because their liberty is literally at stake.
When someone approaches me about a personal injury matter, they come to me because their lives have been turned upside down and they need someone to help them put it back to the way that it was before this accident occured.
If I had to use three words to describe the lawyer that I am today, I would characterize them as reliable, dedicated and prepared.”
What to Expect at Our First Meeting

Speaker: Andrew Gay, Jr., Philadelphia Criminal Defense & Personal Injury Lawyer
“It’s important to be prepared for the first meeting with me to make sure that we can all get an understanding of what has happened, and what it is that needs to be done in a short period of time.
I like for clients to be involved in the preparation of their case. What I ask clients to do is to make sure they write down everything they remember about what happened—even if it’s something that they don’t think is particularly relevant. It would also be helpful during that first meeting for you to bring a list of witnesses who may have seen what happened and any list of documents that might be relevant to the case.
When I meet with you the first time it’s an opportunity for us to talk about what is to be expected over the next couple weeks.
I really try to educate clients to make sure that when we get to that first preliminary hearing together, you’re going to understand exactly what is happening in the courtroom as if you had done it a hundred times before.
It really is important during that first interview to make sure that there is a good start to the relationship with a client. Many times what I do is to make sure that you understand that you are dealing not only with a lawyer, but you’re dealing with someone who understands your problem, someone who’s willing to listen to what happened, so that we together can make sure that we deal with it as best as we can.
I’m going to shoot straight with you from the very first interview and let you know what it is that we could possibly expect as an outcome.
The initial consultation is always free and the sooner you pick up the phone to schedule an appointment, the sooner we can talk about your case.”
