Firm Overview

Andante Law Group, PLLC is a "boutique" firm that brings big firm experience, credentials and service to clients in the intimacy of a small firm setting. We assist clients with corporate restructuring, business bankruptcy, loan workouts and enforcement, commercial litigation, and real estate, and corporate transactions. For many of our clients, the transactions and disputes with which they entrust us are "bet the enterprise" matters. We take that trust seriously, and pride ourselves on bringing a "real world" business perspective to the advice and services that we provide. "Andante" is an Italian word used in music to denote "a walking pace." In good times and bad, there are paths that must be followed to achieve, preserve or recover success. Finding and progressing down the right path may not be possible without an experienced and loyal guide. Even the journey of a thousand miles, as Confucius sagely noted, begins with a single step. Let us be your trusted guide. Walk with Us.
