The Continuing Adventures of “Lawyer” Andy Nolen

Fol­low­ing on from this post and this post:

When I googled Mek­isha Mur­ray to find her address and let her know that she’d been the vic­tim of an Andy Nolen false neg­a­tive review, up popped her Yahoo Local page, with (in addi­tion to the one-star review of the last post) this two-star review from
“niecy” on July 30, 2009:

seemed ok, but was really inter­ested in her money, what about me!

Sound famil­iar? Yep. (Some­thing you should know: Andy Nolen walks around with a netbook-type
com­puter. Typ­ing with­out caps is a result of typ­ing with one hand while hold­ing the com­puter in the other.) So I jumped over to “niecy’s” review page. Seven neg­a­tive reviews for local lawyers. No pos­i­tive review of Andy Nolen, but they’ve got his fin­ger­prints all over them. (This review on August 3, 2009, sounds a lot like Nolen’s work too.)

51 false reviews in 12 days in July. 49 of them neg­a­tive reviews of Hous­ton criminal-defense lawyers, and two of them pos­i­tive reviews of some­thing other than a criminal-defense lawyer.

So what?

So Andy Nolen is not only rip­ping off other lawyers (by caus­ing them to receive false neg­a­tive reviews) but more impor­tantly also rip­ping off the clients who make their deci­sions based on those reviews. Nobody should trust him to han­dle the most impor­tant of their affairs.

Andy Nolen has 13 pos­i­tive reviews on Yahoo Local, and some of them don’t sound like they were writ­ten by him. So what’s up? Are they all false?

(For the answer to that, see my next post.)

    Andy Nolen stole money from me and much more from not show­ing up to court, return­ing my calls and caus­ing me to hire a new lawyer and take a plea that I did not want but I had no more money. He never give paper­work or receipts this was back in 2009
