About Andrew M.
Andrew M — Engel is a dedicated consumer law attorney based in Centerville, Ohio. He has been practicing law in the state since 1990, bringing over three decades of experience to his clients. Engel's primary focus is on consumer law, but he also possesses significant expertise in real estate law and appellate practice. He earned his Juris Doctor from American University Washington College of Law in 1987, following his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Miami University of Ohio in 1983. Throughout his career, Engel has encountered various disciplinary actions that have shaped his professional journey. In 2001, he received a public reprimand from the Ohio Supreme Court due to neglecting a legal matter and attempting to handle it without adequate preparation. This reprimand marked a turning point in his practice, prompting him to reassess his approach to client representation.
In 2004, Engel faced a two-year suspension, with six months stayed, for failing to seek the lawful objectives of a client and not cooperating with a disciplinary investigation. These experiences underscored the importance of diligence and communication in legal practice. In 2018, Engel faced another disciplinary challenge, resulting in a two-year suspension, with 18 months stayed. This suspension stemmed from his failure to follow through on a client's debt-collection case and a lack of cooperation with disciplinary investigators. However, Engel demonstrated resilience and commitment to his profession. He was reinstated to the practice of law in 2019 after meeting the conditions set by the court. This lets the attorney continue serving clients in need of legal assistance.
