ANDREW S. PROPHET

ANDREW S. PROPHET has the feel of a private professional outfit, and by our assessment, that is enough to keep the rating in the middle. The strongest thing about this kind of company is usually a direct line to one specialist, with decisions and responsibility sitting close together. The downside is that very little is visible to the public, so the range of work and the scale of the operation stay hard to read. In practice, that can mean a focused, personal service with little of the polish or breadth people expect from larger firms. ANDREW S. PROPHET sits in the small-practice corner of the field, not the broad commercial one, and its real ceiling is the limited public shape around the name.
