Amazing, Caring, Brilliant Attorney

I am a 45 year old Ivy League educated (both undergrad and grad) married parent of two, and professional living in Manhattan. Due to poor judgment, immaturity, and a lapse of control, I was arrested in April 2017 for 3rd degree assault. I am also a former U.S. Army Airborne Ranger officer with squeak...y clean record, no previous interaction with the police, who was traumatized by the event about all the downside risks and impact to my two young children, whom I felt I failed. I had consternation, contrition, and great anxiety about all the downside risks. The conclusion is that in July 2017, Florian got me off with the most desirable outcome of an ACD through masterful legal maneuvering where he deftly counseled me on each step of the byzantine legal process - which to a lay person can be very intimidating. Technically speaking, Florian is a brilliant attorney who handles intellectually and legally complex cases. This 3rd degree assault, while traumatic to me is a technically easy case and legally routine to Florian and his firm. But let me tell you why I avidly endorse Florian and his firm. We hear a lot of bad things about attorneys. But Florian is the rare bird who has integrity and actually cares about his clients and their cases. He's also not venal trying to run the taxi meter, which is what I noticed with many attorneys when I did my due diligence in attorney selection. He has integrity and palpably when you interact with him in person he has outstanding professional and personal character and integrity. You cannot put a dollar value on that trust and peace of mind Thank you so much Florian!

Defense Attorney- NYC

During our initial visit with Mr. Miedel, he had already done some research on my case, which was impressive for any attorney before they were retained. He is very detail oriented and will spend the extra time to get to know your case to best defend you. Florian was always responsive and I was always... well informed during the whole ordeal. I highly recommend Mr. Miedel and his firm.

Relationship: Friend

"I have known Florian since my law school days, when he was my professor for a course that truly helped me develop crucial practice skills. Since then we have become friends and colleagues, and he has been and remains generous with his knowledge, and supportive of my career. He is also a truly caring attorney who tirelessly fights for his clients, using not only his vast experience, but also a sincerely human touch. I would never even think twice about referring clients to him, and would never worry about how they were going to be treated or the quality of representation they were going to get."
