Best lawyer around.

Rita is a very professional, knowledgeable and fierce lawyer. She is honest, open and always got back to me right away. I would recommend her to any of my family and friends. I never felt rushed when meeting with her or that my constant questions and concerns were annoying her (which they would have... me). She was confident in and out of court and presented my case better than I could have hoped.

Top Notch Attorney

Ms. Bieniewicz is an excellent attorney and also a caring and intelligent person. She handles her clients with a professional yet empathetic approach that makes you feel confident in her abilities as a lawyer and comfortable with her as a person. I highly recommend her.

Criminal defense lawyer | Sep 11

Relationship: Co-worker

"Ms. Beiniewicz and I worked together at a New York City district attorney's office from 2005 until 2007. She has a brilliant legal mind, but far more importantly, she is conscientious, hard-working, steadfastly ethical and extremely competent. I would trust her legal judgment in any matter and would highly recommend her to anyone needing effective, agressive and honest legal representation. She fights as hard for individual clients as she did for the state in criminal cases, and she has great legal instincts and an easy-going disposition. She's a great choice for anyone needing a tough, agressive, fair and savvy lawyer."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
