As the first DWI attorney in the State of New York to receive the highest rating possible by the prestigious Martindale-Hubble rating service, as the first attorney approved as a Board Certified DWI specialist by the American Bar Association, as the first New York Attorney to be named a Regent of the National College for DUI Defense and the first New York attorney to ever be named Dean of the National College for DIU Defense, my credentials speak for themselves. More importantly, however, I'm a family man. As the father of a fifteen year old boy and my six year old daughter daughter, I know what it means to accept the ultimate responsibility for another.

Great lawyer represents clients well - is everything he says he is. Perfect for the situation my son was in - as an innocent person! DA wanted a quick plea, was denied and All charges dismissed, lack of/no evidence.

My experience with Mr. Fiandach and his team was exceptional. He treated me with kindness and dignity during one of the most daunting experiences in my life. Facing a second DWI in less than 10 years. Mr. Fiandach utilized his knowledge of the law, and close attention to detail to determine that my s...

I hired Ed after several people recommended his firm. We met and discussed my case in depth, we discovered many discrepancies while speaking, several that only an expert would realize. His knowledge and professionalism is simply amazing, all charges were dismissed.
Thanks Russ. This was a fairly complicated matter. You are quite correct that there were issues that could have been missed. I work hard at this because I enjoy it so much. Thank you for your kind words and the best of luck to you in the future. Ed Fiandach

Ed and the team at Fiandach & Fiandach are quite simply the best in the business. If you read no further, know that if you need a DWI attorney, hire Ed now. If you want to know a little more about our experience, keep reading. The day following my son’s arrest, we were in a state of shock and imme...
Thank you for the outstanding review. This was a very interesting case with issues that required a thorough examination. I'm glad your friend advised you and you made the switch when you did, too often people who recieve shoddy represention come to me after it is too late to do any good.
"Mr. Fiandach is a leader in the field of DWI defense, and I have had the benefit of attending his talks and seminars on DWI. I am a DWI lawyer who competes for business with his firm, but I do not hesitate to endorse him."
"I've known Ed for close to a decade, and believe him to be one of the most knowledgeable and effective DUI lawyers in the Nation. I listened to him speak about breath test defenses in what was one of the best seminars I've ever attended on this topic. I enthusiastically recommend Ed for any alcohol related crime."
"I endorse this lawyer. Attorney Fiandach is the finest DUI/DWI attorney in his state period! He is the first and last call I would ever make for a client or a family member. I highly recommend his legal services."
"I endorse this lawyer. When you have so much on the line, experience matters. They do one thing and do it well."
"Mr Fiandach is a fantastic lawyer and I have learned a lot from him. He is very generous with his time and teachings. If I were ever accused of a crime, he is the first attorney I would call. His work is exemplary and he is one of the top DWI lawyers in the country, in my opinion."
"I've known Ed Fiandach for more than 15 years. I originally met him when he was a Regent for the National College for DUI Defense. His reputation as a fighter, his knowledge of science, and his compassionate demeanor make him unsurpassed in his field. Juries love him and prosecutors fear him. He is a force to be reckoned with. Anyone who hires Ed can expect the absolute best possible result in his/her case."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Mr. Fiandach is a tenacious drunk driving defense attorney. He dedicates himself to every case and will do his very best to secure a favorable outcome for his clients. He also is a fantastic presenter at law conferences."
"Ed Fiandach is one of the brightest, most talented lawyers in America. I have had the honor to know him for the last nine years as his student and as a fellow lawyer. He is a charismatic and eloquent trial lawyer - with exceptional skill and knowledge. I would not hesitate to refer a loved one to him."
"Ed Fiandach is, simply put, one of the preeminent DUI practitioners in the country today. He is the author of the textbook on New York DUI litigation, is a former Regent and Dean of the National College for DUI Defense, and has lectured to attorneys across the country. I endorse this widely respected member of the profession without reservation."
"Ed is THE premier New York DWI Attorney. He is the attorney who 'wrote the book' on NY DWI Law. I endorse Ed with the highest approval."
