Ed Fiandach and his team are fantastic!

I found myself in the unfortunate circumstances where I needed to hire a DWI attorney and I'm glad I chose Fiandach and Fiandach. Ed and his team were great at explaining the process, answering my questions, and keeping me informed throughout the process. During the pre-trial hearing the judge rule...d to suppress all evidence (basically dismissing the case) all due to strong work/performance of Ed's team member during the hearing). However, the DA appealed to the county court and, due to no fault of Ed or his team, my case was prolonged for over two years. Throughout the whole process, Ed and his team were very responsive, did all that they could to help me stay patient, and pushed through until the case was just finally dismissed! I'm fortunate that everything will be erased from my record so it won't effect my career or my family in the future. A very hard lesson to learn but I'm grateful that, because of the work of Ed and his team, I will not have a criminal record.

Thank-you Ed

When I was in the custody of the police after my arrest, I told them that I wanted to talk to a lawyer before I made up my mind because I am a school teacher. I tried several numbers, but either they weren't there or they wanted a credit card. The officer said "Fiandach always answers" and he was ri...ght. At 3:30 in the morning, Ed painstakingly went through my situation and condition and even spoke with the officer. After I was released, I contacted the Fiandach office, spoke with a nice woman named Sue and was given an immediate appointment with Ed. For the next four months we were a team. Ed and his associates were always on time for court and it was obvious to me that they knew their way through the system. On the day of my trial I was terrified, but Ed's friendly manner mellowed me out. In the end, we got what Ed hoped we'd get and I kept my job and my sanity. Thank you Ed and everyone at Fiandach & Fiandach.

Samantha raises a point lost to many. In New York, a motorist who is asked to submit to a chemical test (this will be the one at the police station, not the preliminary breath test at the scene), has a right to consult with counsel prior to making a decision. The decision to take or not take a test is vitally important and is best made by counsel. In the event that a motorist is denied the right to consult with counsel, either the test or a refusal that follows may be subject to suppression. - Ed Fiandach

Compassionate and VERY Talented

I had always thought that DWI lawyers and personal injury lawyers were the bottom of the bucket . . . Until I received a DWI and hired Edward L. Fiandach. As many other reviewers say, at our first meeting he made me feel at ease. He informed me that this was going to be no easy task and was quite c...lear in informing me that we might not win. While I was a client he always returned my calls promptly and kept me informed with letters and emails. Also, at no additional charge, I could meet with him when ever I wanted. When we went to trial I was astounded by the manner in which works. He told me in advance that he does not use notes when he cross-examines and he doesn't! He KNOWS every detail in his head! He knew every fact and cross-examined the cop right into the ground. He actually got him to admit that he might have made a mistake when he said I was drunk! I swear I will never drive drunk again, but if YOU have, there is only one place you should go, Fiandach and Fiandach.

DWI- CONVICTED

I was pulled over one night and was charged with my first aggrevated DWI. My wife insisted that I hire Ed Fiandach. I had my initial consultation with him and that was the only time I saw Mr.Fiandach. I read all the reviews and decided to hire him as my counsel. The whole process took a year to settl...e. Mr. Fiandach did not represent me in any of my court appearances however his team of different attorneys were with me every time I had court. Plea deal of just a DWI was offered to me multiple times but I was determined to get a dismissal since I read multiple reviews online from different clients that Mr.Fiandach is a master in getting a case exactly like mine dismissed. I opted to take the case to trial instead of accepting a Plea deal because I was not settling for a DWI. I am hoping Mr.Fiandach shows up on this last day of judgement and the result is in my favor. A completely different attorney shows up who I have never seen or met before on my final day of judgement. We introduce each other and we go to trial. 2 hours later I walk out with a conviction of aggrevated DWI. Never heard or saw Mr.Fiandach since the day I initially consulted him and paid him in full for retaining him as my counel. I will say that his team of attorneys are very polite and cordial. Will I recommend the fiandach firm to anyone? I dont think so because I am a result driven individual and I had the pleasure of meeting his team and witnessing them perform in the courtroom except for Mr.Fiandach and for that reason I doubt the integrity of all the positive reviews that are listed all over the internet.

Unfortunately, although we always do our very best, we cannot guarantee nor do we always succeed at trial, especially in cases such as this where there is a very high BAC. This individual fails to point out that at his request, I met with the prosecutor and the Judge to negotiate a plea to a reduced charge and I was able to obtain the same. That is the “plea deal” that the client refers to. Once we obtained the favorable plea bargain, the client changed his mind and decided that he wanted instead to go to trial. He was cautioned that his BAC was extremely high and that he faced a high probability of conviction on the top count. Our absolute policy is never coercing a client to accept a plea bargain. It is our policy, as it should be, that the client must make the decision as to whether or not to go to trial. Our advice notwithstanding, the client nevertheless insisted upon a trial and the results are as he set forth. I wish him luck in the future. Ed Fiandach

Best Attorney you can get. Very Professional

I had first talked to a different attorney to discuss my problem and decided to go with him. By the time I got home I felt I had made a mistake...I had always heard good things about Fiandach & Fiandach so I went to the site. When I read all the great reviews I knew I had to make a change. I called t...heir office that afternoon and they took me in the following morning. I immediately made the final decision to hire Ed after talking to him. He did the best job anyone could have done for me and I would highly recommend him. Ed Fiandach is definitely the best.
