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

Dismissed!!!

I sincerely do not know what I would have done without Mr. Fiandach's expertise and support. I had my first (and I expect my only) DWI. I was embarrassed and scared of what a conviction would do to my career, future opportunities and reputation. Ed was forthcoming and honest about the potenti...al outcomes. His counsel was on point. Although I was a nervous wreck before each court appearance , I always left knowing that l selected the best lawyer. -My Iicense was not suspended as the judge intended. -My case was very long due to issues with arresting officers. There were times l wanted to accept a deal and Mr. Fiandach provided pros and cons to all of my options. I am thankful that he sincerely cared about the outcome as much as I did. Long story short -my case was dismissed. Mr. Fiandach was there each step of the way and I undoubtedly recommend him.

They Really Know Their Job

Immediately after being charged with my DWI, I called a number I'd heard on the radio. I met with the lawyer, but just wasn't feeling it. Then a friend told me that they had used Fiandach and Fiandach. I met with Ed and immediately felt comfortable. He was serious, compassionate, and had a head f...or the details. Throughout the case it was the same, I really liked him. When we got to court it was amazing. Ed is a real master. He ran the courtroom. His cross-examining was riveting. At one point, I was so caught up that I nearly forgot that it was my trial. When the verdict came back "not guilty" I really was not surprised; after Ed's performance it simply could not have been different. Throughout my case the entire staff was prompt, efficient, courteous and understanding. If you find yourself in a DWI jam, take my advice, call Ed.

Mr. Fiandach is the BEST!!!!!!

I was charged with DWI last summer. I was leaving a concert and made the biggest mistake. I went into Mr. Fiandach's office still upset with what I have done. Mr. Fiandach met with me for over an hour and told me my possible outcomes. He took my case personally and told me that we were going to g...et through this together. He was at everyone of my court appearances and called me back with the answers to all my questions. I couldn't tell you how many appointments I have made and Mr. Fiandach was always so patient with me. The day of the trial I was more scared than I have ever been in my entire life. I remember sitting there thinking about what was going to happen to me. I remember listening to the DA and cop talking about the night and then Mr. Fiandach screaming OBJECTION! He ruffled through some papers and showed them to the Judge. Mr. Fiandach cross examined the cop and the Judge needed some time to make a decision. What felt like hours were only a matter of minutes. The Judge came back and found me NOT GUILTY!!! I remember hearing those words and tears running down my face. When I looked at Mr. Fiandach all he had was the biggest smile on his face. I don't know how he did it but he kept his word of sticking through it with me until the end. If you are ever put in the situation and being charged with a DWI go to Fiandach & Fiandach. There is no other choice. The staff are wonderful, even though Mr. Fiandach handled my case personally I met the other attorney's who are wonderful as well. I talked to one of the Paralegals there named Emily who was always so patient with me and knew what to say to calm me down. Fiandach & Fiandach was worth every single penny. Thank you Mr. Fiandach for everything!!!!
