The best choice of a lawyer firm upstate NY

I will start off with the night of my arrest. I went to a local bar and grill ordered two appetizers And 3 shots of whiskey then immediately ordered two more and was given another by a stranger on st. Patricks day. From start to finish the time lapse was 12 min I then got in my car and started my 0.9...mile drive home. No more than 30 seconds from leaving the bar I was pulled over and had to preform a field test which they said I failed. I then chose to blow and blew a .33%BAC due to just consuming the alcohol minutes prior. I was then arrested and driven from Ontario to lyons. After the hr drive and 20-30 min observational period I then blew for the official reading,the result being 0.18%BAC and then was charged with aggravated dwi,dwi speeding 46 in a 35, a license plate lamp out and passing a car unsafely. The next day devastated and scared out of my mind I called two firms, fiandach and Xavier. Spoke with Xavier first and was about to hire them but then met with Ed and the professionalism and his manner made me change my mind even though their price was 1300 dollars more it just felt right. It was the best decision I have ever made. Ed and his team of attorneys demonstrated genuine charismatic personalities and carried out with the utmost professional manner. I went to court and decided to go with the bench trial route. In the end my team of attorneys did more for me then I could ever imagine. Yesterday was the final day of the trial and in the end even though the D.A. did an amazing job to prosecute me to the fullest the Jude announced that I the defendant was hereby not guilty on all charges!!!! It is a blessing and I have learned a astronomical lesson and owe so much to the fiandach team. I would recommend their services to everyone in a heart beat. To have a team that is devoted to prove your innocence and follow through was just simply amazing . So once again my family and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts for proving my innocence and doing everything that you did!

genuine professional

In the first meeting with Ed that you wish was not happening because charges are pending, the stakes are high, consequence may be dire and genuine, professional DWI defense council and personal responsiveness is so critical - call only Ed Fiandach and his Team. My experience was from the first phone ...call to his staff of dedicated legal folks who handle the logistics and related schedules of events, Ed is enabled to deliver the results to fairly and expertly lead the facts and circumstances to best outcomes in a Court of Law. The guy is passionate about Justice and possess the skills, brilliant defense acumen and down right fire in the belly to want to win very completely. I am very satisfied with Fiandach & Fiandach and recommend them to all who view this post.

Fiandach is the VERY Best!

I was involved in an accident and, unfortunately, I had had too much to drink. At 3:45 AM I called Ed Fiandach's service and Ed promptly answered the phone. He ran me through a through litany of questions and advised me not to take the breath test. The next day (a Saturday) I phoned Ed Fiandach and h...e scheduled me for an appointment. At that appointment, I hired him and I am SO glad I did. He and his associates managed to beat the refusal revocation. At trial, Ed Fiandach was superb. His court room style is like something out of the best lawyer show ever. I could tell that even the prosecutor and my Judge were in awe of his talent. Thank-you Ed Fiandach, from the bottom of my heart.

Smart, Tenacious, and Caring Attorney Who Will Represent his Clients to the Best of His Ability

I hired Ed Fiandach after being pulled over for no cause after a big Syracuse game (I have Syracuse plates on my car). The officer asked me if I had been drinking and asked me to step out of the car. I had a couple of drinks with my father along with dinner before the game but stopped drinking severa...l hours prior to driving my father back home. I was not comfortable taking a breathalyzer at the scene because I had never been in this situation and was therefore arrested for DWI. Down at the station, I called and got Ed live on the phone around 1:30 AM. Ed asked me important yes or no questions and advised me to take the breathalyzer without evening retaining him at that point. I blew well under the legal limit for DWI and was released with 4 traffic violations. I hired Ed to fight for me in court particularly for the misdemeanor of failure to breathalyze at the scene. He fought for the dismissal in court based on unconstitutional grounds and won. His expertise, tenacity and caring attitude saved me from a wrongful DWI conviction. He is a top notch attorney who listens, cares and fights for his clients rights and I highly recommend him as an attorney!

Felony Aggrrvated DWI

Back in May of 2015 I got charged with a felony DWI. Embarrassed and ashamed of myself I knew I needed one heck of a good lawyer that was very experienced in DWI'S. I couldn't be happier in that I retained Fiandach & Fiandach to represent me. It's been almost a year and I'm still fighting my case wit...h ease knowing Ed and his team are the best lawyers possible. I've seen an actual bench trial while I was awaiting and Mr. Rath tore apart the officer as the court room was literally laughing at the arresting officer. They have been open and honest every step of the way and never for a minute did they make me feel less of a person for my poor decision to drink and drive. They have given me the upmost respect and are very professional. They are friendly, on time and ready at every single court appearance thus far. I am relieved to know that I'm in good hands and I will give an update as to the final conclusion of my case. A huge thank you to your firm Ed as you clearly exceeded my expectations! PS: IF YOUVE MADE A WRONG CHOICE MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE BY CONTACTING FIANDACH & FIANDACH, I PROMISE YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED!! MONEY WELL SPENT!!!!!!!!
