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.

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

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.

DWI? Absolutely 100% the only law firm you should consider

I was charged with felony DWI in February 2015 with a refusal. I immediately consulted my private family attorney and considering that the case wasn't the average DWI circumstances he was honest with me and suggested I seek counsel from an attorney that specialized in DWI such as Ed Fiandach. Ever s...ince my first consultation with Mr. Fiandach, I have been more than satisfied. They were prompt wit my initial visit, I met with Ed himself and he was extremely informative, answering all my questions and setting a clear honest opinion of my case, as well as a financial expectation that (while slightly more than other firms) is completely reasonable for the services received. Every attorney at this firm that has appeared on my behalf in court (Terence McCarty and Timothy C. Rath) have been more that helpful and completely knowledgeable of the case. I was beyond impressed when Terence McCarty ended up winning my refusal hearing at the DMV for me. I have no regrets or complaints with this firm. I feel that they have gone above and beyond for me as their client and they are worth every dollar that I have spent on my defense. Not only would I recommend them with the highest regard, I wouldn't even suggest shopping around or considering another firm to handle a DWI. Thank you so much to this firm for their excellence and professionalism.
