I contacted this office the day after my arrest. I met with Ed himself who assured me he would personally representing me. I was reassured that I was choosing the best option for circumstance. He recommended I have an alcohol evaluation done because the judge will want one and I will look good gettin...g it done early. At my first court appearance a man walked up asking my name & said he’s representing me today. He had my “file” and didn’t need any imformation from he said. The judge ordered intake an evaluation for next appearance. I was frustrated because the result of the one I just had was in my “file.” The DA and judge didn’t have it. Now the next appearance comes and its some different guy representing me. I actually see him almost every time after that. We rarely communicate and I’m just greatful I have my mother with me every time. Ow we get towards the end of things. The court interviews the trooper who pulled me over and I’m found guilty. Of course my lawyer, the DA and the judge are very friendly with and enjoy catching up with the trooper. He’s a friend to all apparently. So of course I’m found guilty. I’m ordered to attend a driver impact panel, take the DDP classes and to pay court fines and dmv costs. The judge and my lawyer assure me at that time that if I complete everything I shouldn’t even have to appear for the last date of compliance. I complete everything, except the DDP class as I was only in class 3 of 7. It took weeks for the dmv to get court paperwork to sign up for the class and the classes usually have monthly sign ups. So this was not by any fault of mine, as this compliance date was about 6 weeks out. A week prior to this date I called and spoke with Cassandra and explained that everything was completed except my completion of the DDP classes. She said she had to get back to me because there were no lawyers in the office. Okay, I called back that Friday, 2 days later. It was Cassandra again. She seemed to have an attitude or frustration that was calling again. She explained that there no lawyers in still and Monday was going to be a holiday, Labor Day so people were out. She would try to get answer by end of day. So Tuesday comes, my court date is Wednesday and my little preschooler’s first day of school ever. I was so excited and so was he that I bring him that first day. My court date for compliance is weighing on my mind though as it’s at 9am and I was getting anxious! I call Tuesday now, as they couldn’t help me Monday due to the holiday. Of course I get Cassandra. I’m frustrated now as she doesn’t have an answer from a lawyer still! She talks down to me and tells me I should have known I had court and had to appear and shouldn’t be upset because it’s what happens when I’m involved in something like this. If you could have seen my jaw drop! I’m so angry now and demand to talk to a lawyer or supervisor. She gets condescending and reply’s with things like I’d be so happy to do that for you and I hope your day gets better mam. I wanted to drive down there so she could look me in the face as she was speaking to me that way! I get Sue now. I explain how pissed I am and especially with Cassandra. Sue explains that Cassandra is new and should have taken care of everything the week proline but didn’t know that. Sue asked for an email with all of my paid receipts and notice I was enrolled in my class. She said the lawyer would represent me and I wouldn’t have to come to court that be t day. I thanked Sue and was feeling somewhat relieved. So of course nobody calls me after court or all week. I just wait for my documents to come in the mail. Saturday they come. It says that the judge has ordered another evaluation and a mandatory court appearance from me in 4 weeks! I’m beyond anger, frustration, sadness. Each evaluation costs me $200. Plus I thought I already complied and was sentenced & it’s less than 9 months since my last one.. I get it done & no lawyer shows up on my court date! My mom talks to Cassan

In December I was charged with DWI and Refusal after I skidded on ice and ended in a ditch. A few days after the incident, I contacted a number of attorneys and met with 2. When I met with Ed, I knew he was my attorney. Ed’s knowledge of the DWI laws made me feel very comfortable, so choosing Ed was ...an easy decision. My main concern was my license as I frequently travel for business and have to rent cars. Ed put my mind at ease and explained the worst scenario as well as his opinion on how things would play out. Before each hearing or trial, I met with Ed to discuss the situation and process. He was always able to put my mind at ease. When it came to the hearing, Ed was a true expert. He challenged the deputy on every aspect of the arrest, and clearly made argument in regards to the charges against me thus putting reasonable doubt in the evidence behind the charges. We finally went to trial a few months after the hearing, Ed again was a star; he put enough doubt into the courts mind regarding the charges and drew enough discrepancies out of the deputies testimony. We left court that night without a decision. The judge said he would review and write his decision and notify Ed and the DA. The decision was provided to us about 2 months after the trial. Result was that ALL Charges were dropped. Additionally, Ed and his team were able to get the DMV hearing for my refusal to breathalyzer test dropped as well. No charges on license, no suspension, could not be a better outcome for me. I have to say that Ed and his team are true professionals. When I had meetings Ed spent time with me and as needed his other lawyers on his team would attend as well. When I needed to talk to Ed, I was able to call and leave message and always got a timely response. I could not be happier with the decision to hire Ed and his team. I would recommend Fiandach to anyone that is faced with a DWI/DWAI charge. A true expert in the field.

I hired Ed for a felony DWI and 4 other VTL 1128 0A on the same night. i though this was the END of my business and my life . my whole life turned into an ugly nightmare when i was charged. ED helped me put an END to this nightmare with a RESULT i thought was not possible. he made everything go a...way got my life back on track i was FREE OF ALL CHARGES .. i was found not guilty .. ED you're truly a DWI GOD. thank you for this new life.

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!

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.
