After (mistakenly)using an out of town lawyer and being initially ruled guilty of reckless driving 82 in a 55. I appealed the ruling and contacted Mr. Rudolphi after reading the great reviews he had on many sites. With holding an active security clearance I was afraid of losing it because I already had a previous reckless charge, Andrew assured me I made the right decision by calling him with his deep knowledge of Arlington’s court system and their prosecutors made me feel reassured. Andrew was able to work out a deal with the prosecutor before my appeal date and got the ticket changed from reckless driving to speeding 9mph over avoiding another reckless and saving my clearance! All around great guy recommended 10/10!!!

Beyond Grateful
Had the pleasure of working with Andrew Rudolphi regarding a speeding violation. He was super professional, responsive and clearly connected in the law community in the DC metro area. Because of the work he does and suggestions he had me do related to driver improvement, things turned out very well for my case. Can’t thank him enough. Would recommend him to anyone in need of excellent representation.

Highly recommend with very satisfactory result
Andrew Rudolphi definitely exceeded my expectations from all dimensions.
I hired Andrew as my attorney to defend a Reckless Driving charge, and Andrew did an amazing job of reducing the case to the best outcome that I can imagine- he convinced the prosecutor to significantly reduce my charge of Reckless Driving 56/35 to the no-point traffic infraction of Failure to Pay Time & Attention.
As a result, I only need to pay a fine of $100 plus court costs.
This was the first time that I got pulled over and learned that I had to be in court to defend my case. I had spoken to 4 to 5 lawyers before I connected with Andrew, and he is the one with the most pleasant attitude to work with. Believe me, it is important when you are experiencing something really bad, and you need professional advice to understand the situation you are in.
Andrew proactively provided all the necessary steps to prepare the case and also showed up early in the court date to meet me and communicate with the prosecutors to get the best result.
Andrew's cost is also very reasonable for a Reckless Driving Charge.
I couldn't be more happy with the outcome of my case, and would always want to recommend him to anyone in a similar situation.

2 Driving On Suspended
I happened to get hit with 2 Driving On Suspended tickets within a month of each other. After calling Andrew, his first words were “we have to get creative with this” and that he did. I hired him for only one of my cases, he then helped me move forward with my second case alone - all at the best cost I’m sure any Lawyer in the DMV CANNOT beat, along with the best outcome of BOTH CHARGES DISMISSED. I will keep referring him to anyone I know that needs one!

Andrew Rudolphi is Amazing
Mr. Andrew Rudolphi is an excellent lawyer. He is extremely intelligent and competent at what he does. I had a firearm-related incident and reached out to 3-4 lawyers with good reviews before deciding to go with Mr. Rudolphi, and I’m glad I did. He was able to analyze my situation from all angles and provide guidance on how to get the charge dismissed — and the charge was indeed dismissed by the prosecutor and judge. It’s evident that Mr. Rudolphi can navigate the complex laws. I highly recommend Andrew Rudolphi.

Number 1 Criminal Defense Lawyer in the DMV
After being arrested in Arlington for being drunk in public I was extremely worried how this would affect the rest of my life. Also, as someone who recently moved to the DMV I didn't have a standard core of close friends or family members around to recommend or point me in the right direction to a solid local lawyer. So I spent extensive time researching various Criminal Defense Lawyers in the area and after talking to several of them I ended up feeling most comfortable with Andrew. He came across very sharp, professional, HUNGRY, eager and willing to go the extra mile. His prices were fair and in some cases were significantly less expensive than the others I spoke to. Throughout the process he was always on top of his game. He was proactive, very knowledgeable and was always in constant communication with me providing updates. He always called, emailed and or texted me daily or as needed never letting anything fall through the cracks. I've had other lawyers in the past and I can say without a doubt that you won't find a better lawyer in the DMV than Andrew. 100% Guaranteed.
OUTCOM: Dismissed & Expunged from my record all within 7 Months or less

Recommendation for Andrew Rudolphi
I recommend Andrew fully and without reservation. When a family member made a poor decision, we turned to Andrew. He was calm, knowledgeable, and professional, helping get the charges down to misdemeanors and always having our back. He went above and beyond for us - and at no extra charge - for which we are extremely grateful. You never want to need a lawyer, but if you do, hire Andy and follow his advice. It'll be the right decision for you and your family.

Great Defense!
After speaking with many attorneys for my alleged reckless driving charge, Andrew was the most well-spoken, professional, knowledgable, and personable one. He fought for me in court for multiple hours and eventually got my charges reduced down to a normal speeding ticket. He provides the recipe for success. All you have to do is listen!
