Great Experience with Andrew

In my case I was facing a driving on suspended/DUI related. Andrew is a straight shooter and laid out all the possible consequences I could have faced. I appreciated his honesty because it prepared me for what I might face. On my court date I was expecting the worst and my only concern was for my so...n if I would've gone to jail and Andrew knew that. He was able to discuss the case with the prosecutor and worked out a deal where I only had to pay a fine. I was so relieved I could go home to my son. I am so very grateful and appreciative of Andrew's dedication to my case and I would definitely recommend him!

DWI

I was arrested for DWI leaving a concert at Jiffy Lube LIve. While most of the evidence should have found me guilty, I was able to get off free and clear with Mr. Rudolphi. Although my court cases were continued three times (part of the strategy), I am so glad that I chose the lawyer that I did. Each... time we met, Mr. Rudolphi was one of the only lawyers that would show up with stacks of paperwork showing he had done his research on my particular case. None of the other lawyers seemed as prepared as he was. In writing an honest review there were times I began to doubt Mr. Rudolphi's "plan of attack". There are many factors that go into a court case and many of them have to do with getting the right judge, and the right prosecutor. However, when it was my time to go to trial Mr. Rudolphi handled the courtroom with expertise! My wife and I were truly impressed with his poise, and would highly recommend him if you find yourself in an unfortunate situation. I still can't believe that I got off without any punishment.

Superb

I would like to say "Thank you" to Andrew and his team for the energy and hard work that provided to my family and I. When I first met with Andrew and his team my emotions was out of control , tears falling, uncertainty, and confused about the sons situation. From that point with little to no infor...mation given I left the office feeling better. Andrew & his team assured me the whole time that they will do everything in their power to make sure my son came out ok. No matter what time it was, Andrew was very responsive to my phones, emails and text messages (superb customer service). The team kept my family & I informed throughout the process. I can't think Andrew & his team enough for their patience, dedication, hard work, time, energy, commuication, and understanding. I applaud this team for the superb service and great outcome for my son.

Traffic Attorney

Once I received the traffic citation for speeding (46 in a 30), I started to panic. I knew my insurance was going to shoot up! I wasn't even worried about points, just my insurance. After calling several lawyers, I settled on Andrew, primarily because of the confidence he had in my case. Fast for...ward to the court date, I was exceptionally pleased with the results. Andrew really delivered. Thanks, Andrew!

gladiator in a suit

I would like to start out by, saying thank you so much to Andrew for his time, hard work and dedication. When I went in for a consultation, Andrew and his staff were really welcoming. I sat down in his office and Andrew asked me to explain my situation. (This was after I had already met a few lawyers... that did not even seem interested in hearing my case). Andrew really took the time to listen to me and he paid very close attention to all the details of my situation. He told me what I had to do and get done to be presentable in front of the judge when the court day came. When the court date came, the prosecutor refused to lower my charge. Andrew and his team refused to accept. So he continued my case. With confidence, he stated he would not give up. However, he did tell me it was going to be tough but he will fight and take it to circuit court if he had to. He a true gladiator in a suit. Before the second hearing, Andrew had called me telling me he tried to make a 2nd offer with the prosecutor. But he never got an answer back. He assured me if things do not go the way we planned, he would not give up. His exact words were "we would go down fighting". When the court day came, it seemed impossible to get a deal. It's was a pretty intense waiting game. After several hours later, Andrew had walked to me and asked Who is the best lawyer you know?" I told him: YOU! The deal he was able to get: My 1st DUI charge got dropped to a wreckless! No jail time, no interlock, no probation, no community service, and six months restricted license. There are not enough words to express how greateful I am to Andrew and the firm! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
