Andrew Rudolphi

A couple months back I was arrested for DWI in Fairfax County. Since we had no idea how to proceed or what to do we decided to seek legal help. Andrew was one of the first persons to respond to our request for representation. We were very impressed by his thoroughness and professionalism and hired hi...m shortly after. Because of his excellent guidance we went through the process of having to go to court multiple times as he recommended, to continue the trial on later dates. At the 3rd and final court date, Andrew tried his best to get a plea deal but the prosecutor was unwilling to make a friendly bargain. So we took the case to trial. This is where Andrew's expertise and skills shone through. I say this because Andrew completely turned around what could have been an absolutely unfavorable case to getting the judge to dismiss the case and letting me go free. Throughout the entire time Andrew was always explaining best case worst case scenario. He was always preparing us for the next steps and made sure we were well prepared going to court. He was always ready to go and fight my case. Be smart - hire this man.

When you go to court, even with a competent lawyer, there is never a guarantee for a favorable outcome due to the possibility of difficult prosecutors and/or judges. However, this was not an issue for Mr. Rudolphi. When I hired Mr. Rudolphi, I was met with the utmost professionalism. He would respond... to my emails right away and did a great job preparing for my case. During my case, the prosecutor wanted to fully convict me for my DWI 1st offense. However, Mr. Rudolphi and Mr. Boneta fought for me with absolute resilience and tenacity. They provided points/arguments that challenged the prosecutor and cops statements, from angles that I would not have thought of. In addition, Mr. Rudolphi displayed confidence and competence that I do not see from other lawyers. Long story short, my case was dismissed. Mr. Rudolphi is a very polite and respectable individual that will fight for you till the end. If you are ever in a situation, he is the man to hire.

I found Andrew Rudolphi and John A. Boneta & Associates while struggling to obtain a protective order from a person who was stalking, harassing and threatening me. I was overwhelmed with the situation and found the process of navigating the court system intimidating. From my first meeting with Andrew... and John, I felt that I was understood and they would do everything possible to help me obtain a protective order and feel safe. Andrew made time to speak with me and helped me understand the process. This was not an easy case, the person harassing me was very careful and there was not a lot of direct evidence. Andrew developed a detailed strategy putting together my evidence, witnesses and supporting material to create a case that could not be denied. Andrew was brilliant with his cross examination of the respondent and left no doubt that he was guilty and I deserved the order of protection. I would highly recommend Andrew, he is professional and dedicated to achieving a positive outcome.

This was my first time ever dealing with courts and all. I made a terrible decision and ended up with a DWI. I was nervous, anxious, scared I was feeling every negative emotion at once. I did not know how to go about the situation at all. I explored my options with lawyers and it seemed like they wer...e only concerned about the money. A friend passed onto me Andrew Rudolphi's information and I will forever be grateful. As soon as I walked into his office I felt at easy. I explained my situation/charge he was quick to give me advice and tell me what I should do in order to help my case. As opposed to other lawyers who just gave me the worst case scenario but nothing to help unless I paid them. I knew right off the bat Andrew was being genuine and actually cared. He worked with me and answered all my questions. Believe me when I tell you he looks in the best interest of his clients, he does his research and doesn't mind it at all. He made sure he had every single detail even the little things. The day of my court date I went in expecting the worst, considering it was my first time and I did not know what to expect or what was going to happen. Let's admit some judges and prosecutors can be harsh and unforgiving. Andrew remained calm and reassured me he was going to do everything he could to get me a great outcome. That's exactly what happen. I feel as if a thank you isn't even enough to explain how grateful and how much I appreciate Andrew Rudolphi's help. I would definitely recommend him as a lawyer and I will definitely save his information.( Not that I plan on getting into anymore trouble haha). Once again Thank you so much!!!!!!

I made a horrible mistake of drinking and driving after going to a Christmas dinner on December 21, 2015. I was initially pulled over for speeding, but after cop smelled alcohol and conducted the field sobriety test. I was booked soon thereafter and charged with DUI in Fairfax County with a BAC of ...0.10 and 0.11. I was miserable because I had gotten arrested 5 years ago in Arlington County for DUI, but since I only blew 0.05 BAC they gave me a nolle prosequi and amended the charge to a Reckless Driving. I vowed to then never drink and drive ever again. Five years later, here I am getting arrested again with the same offense. I knew I was in trouble and hated myself for it. John was referred to me by a cop in Arlington County, ironically enough. After meeting John and Andrew; the latter attorney is one of his associates at the firm, my initial impression of them were mostly positive. I was impressed with Andrew’s attention to detail and his methodical approach towards strengthening my case. John was a former cop and prosecutor, so I was confident he has the expertise to get the best possible outcome. But I still wasn’t 100% sure they will fight for me all the way. After consulting a few DUI attorneys, I concluded John and Andrew were the best team and retained them as my counsels. After retaining them I made some lifestyle changes and committed to being a good citizen. They advised I be patient during the waiting period, but having a DUI charge lingering over your head made it very challenging. During this time period, John assured me that he was the best DUI lawyer and would do everything in his power to get a favorable outcome and this provided peace and comfort. They advised I start on their mitigation package, which I completed before my court date, but I still didn’t know what was going to happen. The Prosecutor assigned was Fairfax County’s best DUI prosecutor and would not offer a plea deal at all, so my case got continued 3 times. I, unfortunately, ended up getting the same prosecutor again. So we went to trial and the rest is history. John was exceptional once the case went to trial. His opening statement was brilliant, and this really set the tone for the entirety of the trial. I felt like John was a surgeon, knowing the ins and outs about legal elements to suppress and discredit the arresting officer’s testimony. John continued to tear apart officer’s testimony and his report, given that the arrest video contradicted officer’s claims. John fought tooth and nails with the prosecutor about every evidence presented and discredited them. It almost felt the jostling between John and the prosecutor was a heavy weight title fight, but John was clearly the better attorney in that court room. To put it simply, John was more eloquent, detailed oriented, and delivered objections which led him to controlling the momentum of the trial. As the trial progressed, I felt good about my chances but still wasn’t sure how things would pan out. When the judge read the verdict and stated that Prosecutor did not prove beyond reasonable doubt and dismissed my case, I started crying. I was so elated and hugged John and Andrew. John and Andrew, I want to thank you for your exceptional work. You guys make an exceptional team. John is truly a brilliant trial lawyer and even a better person. I am truly blessed they both were my attorneys. I will give John and Andrew my highest recommendations! Sincerely, TS
