Andrew Rudolphi

The future of my career depended on the results of my case. Charges: DUI / Unattended Hit & Run (2 - Class 1 misdemeanors) Outcome: $250 Class 4 traffic ticket (no DUI, no Jail, no classes, no restricted/suspended or loss of license) Andrew spent many hours answering my questions and allevia...ting my concerns. John Boneta along with Andrew Rudolphi fought for me at trial and achieved an amazing result! John Boneta and Associates are the attorneys you want.

My brother's friend referred me to John A. Boneta & Associates, and that's when I came in contact with Andrew. Most people say you should never go with the first option you find, that you should always get a second opinion, but I knew from the first meeting with Andrew that he was the one I wanted... to represent me in court. And I made the right decision! Not only is he intelligent, well versed, thorough, and has high ratings online, but he is also supportive, nonjudgmental, patient, witty, personable, and unshakable. And those are all qualities I want in a lawyer. I was being charged with a DWUI: 1st offense. Since it was my first offense, he said he could easily get the charge dropped down to a reckless driving charge, and that's a compromise most people would want to take. But I told him I wanted the charges dropped altogether. His response was that it's not as easy of a guarantee as the former option but he was confident and ready to fight for it. This whole experience was entirely new to me and insanely overwhelming. I had never been to court before, never gone to trial before, and I understood close to none of the legal jargon. So, I’m INCREDIBLY thankful for Andrew. He patiently sat with me in the same courtroom for 7 hours, answering ALL of my questions and kept me from falling apart. When we finally went to trial, that lasted for 2 hours. It was 2 hours of intense back-and-forth arguments that truly showcased Andrew’s professionalism and tenacity. 3/4 of the way through the trial, I literally shed a tear because I thought there was no way I could realistically get the charges dropped altogether. There was an argument he kept trying to get across that kept getting overruled by the judge. But, no, this amazing, resilient man would not go down without a fight. Andrew argued from various angles, kept pushing, and eventually got his point across and won. I left the courthouse free of a DWI charge and I felt like I could finally breathe again! That feeling is priceless. In his own words, “Never give up until the fight is done.” Andrew Rudolphi is the best. You’d be a fool to not hire him.

Andrew is outstanding! My daughter was arrested for DUI and Andrew was wonderful in representing her. She went through alcohol recovery in another state, so we had to navigate the complexities of the Fairfax County Court in getting her restricted driving privileges acknowledged so she could get a res...tricted driver's license in another state. More complex than it sounds. He to s the best.

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

The moment I met Andrew he came off as very confident and quickly showed me why. I hired him for a dui case that was completely dropped which I believe is due to his exceptional preparation on knowledge on the matter. He kept me informed with what was important to the case and never over talked or us...ed an abundance of legal jargon to confuse the matter. Cool, calm, straight to the point.
