Highly Recommened

We engaged Andrew during a challenging time, facing a [misdemeanor] charge for a 1st time underage DUI charge that carried serious consequences. The situation was stressful and we were uncertain about what lay ahead. Andrew navigated the legal system with confidence and integrity, and kept us inform...ed and reassured, especially on the court day. While we had heard of Andrew’s excellent reputation, it was through his legal insight, strategic acumen, and a calm yet commanding presence, that he was able to find a more amenable outcome. If you’re looking for an attorney who combines top notch legal skills with innovative tactics, we would recommend Andrew. He gave us back our peace of mind — and for that, we are very grateful.

Best DWI lawyer!

After facing a DWI charge, I was overwhelmed with worry about potential jail time and license suspension. Choosing Andrew Rudolphi as my lawyer was the best decision I made. Andrew is not only responsive and caring but also incredibly knowledgeable and detail-oriented. He successfully reduced and rem...oved my charges, which is particularly challenging in the county where my case was. Thanks to Andrew, I achieved my main goals of avoiding jail time and license suspension. I highly recommend Andrew Rudolphi to anyone in need of legal assistance!

Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value

I was involved in a DUI case for the first time. It was hard to choose an attorney for me. Some famous attorneys were quite expensive. After reviewing several attorneys, I decided to hire Andrew Rudolphi. I chose him because he had a lot of good reviews and also gave me a reasonable price. When we ta...lked over the phone first time, he had already done some research about my case. It gave me an impression. He was always immediately responding to my emails when I have questions at any time. It was clear that my case cannot be dismissed, but our goal was to reduce my DUI into reckless driving. He suited the action to the word.   I got reckless driving, six months of driver's license suspension. On court day, we met first time because of the restrictions of the pandemic. He was wearing a red bandana that was sticking out. He was very consistent to reach our goal. I am very thankful for Andrew.

Very Satisfied!! An Accomplished Attorney!!!

This review has taken a while for me to get to, but I wanted to make sure I got it completed and sent out, as I feel it is important. I was in a very difficult and tricky situation with regard to driving under the influence which involved an accident in Vienna. I was in a state of shock for several d...ays afterward and realized I was not going to get through this ordeal without having a good attorney at my side. I made several inquiries online and such. I received a call from Mr. Rudolphi who gave me the sense that he knew what he was talking about with regard to my situation, that he could help and was also willing to work with me on the finances (I made a few installment payments). I felt relieved then, but I must say Mr. Rudolphi is a very proactive attorney who can guide anyone through steps they can take to help mitigate their circumstances; I did everything he asked of me and when we went to court, I felt sure that I had been provided excellent service and support from Mr. Rudolphi and his organization. Things could have been much worse, but I fared much better with Andrew on the case. Thank you, Mr. Rudolphi, for all that you did for me! ~ John

An absolute life saver on DUI / Probation Violation cases

Andrew Rudolphi is absolutely the BEST lawyer and I highly recommend using him! I first hired Andrew back in 2017 when my fiancé got arrested for his 3rd DUI driving on revoked license from previous DUI. This was a very serious felony charge that could of resulted in my fiancé spending many years beh...ind bars. Thank goodness for Andrew, his hard work, and great diligence this did not happen as he got us an outcome better than we could of ever expected. While being on probation from the above DUI he was arrested for a very unusual circumstantial DUI which violated his probation. Andrew was able to get my fiancé’s 4th DUI dropped to a 1st DUI and got the probation violation charge totally dismissed. Needless to say we are definitely pleased with the outcomes Andrew was able to get for my fiancé but even more pleased with the service we received from him throughout the two years. Andrew is very personal, patient, attentive, compassionate, great listener, creative, and very thorough. He displayed great work ethics, awesome communication skills and had absolutely remarkable response times even after hours. Andrew made us feel very comfortable throughout this very stressful process, and we more then appreciate all he was able to do for us!
