Hiring Him was the Best Decision

Choosing Andrew Rudolphi to handle my case was easily one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I received a reckless driving charge in Prince William County and was horrified to discover that this charge was a Misdemeanor and that the judge had the option of sentencing me to up to a year in jail! I ...was wracked with anxiety about this charge and reached out to several potential lawyers to help me with my case. Upon talking to Andrew, I was immediately put at ease. He acknowledged that my case was tricky but was confident that he could help get a more favorable outcome. He has several years of experience with this kind of case and had an established report with the prosecutor, which meant that he knew what type of mitigative actions I could take ahead of my court date that would likely convince her to look more favorably upon my case. In the lead up to my trial date, I followed Andrew’s instructions and completed all the recommended actions. I reached out to him a few times with questions and he was always quick to respond and offer support when I again felt nervous about the case. On the court date, Andrew arrived an hour and a half before my scheduled appearance time to speak with prosecutor and try to settle my case early. As I watched their interaction, it was immediately clear to me that Andrew really did have a great relationship with her and that she trusted his judgment. Andrew was able to secure a significantly reduced charge (Defective Equipment) that resulted in no jail time, no points on my license, and a very minor fine. This outcome was better than I had ever hoped for! I wholeheartedly recommend Andrew to anyone who is facing a similar charge. He is an immensely skillful lawyer, who has the knowledge, experience, and contacts to secure a favorable outcome in your case. Although I hope I’m never in need of his services again, he is someone I would immediately rehire if I find myself, friends or family in a similar situation.

Fairfax Virginia Reckless Ticket

I recently found myself in need of a lawyer for traffic court. Andrew was one of many that I talked to understand what I was up against. As I have never gotten a ticket in VA before, there were many things new to me as far as the process here. For one thing any speeding over 20mph is a reckless dr...iving charge. Andrew was very thorough in building an action plan to help reduce the impact of my ticket. He was able to explain his approach and this really set my mind at ease. He was one of the few lawyers that wanted me to be present during the court date and to be fully engaged in the process. We arrived early at court and we were able to secure a conference room to discuss the plan that morning. He was able to execute the plan perfectly. In the end we got a reckless charge reduced to a no points infraction. I could not have asked for a better outcome or better representation. Also, I could see in his interactions with the judge, prosecutor and law enforcement that he has built good working relationships with all of them. Additionally, he took the time to get to know my background and was able to use this during negotiations.

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 R...eckless 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.

Excellent Outcome!

Andrew reviewed hours of video footage repeatedly and had a perfect understanding of the facts surrounding my case. He arrived to court early and was first in line to meet with the prosecuting attorney. Andrew was able to secure a better agreement than I had expected. I am very glad that I had him on... my team.

A life saver

I was ticketed for throwing a cigarette butt out the window. But I didn't know is that's a class one misdemeanor. I found Mr. Rudophi's firm though Avvo when I was freaking out and they helped give me peace of mind. I interviewed several lawyers but I decided on Mr. Rudophi because he was confide...nt, kind, and it just felt right. I was worried about any convictions due to the nature of my work. Mr. Rudophi gave me homework to do and I did it. On the day of court he showed up and we talked for a little bit before he went to go speak with the prosecutor. While I was waiting I saw other people who were there who's lawyers were telling them if the judge calls your name and I'm not here tell him that I'm busy and they'll skip over you. I was so grateful to have Mr. Rudophi because I was only focus that morning. He was with me the whole way and ended up having the case dropped. I went from a nightmare to absolute relief and I know it's because I chose a good lawyer like Mr. Rudophi.
