The absolute best

From the first moment we met, we felt more like family than clients. Through one of the most difficult times our family has ever endured, they treated us with kindness, respect, and genuine care not just as a case, but as people whose lives were deeply affected. Their professionalism and legal ski...ll were evident at every turn. They listened attentively, explained every step of the process in clear, honest language, and made sure we felt supported. When things felt overwhelming, they provided calm leadership and reminded us we were not alone in this. Their preparation for the trial was outstanding they left no stone unturned, and their strategy reflected both a deep knowledge of the law and a sincere commitment to justice for my brother. We are endlessly grateful for their hard work, their heart, and the way they stood by our family. Thanks to them, my brother has his life back, and we have a tremendous sense of relief and appreciation. If you are looking for attorneys who will fight tirelessly for their clients and treat you like part of their family, look no further — we wholeheartedly recommend them. Thank you for everything.

Highly Recommended

I’m currently fighting a second degree murder case. After being incarcerated for a year, Rier represented me during my Arthur hearing, I was granted a bond along with house arrest and I’ve been reunited with my family.

I hired them for my son case. Murder dropped to manslaughter then all charges dropped.

Hands down this firm made my sleepless nights turn into a praise story! Their the best! 10/10

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I strongly endorse Andy. He literally pulled a miracle by winning a murder trial where the evidence was overwhelming in which I had the co-Defendant and due to his skills, my client's case also got dismissed. Andy is also one of few attorneys in Miami who is never afraid to go to trial and gets the results for his clients."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
